Let's get real...who is going to help you pee?

I may be the only one getting anxiety about this, but many of us have huge and heavy wedding dresses that our impossible to operate on our own. I pee a lot when I get nervous (tmi Emily gosh!) So I imagine this will be a problem for me on my wedding day. I honestly would only feel comfortable with having my groom helping me pee, but I'm worried about how that will look to guests since we haven't lived together before, and have very religious friends and family (ourselves included).

Who do you plan of trusting with your toilet trips? Maid of honour, mother, groom?? Let me know Smiley smile Thanks ladies!

    So I had thought of this leading up to my wedding as well and it ended up not being a problem because I was so distracted by everything and busy that I peed before the ceremony and then didn't go to the bathroom again for almost 8 hours lol. At that point I changed into sweatpants and could easily do it on my own. I would have trusted any of my friends and my mum to help out.

    This was my worry! My dress is a tight mermaid and I was worried about hiking it up or taking it off to use the washroom... all of my bridesmaids I would trust with helping me! I was even debating vetoing wearing underwear to make it easier than having someone try to find and pull down underwear haha!

    I think taking off and stepping out will likely be the better option tho!

    Honestly I picked a dress I could pee in by myself. I even get a bride's bathroom just for me at my venue - But I highly suspect I will have my bridesmaids following me in the bathroom just for girl chat as weird as that sounds. Haha

    I bought a bridal buddy. Not me in the pick but you get the idea. I bought it off Wish.com for $13-$15 it should arrive today or tomorrow so I'm not 100% if it will work yet but it should.

    My maid of honour will be helping me! She's my sister, so it's the easiest pick haha!! My dress is sheer with booty shorts under it so I will need to step out of it when I go to pee, so I'l need her to zip me out and back up each time!!

    I had a similar but slightly different problem, lol. Rather than a big heavy dress I had a tight mermaid dress, so my maids had to get me completely undone from my dress so I could step out of it and run around in my underwear whenever I needed to use the restroom. It was pretty darn hilarious actually.

    Emily, if you feel most comfortable with your FH helping you then go for it! The vast majority of your guests will have no idea, even if the restroom you'll use isn't super secluded from where the guests will be. Your comfort is far more important than how it'll look.

    I came across the Bridal Buddy a little while ago.

    Seems like it’s a pretty good idea, I’m likely going to rely on this because I really don’t want people helping me in the bathroom.

    I'll probably get my best friend and/or my mom. I don't plan on getting a huge dress, but I can see how that much fabric could get intimidating or complicated haha.

    I had my MOH and my bridesmaids help me when needed. It was something I was super uncomfortable about at first, and brought my MOH with me because we have been friends for a very long time, but eventually I had to go so many times, that I didn't care anymore. There is literally nothing to see, since it is all dress anyway. Sometimes the girls turned on the hand dryer to make it less weird lol.

    I say whoever you are most comfortable with, can help, whether that is your groom, MOH, or mom.

    If you are most comfortable with your groom then go for it! Youll be married anyway!

    I fortuneately have a tea length dress that i shouldnt need any help.... But if i do im not picky. I played on a womens rugby team for many years and let me tell ya. Group showers with 20 muddy women after the game really desensitizes you. Lol. So id probably feel comfortable asking anyone in the wedding party or just any one of my friends haha.

    I have a tea length dress so I don't think I'll have this issue thankfully. But if I do end up needing a little bit of assistance then I'll either be asking my then husband or MOH.
    If you only feel comfortable with him helping then forget what others think, your going to be married at that time so it is completely fine and appropriate! So go for it!

    More likely any of my bridesmaids, I am the type of person who can't pee with anyone in the room so it will be a struggle alone and I have smallest bladder of life so going to try to not drink much at all until the dinner time. I know anyone on my wedding party side would help me and I would be comfortable with any of them as well.

    My MOH and if need be one of my bridesmaids. Funny story, when I asked my MOH to be in the wedding she instantly googled duties and the first list she found had "help the bride pee" on it so she turned to me and with a big smile on her face (cause she was so excited about being in the wedding) was like "I get to help you pee all night!" Lol 😂

    If you feel most comfortable with your groom helping, then so be it! I’m assuming he’s comfortable too?

    My sister/MOH will be helping me, BUT I’m so comfortable with most of my close girlfriends that any of them or my mom or aunt could easily help me and I’d be comfortable (or my FH too but I know he wouldn’t want to help out there lol).

    My sister is my MOH, so it will be her. We are only a year apart, so the bathroom was shared for most of our young lives Smiley xd Smiley tongue no embarrassment there.

    My mom and my MOH! Although, I actually feel like the most helpful that person that day will likely end up being my daughter who is 8! lol

    My Mom and my sisters! If I didn’t have sisters, then my MOH. I wouldn’t mind helping a friend in the same situation, so take comfort in knowing that your friends likely won’t mind either Smiley smile

    I’m probably going to rely on my mom because I have bridesmen, so I really can’t ask them to help. I never thought of the groom though!
