This link explains the breath holding method.
The patients practices breath holding, breathing in deeply, then exhaling 75 percent of this breath. First it is held for 10 seconds, then for 15, then 20, etc.
This raises Blood C02 levels. Between 45 and 60 seconds, the muscles of the pelvic floor drop, and many feel an irreversible relaxation of the urinary sphincters.
I have tried this in the shower, it works. Of course I wore jeans just to make sure that it could override my potty training, this is precisely what happened.

Rebreathing into a paper bag to increase CO2 should have a similar result but I haven't tried that.

I can hold my breath for a few minutes. I must be doing it wrong because I have no urge to do anything nor an indication anything is going to happen other than a desire to inhale at about 1 minute mark.

Did you take a deep breath and exhale 75 percent?

Hoping that I can actually hold it for 60 seconds as the longest so far is 45 seconds and nothing happened. Hoping that it work as it always takes me several seconds to get flow going unless I am already super full and could probably fill a 1 liter bottle at that point. Maybe it had something to do with always holding it as a kid as I would always hold it rather then having to use a public restroom. I'm not at all a germaphobe though, so I can only figure it had to do with my social anxiety.
Ashley, sounds like you have a minor case of shy bladder. Welcome to the club.

Cough, cough. Choke. Gag. Thud
Not with these nicotine-filled lungs I don't, but I'm trying this by going as far as I can- so far 40 seconds is all I can do and I get dizzy but not wet

There is nothing I would love more than a temporary 'switch' which would made me lose bladder control, so as long as there's hope my lungs can use the work-out
