Think of it this way: try opening a canal lock when the lock is full, then try it when the lock is empty.
I'm not a doctor, but suspect our sphincters work in a similar way in as much that the more pressing the need to pee the stronger the comand from the potty-trained brain to hold fast.
If you empty your bladder the need to hold the sphincters tight slips from the top of the brains to-do list and, just like in ther canal, your sphincter can relax and open.
Some pee runs out, but not much, so the mind makes no programme changes, but accepts the little accident.
Over time you'll find the sphincter can stay relaxed longer and longer, letting out more and more pee.
It's great when it happens, there's no need for panic (there's not too much pee in the tank, and that knowledge keeps the sphicter perfectly relaxed till well after you are empty.
