Please excuse me and stop what you are doing. This can be a bit inconvenient if you are working in a large group of people. ^{[1] X Research Source}

You should get up without drawing attention.
Try to leave quickly while the people around are not paying attention. However, pay attention to the road to avoid accidentally bumping into someone.
Keep calm. If you look nervous, chances are people will notice. If you don’t know the people around you, try to walk slowly so as not to attract attention. If it’s people you know, try to get to the bathroom quickly. Don’t slouch when walking or cover wet areas, because if you do, people will notice you and start asking questions.

Cover your pants with a jacket or sweater. This is considered a simple way to cover the leak on your pants so that you can go to the toilet easily. It’s best to tie a coat that covers the stain in the back, because this is what other people usually do. If you’re wearing a long shirt, pull the hem down to hide the front area. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Tie the jacket around your waist.
Stay calm so you don’t look suspicious. Act as if nothing happened.
Calmly go to the toilet or go home

Pour drinking water on people. This method is only useful if you’re at a restaurant or if you’re holding a drink in your hand, and it’s a great shield if you don’t have a jacket on hand to cover your pants.

This will give you an excuse as to why your pants are wet before you apologize and go to the bathroom.
Joke about how clumsy you are and laugh as if the spill was an accident.
Apologize and go to the bathroom to clean up.

Rush to the toilet as quickly as possible. You can figure out for yourself whether you can get rid of the urine stain or if you should go home.

Look in the mirror or stand in the corner of the toilet to be more discreet.
If it’s just a small urine stain, you can try cleaning it off. If not, make an excuse to go home.
Try to come up with an excuse to leave, such as “I have to be home by 12” or “I have homework to do”.

Coping with stains and odors

Use water to wash your pants. You should do this to remove any urine stains from the fabric. ^{[3] X Research Sources}

This will also help you get rid of the smell of urine.
If it can be done discreetly, splash water on the toilet stain.
Otherwise, you can use absorbent toilet paper and scrub the stains in the toilet secretly.
You should also get rid of any odors or urine stains on your underwear. Do this in the bathroom so no one will notice.

Dry the stain with toilet paper. This will help get rid of the wet feeling in your pants and/or underwear.

Use lots of toilet paper.
Gently pat the stain dry.
If paper towels are still not enough to absorb moisture from your pants, try using a hand dryer.

Use a hand dryer. Step closer to the dryer and point the stain toward the machine’s airflow. ^{[4] X Research Sources}

Stand with your feet wide apart. This position will help you do the drying faster.
Shake your hips while drying the stain so that all wet areas are dried.
Stand in front of the hand dryer until the pants are completely dry.
Touch the pants to make sure there are no wet spots left.

Look in the mirror in the bathroom. See if there are any noticeable damp spots on the pants.

If so, use extra toilet paper to absorb moisture from your pants.
Next, use a hand dryer.
Once the pants are dry, you can go back to what you were doing if you can’t find any excuse to leave.

Use toilet paper to wipe the stain and dry with a hand dryer.
Smell to see if your pants still have any noticeable odors.

Try spraying perfume on your pants. This helps to mask the smell on your clothes.

Spray perfume directly onto the stain.
Remember that perfume needs to be strong enough to overwhelm any other scents.
Before leaving the toilet, double-check to see if you can smell anything.

Advice

If you experience this often, due to a medical or psychological condition, try carrying your pants and underwear with you.
Consider wearing specialized pants, if you pee frequently.
If someone notices you, try to tell them to keep it private.
