What an incredible showing of patriotism from Senator Booker. But inquiring minds need to know: how the hell did he go that long without peeing?! Did he wear an adult diaper?
I am a 40 y/o woman and wake up every night at 3 a.m. to pee—I can’t make it 4-5 hours without my bladder calling it quits. What is this 55 y/o man’s secret!?
Bravo to the Senator AND his bladder.

Likely he drank light amounts of fluid then “emptied the tank” before he went up.
I’d never recommend it as hydration is important but it can be done without Depends
Since he was never allowed to leave the podium, I am assuming he either had a diaper on but it is more likely that he utilized an external catheter. It is also possible he had an external catheter and a diaper just in case he had to defecate.
He said in an interview he had essentially dehydrated himself ahead of time.
I’d say Booker needs to do an AMA, we all want to know how he prepped for this, but maybe those should all be “trade secrets.” They will be needed a lot over the next four years.
What did he accomplish by doing this?
I’d imagine the adrenaline of doing this might’ve helped.
My guess is a foley catheter and a leg bag.
He probably had a piddle pack on.
Depends.
He didn’t eat or drink. https://x.com/mkraju/status/1907231878907822560
Likely had less food and water and emptied the tank before going up. When fasting, i’ve also observed that the need to use the bathroom decreases significantly. Since he had to speak so much, I assume he cut down on water and had something at hand if he needed to defacate. It’s definitely possible with a bit of preparation.
Drank straight Pedialyte is my guess, emptied the bladder and went on a rant.
In addition to the dehydrated/depends theory, I’m reminded of a Reddit story (which I can’t find, apologies) where a user stated that they essentially spent the entire weekend in their room due to an unsafe living situation.
They didn’t eat; didn’t go to the bathroom, and I THINK didn’t drink. Their stress told their body that it wasn’t safe .
The human body is fascinating. Because even if we hypothetically agreed that he was wearing a single Depends or had a catheter, he still stood on his feet for 25 hours, and he still only drank like 2 small glasses of water, and he still managed to talk the majority of the time; for 25 hours! That is insane to me.
I HATE the word Patriosm.
Grow up!!!
He went to 4chan and learned about piss bottles.
Depends.
He wore a diaper but can’t say it outloud
Curious what this speech is about? Why was it 24 hours? Did people have to remain in attendance and suffer through that?
Beware a righteous man with nothing to lose
The fact you guys have a system of government that depends on how long people can go without peeing is bonkers.
