So... Bridal Buddy? Is it worth it?

Rebecca, on March 3, 2018 at 1:21 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 18
Has anyone her used a bridal buddy? Is it worth the $60? Did you have a different solution for going to the bathroom in your dress? The bottom half of my dress is kinda wide, and the bathrooms at my venue are kinda small.

For those of you who are unfamiliar

    Hold up the front of your dress with one hand and squat over the toilet backwards (facing the back wall). That's how we did it old school style.

    You could also just cut holes in a trash bag and use the bag ties to pull it tight around you. If you don’t want anyone to see it, you can just put it in a cute little bag in the bathroom at your venue and grab it when you need it. (You might want extras for multiple uses and in case you rip one) If you use one of those big black bags, you can easily fit a big fluffy dress in it. And it’s an easy thing to try out if you’re not sure it will work. If it doesn’t, you can use the bags for something else Smiley smile

    Sitting on the toilet backwards is honestly the way to go. When my sister got married I went every time with her to the bathroom and had to hold up the dress and she had to try to find the seat. Very hard!

    I bought one. But didn’t pay $60. I got mine on eBay for $13. Knowing me I’d pee all over my dress. LOL

    You reaaaaaally need to read this. It's actually a super useful guide!!! And I'm biased because I think it's also hilarious. It does feature the bridal buddy Smiley smile

    I sent my bridesmaids an article from WeddingWire. I think it was titled " The Official Guide to Peeing While In your Wedding Gown." I'm not joking. I don't know what I'm going to do, though. I have to use catheters and need room to insert. My skirt is ENORMOUS, too!! I know this is very personal, but I think I need advice, too.

    I’ve read reviews. 50/50 good and bad. No personal experience. I have a lot of dress my poor MOH is going to have to help me. Lol I’ve read that sitting on the toilet backwards is easier

    Personally you can use a black lawn garbage bag, cut a hole in the seamed end big enough for you to put your legs thru and then pull it up. Even if you go thru numerous bags on the day of you still will be under the $60 dollar cost.
