Hi everybody

Has anybody heard / have a "toilet card "

Sometimes it is called a 'NO WAITING CARD'

Or

'Just can't wait card'

It is a discreet credit card sized card which states that the card holder has a medical condition and needs to use the toilet urgently.

Yes I've heard about them; allows you to bypass the queue for the loo if you have a medical condition that dictates that you can't wait.

Many of the general public aren't aware of them though so can be a little bit 'rude' about someone pushing in despite you showing it to everyone as you squeeze past them.

Yes I have 2 as I have an ileostomy . I've never had to use it as I have a radar key for disabled toilets so if I do get out I use the key.xxx

If you have a shop mobility centre in your town, they will probably sell them. I got mine there. Not hear of the toilet card one tho until I saw this posting.

Hi sim a

I've got one of those cards. You can get one from the bowel and bladder foundation. Just google it and they will come up. X

I have just been on the bladder and bowel site and normally the cards cost five pounds but because they have changed management they are not charging at the moment. The form is really simple to fill in.
