It varies quite a lot for me. I lost a lot of coordination/sensation from an illness years ago, and my body tends to cycle between better and worse.
When things are cooperating I get a good couple of minutes of warning before I can't hold it any longer, but am able to stay dry/clean with timed voids - my "dry days". I almost always have trouble telling when my bladder is full, regardless of what's going on, so I tend to stick to a voiding schedule for both bladder and bowel and that works really well. I will occasionally go use the toilet on a dry day and realize how badly I needed to go, but didn't notice. So, this feels sort of normal but lacks a bit of fine instrumentation. "Nearly there" and fairly reliable.
When things are not cooperating, my usual experience is "static" and this results in OAB, irritable bowel, muscle spasms, back cramps, ab cramps, bloating, issues with peristalsis, etc, which then manifest as high urgency, both with or without wetting / soiling. I call this "the squeeze" as it often feels like someone is squeezing my bladder or colon for me, randomly. More often, static causes OAB wetting which I have little control over. My IBS shifted to C dominant about 6 years ago which was a blessing tbh. I deal with soiling a lot less but it still happens. I will try my best to make it to the toilet so I don't have to deal with it. This feels like a sudden pressure /having to go that you might be able to hold for a moment, but it will just overwhelm you in seconds, and is usually wetting/flooding.
Occasionally I have days where I have little to no sensation whatsoever and things just happen. I often don't know I am wetting until I've already started, or just finished. These are less common. This feels like a small trickle, or a small spurt, or like nothing at all but a growing warm spot. I might soil standing up or bending over, not knowing I needed to go.
"Static" seems to be the most common these days, with better and worse days in between. Static sucks, I generally prefer it either just works, or it doesn't. It is what it is. though.
