After the months of Heather's pregnancy, Lauren, Kelsie and Heather all just wanted to return to a normal life, even if for a little while. They had all done short holds, long holds, holding both bladder and bowels, usually one or the other, but occasionally both. They got back to discussing holding games and scenarios, especially after Heather had recovered from delivery, and was feeling rested and more normal again. Well, normal except that her constipation had continued after pregnancy and didn't seem to have eased off much, as she was going every 4 or 5 days.
Lauren had mentioned she wanted to break her previous record of holding her bowels, and the trio discussed options for how to help Lauren meet that goal. The problem was that Lauren was simply too full by day 6 to keep her load in any longer, and her body started forcing it out. They discussed anti-diarrhea meds, bulking foods, but Kelsie came up with the best, and coincidentally naughtiest, idea of the bunch. She proposed to the other two that heavy foods would help, but when the urges started trying to force the load out, Lauren would need a butt plug ready to go and would insert it so the load wouldn't come out no matter how desperate she was. The other two loved the idea, especially Lauren as she realized there might not be any other way for her to get past 6 days of holding. So she followed Kelsie's advice, researched and bought a simple butt plug, and waited for it to arrive before starting her hold. As she had expressed to Kelsie and Heather, she would want to be on day 5 on her Friday so she could make it a full week going on Sunday. She pooped on Sunday, making sure she got everything out. Then she started holding her load in her bowels.
Thursday night her need started getting very difficult to hold, and she wondered whether she should wait on the butt plug until tomorrow or put it in right away. Heather convinced her to wait, and hold naturally as long as she was able, so Lauren went to bed struggling badly not to shit.
Friday morning, she was awakened by a massive turtlehead forcing her anus open, and she tried to clench her hole, but the shit had come out too far already. She reached a hand to her ass, then pushed with two fingers until her load retreated back into her rectum and squeezed her anus shut around it. This was getting extremely difficult, and Lauren wasn't sure she'd be able to hold much longer without assistance. When she showered and got dressed for work, Kelsie met her in the kitchen. Lauren expressed how difficult it was to hold in her bowel movement with it pressing so hard to get out, and Kelsie said, "You just need to keep holding it. I wouldn't put in that plug unless you absolutely have to."
Lauren whined, "But I have to poop so badly! I don't think I'll be able to make it through work without shitting myself!"
"Well," Kelsie said, "keep that plug and a small amount of lube in your purse, then be ready to move to the bathroom if you really can't hold it."
Lauren agreed to the plan, had her breakfast, and left for work shortly thereafter. Kelsie and Heather followed a short time later.
At work, Lauren was struggling to hold on but trying not to be too obvious about it. With 5 days of poop in her bowels though, she was desperate and could only hide it so much. She somehow made it to lunch without losing it, but her massive log kept prairie dogging badly and she had to force it back into her rectum a few times. It was shortly after her lunch break that the need became so overwhelming that she felt like she'd lose it in her panties if she didn't take additional control measures. She took some looks around the office to make sure no one would notice her carrying her purse to the bathroom, and carefully waddled straight there, clenching hard against her shit that by all rights should already have filled her panties.
When she got into the thankfully empty bathroom, she waddled into a stall, groaning softly with the effort it was taking to avoid shitting her panties on the spot. She hiked up her skirt, pulled down her panties and hung her purse on the door hook. She found the plug and lube, still struggling against a massive turtlehead trying desperately to come out. She thought for a moment and realized that while she knew she'd need to lube the plug to avoid doing damage to herself, she also didn't want it to come out too easily because it was too slick. So she applied just a small amount on the tip only, then bent forward as she slowly started easing the plug into her desperately full rectum. It hurt, as did the new pressure on her bowels from her shit being pushed back in, but Lauren kept pushing until the plug was firmly sealing her anus. She then released her hold on her bowels to see what would happen. She was worried the plug wasn't going to stay in place, but as the pressure built in her rectum, the plug didn't seem to move a millimeter. The pressure in her bowels was significant, but the plug was working to retain her massive load in her bowels. She still had to be careful and clench when she needed to in order to keep the plug from coming out prematurely, but she felt a sense of relief and confidence that her bowels would be contained a bit longer. She survived the rest of the workday feeling desperate, but safely plugged.
She finally made it home, and Lauren was still feeling quite desperate, but the plug was working well to keep her bowels full. Heather was home, and asked how things were going. Lauren admitted that she had needed to put in the plug, and Heather said that was fine, as it was better than losing control too early. Kelsie arrived home shortly thereafter, and Lauren gave her the same update. While her bowels were extremely full, Lauren felt confident the plug would do its job, and the rest of the evening went by uneventfully other than some desperately full bladders.
Saturday morning arrived with Lauren feeling an overwhelming need to push her load out, but the plug was still safely holding her logs inside her bowels. She did, however, need to piss so badly she was about to wet the bed, so she scrambled to her feet and waddled to the bathroom, pulling her panties down as she moved to the toilet. She sat down quickly, and her bladder started forcefully emptying the moment her ass hit the seat. She sighed with relief, then noticed Kelsie potty dancing in front of her with a look of desperation on her face.
"Need to go dear?"
"Yes!" Kelsie said, "I'm about to explode!"
"I guess I can let you go if you REALLY need to," Lauren said, "would you like that?"
"Please," Kelsie said, I'm about to piss myself!"
Lauren slowly got off the toilet and Kelsie almost shoved her out of the way before sliding her panties down her legs and launching herself onto the toilet seat before her pee splashed into the bowl like a firehose. As she was sighing with utter relief, Heather came shuffling in, looking like she was about to die with desperation. She danced as she twisted her ass toward the other two, and as she lowered her panties, they could both see a log poking out of her asshole. No words were necessary as Kelsie quickly made the toilet free for Heather. As Heather started stepping toward the toilet though, she whimpered, and Lauren and Kelsie turned to watch as her massive load quickly accelerated out of her asshole completely outside Heather's control and piled on the floor as her bladder released down her clenched legs and onto the floor forming a massive puddle.
Lauren and Kelsie looked on in shock as Heather turned red from embarrassment. "I guess I'm still not quite back to normal after the baby yet."
"Jeez, I guess not," Lauren said, "but that was hot!" Kelsie voiced her agreement as well, which put Heather mildly at ease.
With everyone's immediate needs out of the way, the girls had breakfast and showered after Heather cleaned her mess off the floor. It was after their showers that Heather asked Lauren how she was feeling. "Well, the urge to shit is pretty bad, but the plug seems to be holding it back pretty well."
Kelsie asked, "Do you feel like you have to clench to keep the plug in place?"
