On the Sept 20 episode of the Women on Top podcast, Bilson revealed that she still uses her daughter’s baby potty in a unique way. Specifically, she uses it for toilet emergencies in her car. “I do keep my daughter’s baby potty from when she was little in the way back of the car. And if I have to go, I put it in the back seat and I pee in it and dump it,” she said. “I have my spray bottle with soap. I have a whole thing. I am a pee-er you guys.”

She detailed how she gets anxiety peeing in public places, saying, “If I hover, I get pee fright, and I feel pressure, and it’s not gonna come out. I have to sit or stand.”

Bilson went on about how the baby potty prevents her from squatting, making it easier. “If I am in heels, I’m kind of standing more than bending over. Literally just standing with your legs apart and the toilet is underneath you,” she said. “And then your body is more relaxed and it doesn’t feel the pressure like I’m squatting. I have to pee, it just comes out.”

Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go (and she has a plan all set up for it)!
