"Just Can't Wait" Cards: A Practical Solution for Urgent Needs

When you're out and about, the last thing you want to worry about is finding a bathroom in a hurry. But for many people, this is a real concern. This is where our "Just Can't Wait" cards come in. They're straightforward, easy to use, and can make a big difference in day-to-day life.

What Leads to Urgent Bathroom Needs?

Several conditions can cause sudden and urgent needs for a bathroom. Let's look at a few:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A chronic condition that affects the large intestine, IBS can lead to a range of symptoms including abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, and alternating periods of diarrhoea and constipation. The unpredictable nature of IBS flare-ups can make urgent bathroom access a necessity.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): This term primarily covers two conditions: Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Both conditions cause long-term inflammation of the digestive tract, which can lead to severe and urgent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss.
Overactive Bladder (OAB): Characterized by a frequent urge to urinate, OAB can lead to urgency incontinence, where there is a sudden and intense need to urinate and an inability to delay going to the bathroom.
Urinary Incontinence: This encompasses various types of incontinence, such as stress incontinence (leaking urine during physical activity or when coughing) and urge incontinence (a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine).
Pregnancy: Many pregnant women experience a frequent need to urinate due to the growing uterus putting pressure on the bladder. This can often lead to a sense of urgency and increased frequency.
Prostate Issues: Men with enlarged prostate conditions, such as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), often experience urinary frequency and urgency, which can be both uncomfortable and inconvenient.

Having one of these conditions can be more than just a physical issue. It can make you anxious about going out, worrying about whether you'll find a toilet in time. This anxiety can make you avoid social situations, which isn't great for your wellbeing.
