Rachel Bilson doesn’t mind sharing her experience with “pee anxiety” — including the surprising item that has helped her face the issue.

“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,” Bilson, 42, detailed during the Wednesday, September 20, episode of the “Women on Top” podcast. “I have my spray bottle with soap. I have a whole thing. I am a pee-er you guys.”

The actress, who shares 8-year-old daughter Briar Rose with ex Hayden Christensen, admitted she “cannot hold” her pee when she is in a public place. Instead, Bilson has developed a system when it comes to going to the bathroom outside of her home.

“If I hover, I get pee fright, and I feel pressure, and it’s not gonna come out. I have to sit or stand,” she continued. “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. 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.”
