Your wedding day is one of the biggest milestones in your life, a day to cherish and remember forever. But it can also be a stressful one too. With months of meticulous planning going into this celebration, you want everything to go smoothly! So you account for every potential problem that could possibly occur.

But did you think about how you’re going to go to the toilet in that huge wedding dress? With the champagne flowing, there are going to be frequent pee breaks, and it’s hardly realistic to be getting dressed and undressed each time.

Enter this British woman, only identified as Tina. She really has thought of everything, and solved this particular issue with our old friend the IKEA bag. She posted the pictures of her genius hack on IKEA hackers blog, and it quickly went viral.

Cutting a hole in the bottom of the iconic bag, Tina gathers the folds of the dress and lifts the bag up, putting the straps over her shoulders. Now the fancy, ‘mermaid-style’ wedding dress is all in one neat package, and won’t get sullied by a dirty bathroom floor. Clever, right?

“Well, I got married a few weeks ago (in a mermaid wedding dress) and I was really worried about going to the bathroom and not being able to … handle myself,” Tina said about her invention.
“Someone helping or watching me going to the bathroom on my wedding day? Not being able to have free hands to use the toilet paper? Or even worse if my period decides to show? NO WAY! Some stuff like this bridal bathroom helper exists but are expensive just because it is wedding related.”
“My bridal bathroom helper hack costs about 0.80 euro and I did it the day before my wedding. It took only 3 minutes. What I like best is it’s almost free and allows me to make my life easier on my wedding day. So here is the hack.”
People responded positively to the funny, yet effective hack
Glad I looked at all the pics before commenting. For a hot minute I thought somehow she was going to rig the bag up her dress and pee in it.
Same.
Haha! Glad it wasn't just me that thought that!
Yep, me too.
Lmfao
Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought that....
Same haha
So did I 😆
Necessity is the mother of the bride, I mean, invention. I do, however, desperately want a portable bubble bath now...
So... she was concerned about not being able to go to the restroom by herself, so she fashioned a device to allow her to do so... then invited somebody to the restroom with her to photograph her using the restroom "by herself"?
She was proud of herself and wanted to brag a bit (and potentially help others)! And I can see why. :)
Bride didnt say the DJ took the photos - only that the DJ had posted them. And who knows - maybe the DJ was a she?
Oh, come on! The Ikea bag was a pretty clever idea, and you"re going on about who took the pics and other nasty comments? Just and Etan, you just have dirty minds and probably wish you'd been the person taking the pictures. Shame on you, bigots.
Right?! It wasn't even someone close to her, but the DJ 🤦🏽♀️
Lmao, exactly!
Lol right!! The Bride's "Ah duhh" moment 🤣
