The Ikea bag hack that solves the awkward problem all brides face

Planning a wedding is never easy, with so much to organise it can be stressful to say the least.

However for brides the build-up is only part of it and when it comes to the day itself there is another major problem to solve.

The majority of brides opt for a long dress for their wedding day, probably one of the most expensive they'll ever own so it's not surprising to hear many worry about how they'll manage to go the toilet while wearing such a costly dress.

City sports bar Rileys gets a £250,000 revamp and a new football fanzone  

Well, thanks to Ikeahackers website , one bride has revealed her genius trick that solves this dilemma and it is to use an IKEA carrier bag.

On the trick, the website says: "Well, I got married a few weeks ago (in a mermaid wedding dress) and I was really worried about going to the bathroom and not being able to … handle myself. Someone helping or watching me going to the bathroom on my wedding day? Not being able to have free hands to use the toilet paper?

"My bridal bathroom helper hack took only 3 minutes. What I like best is it’s almost free and allows me to make my life easier on my wedding day."

The tip was shared onto Facebook group 10 ways to have more money and its post has since received more than 1,000 comments.

Past brides have praised the hack, with one commenting: "A life changer ... I went once when I got married and had to straddle the seat."

Primark speaks out over online shopping and click and collect rumours  

Another said: "This would've saved you some distress on my wedding day."
