Save your wedding dress from toilet water with The Bridal Buddy
Your wedding day can be pretty stressful even without worrying that your dress will fall in the toilet when you go to the bathroom.
Have no fear -- the Bridal Buddy has you covered.
While bridesmaids are also your designated wedding dress protectors, they can't always be there to save the day. With the Bridal Buddy -- a functional skirt to be worn under your wedding dress -- now you can pee on your big day without the help of multiple women.

It can be folded up to temporarily bag a wedding dress while a bride uses the toilet. The skirt also has holes through which its wearer can slip her arms.
Heather Stenlake, inventor of the Bridal Buddy, tells Mashable via Facebook that her experience in the bridal industry inspired the product.
"I came up with the idea when I worked in a bridal shop in 2002 -- the brides would always ask 'How am I supposed to go to the bathroom in this thing?'" she said.
After realizing that the only solutions to this common dilemma required either a great deal of work, extra hands or a potentially pretty gross outcome, Stenlake was inspired to take action.
"My friends have used it and love it," Stenlake said. "The one thing that brides need to keep in mind is that, just like your new bridal heels -- you have to break them in. Take a few practice tries so [the Bridal Buddy] will be ready to go on the big day."
