I have a quick question a bit embarrassing If you could ask your...

Hi You will need some one to go with you every time you go to hold your dress out of the way :)

Bridal shop told me to sit the wrong way lol so you just have to lift your dress at the front, it works too

Do you have a hoop? May help. Make sure disabled toilet is available so you have more space. I've also heard it's easier to straddle the toilet!!

someone sent this to me haha. not sure if it works as i managed without doing this

My wedding is 10 weeks away and I'm having the same worry. My dress is a fishtail and very fitted....corset back too so I'm terrified haha ive told my bridesmaids to be warned I may have to strip everytime I need a wee lol xx

There's a trick where you use a bin liner....

Face the back of the loo...worked a treat...also see if there is a disabled loo you could use x

Supposedly make a small hole in a bin bag for your feet to go thru then lift it upwards with the layers of your dress inside it

I had quite a big dress with a longish skirt, I had my adult bridesmaids take me to the toilet to help, and I go just thinking about a drink!

Bridal buddy, YouTube or Google it x

My sisters dress was skin tight from the top to the bottom of her knees. There was no way she was going to get the toilet without taking it off every single time. Thankfully we only had to take off and back on again 4 times the whole day. But 30mins each time took a lot out of the day.
I've seen people have a tie put in so you can tie the whole dress up when using the toilet? Also check there's enough room in the public loo for you, your dress and a helper if you don't have your own room x

Sit the other way round on the loo. X

I did the face the wrong way trick and got my sister to hold my dress. As long as you have someone to help that you're comfortable with it's the easiest way x

You know what I had all this worry had black bags in the toilet I had a huge princess dress with a hoop and not once did I need help or a bag or anything l. It was absolutely fine honestly don't stress about it x x

Stadium pal? ;P

I wee ALL the time. On my wedding day, I only ended up going twice in my dress because I was too busy. i needed someone with me both times though, it's not easy with a big dress! xx

The best way is to sit on the toilet backwards, have a bridesmaid help but it's easier to do ! X

There's this product called "the bridal buddy"! I'm thinking of getting it for my own wedding but it looks top knotch

Sit on the toilet facing forward xx

Sit backwards on the toilet 🙈

You will find a way that suits you on the day. I had my moh help me throughout the day and then realised I could manage on my own so long as I went front facing on the pan..wasnt ideal but was so much easier xx

You'll find it easier to.walk onto the toilet rather than turn around and use it the normal way. Also have you seen the bin bag trick?

I was panicking more about this than anything else in the end I think!
I got married nearly 3 years ago & had a massive princess dress, 11 layers plus my hoop!
I'm not a big drinker luckily but obviously people buy you drinks constantly- I didn't get to finish one full drink all day/night haha!
I was so lucky & held off needing the loo for the whole wedding, I literally went on the loo just before getting in my dress (got married at 1pm) & didn't put dress on until very last minute (yes we kept everyone waiting!) & I only had to leave my room them walk across the hotel to the room I was getting married in so it was nice & easy.
I must admit though by the time the evening was done & we went back to the room I was dancing about desperate to get out my dress so I could have a wee hahaha... Corset back dresses are not easy to get out of

My dress is also huge! I think I found the solution!!! adult nappies

you'll need some good friends to hold it out of the way. it's one of your brides maids jobs!! :)

A smaller dress

Sit facing the cistern and just lift the front of your dress!!!

I walked forward into the loo and picked up all of the skirt from the front. My dress was huge and that method worked you just couldn't shut the loo door! Xx

I had a big dress with layers and a hoop, my sister went with me to the toilet to keep my dress out of the way, maid of honour duties lol,

I know it's going to sound weird, but I sat on the loo backwards so facing the cistern to ensure nothing went on it x

I went the wrong way round. Take your knickers off completely and sit on the toilet facing the wall!! Worked a treat for me!!

Been thinking the same. Wedding in 7 wks and think will need my daughter to help with this logistical nightmare, don't think I will be drinking much

You can buy a buddy for your dress. You wear it under your dress pulling a cord that brings all your dress into a net type thing allowing you to go alone to the toilet. Google wedding dress buddy xxx

I had a princess dress and managed on my own with a piece of advice from a close family friend. Only works if you aren't wearing full tights. Basically you lift up front of dress, straddle toilet and sit and move underwear to one side. The rest is simple. Not a very dignified way but it is a lot simplier and easier the the conventional way. Xxxx

Mines tight fitting where my thighs are so I can't even lift mine up, I got suggested to take a jug with me and hover 😂 x

I sat on the loo facing the wrong way straddling the seat while my bridesmaid held the back of my dress haha

Go forwards onto the toilet! You can lift the front and shimmy your way over it and then reverse off! It's what I did and it was fine :)

Sit in the toilet backwards x

Top tips Emma Slattery

My mum helped me but the day goes so fast theres no time for a wee! I had two all day!

I used the disabled loo, more room and just flipped the hoops up lol

I was worried about this too! I had a fairly big dress and I managed to go by myself x

That's what bridesmaids are for x

My dress had just about the same amount 😂 the first time my maid of honour had to come help! 😂 the second time I just bunched it all up and lent forward a little so my dress wasn't in the firing line so to speak 😂 don't fret it xx

That's what bridesmaids are for

Can you not just use the last layer of petticoat to scoop it all in? I had a hoop & big skirt at my 1st wedding & still managed to go the loo alone.. Maybe your over thinking the problem..

Girlfriends.
Thats how i did it!

I had quite a big dress and I was worried about this, you'll find away, I was going the loo by myself in the end! Sit on backwards it 100% helps

There is an invention called the bridal buddy that exists. It acts as an underskirt underneath your dress and you can use it to gather your dress up so you can go to the toilet without requesting help. https://bridalbuddy.net

That's what bridesmaids are for! Xx

I got married 2 weeks ago and I was concerned about this cos my dress wasn't massive but was big enough and had a bit of a longish train but my sister got married last year and she told me what to do. All I did was lifted the hoop up and bunched the dress inside the hoop with some help from my MOH (my sister) and it was so easy to go then when u stand up u just let it go and it all just falls down and back into place x

I bought a bridal buddy from the US, everyone laughed but I swear it was amazing! Like a big net to put your dress in so you can go alone! Xx

I'm the same but I literally only went once. My sister came with me and held my dress up over my head

Bin bags wedding dress toilet trick

I had a big princess dress and the lady who altered my dress told me to go to the loo forwards, it's a bit weird but I managed fine and with no help x

Rather than back in to the toilet walk in and straddle. My bridal shop gave me this advice and it works a treat get someone to hold your dress from behind and it frees up your hands

2 words: bin bag. More specifically those big 100l ones. Cut/rip one single hole in the bottom, big enough for you to put both your feet through and bring it to just above your bum...no bigger! Step into it and gather your dress into it as you pull it up. Pull it as high as you need to be able to sit on the loo!
I managed to do it on my own but you can get a friend to help. Its the quickest, easiest and least embarrassing solution i could find!!

I had 9 layers and managed ok! Take a bridesmaid with you when you need to go and if you have a hoop under your dress that'll hold your dress up nicely. Sit sideways on the loo xx

I was told the best way was to straddle the toilet so to speak and that works x

you are apparently supposed to sit the other way around on the toilet so you can pull your dress up at the front. I didn't hear that until after my wedding though and I just tasked that to my mum & bridesmaid. I also did it for the bride when I was a bridesmaid xxx

Have a bridesmaid you don't mind weeing in front of help you, and try going front facing on the loo, rather than backwards. I also found going to our room in hotel was better as bathroom was massive and there was no risk of the loo being dirty xx

I went by myself I found sitting backwards facing the wall with my back to the door worked for me but you can but things to wear under your dress that you use to scoop up your dress for going to the loo xx

My dress was pretty big, I managed on my own as I didn't want to ask for help, I sat normally and kind of twisted the train and skirt up then placed it in my hoop and held the whole thing up. It was really easy I practiced at home a few times with my dress on to find the most comfortable way. I also used the disabled toilet as there was more space in there..

This was my dress and it was about as big a skirt as they get! You'll need some help but get your dress all scooped up and sit down backwards! Our reception was in the hotel we were staying it so I used our bedroom bathroom as there was more room :)

Sit backwards on the toilet facing the cistern. That worked perfectly for me and kept my dress mostly out of the way.

I didn't even think of this at my wedding and we had a marquee in a field so our toilets were tiny portaloos and even by the evening when I had had a few to drink I managed in the tight space I had with no help so I'm sure you'll be fine lol xx

If you look online you an actually get a bag type thing you step into and fold over the entire bottom of the dress lifting it up.

I wee a lot and I really worries bout this too but I was fine!! My seamstress told me to grab the undermost layer and lift it up from there- and go on the toilet backwards! I didn't need any help at all- good luck xx

U need a bridesmaid to help you this is me in my 10 layered princess style dress attempting to toilet

There's a gadget out there that you wear under your dress and you can pull a toggle at the bottom that gathers it all up for you! I can't remember the name which doesn't help much though sorry 🤦‍️

I had the same issue. I had to sit on the toilet facing the back of it with help. Embarrassing, but that's what family is for!

If you have a hoop pick up your hoop and tuck your dress into it and lift up towards your head!

I've seen things before saying to sit on the loo backwards as it makes it easier and get your moh or bridesmaids to help you. Another option is to get a white Maxi dress of some kind to wear in the evening to make it easier??

Sit on the loo backwards with someone helping/hiding the dress

Order a bridal buddy. Type it in on YouTube. I'm so tempted to get one myself x

I'm the same and normally have to go to the loo loads lol but after I put my wedding dress on at 10am I only went twice the whole day and drank loads.. I think all the excitement and adrenaline and the fact I was so busy trying to talk to everyone made me forget about going to the loo lol.. Definitely take someone with you to help with your dress, I took my mum and I definitely needed her there x

I had a big dress ... this was me

Rheanne Yull

Face backwards (lads way) it's so much easier, I had a big dress and had no problems x

Sit on the toilet the other way facing the cistern/wall. I had a ten layer dress and it was easy doing it this way x

Someone had shown me a video of a bridal buddy from the US where the petticoat had a zip cord in it and handles so you could pull it up inside out and use the pull cord to hold it while you do your business, then simply release it and you have no creases in the dress. Its on you tube. Anyway, I was a large bride so couldn't get one to fit me, so when I got my petticoat (from China for £15 each so I had 2 just in case) my mum tried to replicate it for me. It wasn't exact, no pull cord etc but the handles worked perfect with my A frame dress and it enabled me to go alone. Just as well cos I also woke up with an unscheduled period as well to deal with. Thankfully, it did the job and no dramas.

Bridal buddy. Not cheap but sounds perfect! Google it 😊

Bride buddies are meant to be good

ask your mum or sister or best friend to hold your dress up for you x

I was told to sit on the toilet backwards as the dress is longer at the back, so legs around the cistern aha

I found the best way (not very ladylike I know but .... ) was to sit on the toilet forwards, less dress at the front so easier to hoist it up!! X

Dont panick, i used the disable toilet and backed in, you only have to sort the back of the dress then, I had a huge princess dress with double hoops, didnt have or need help i was fine xx

I sat on toilet backwards xx

I'm actually planning to take my dress off, when I need to go, I'm hoping not to have to go too often

It will be a little adventure trying to go to the toilet in a big dress, i found sitting on the toilet backwards with the front of the dress bustled up get a bit of help if you need it.

Nikita Holloway you're gonna have to be my pee buddy next year please

Sit on the loo backwards. Trust me, it's the only way I could do it in mine and surprisingly not as uncomfortable as you'd imagine lol. Have a practice at home!
