More peace of mind for when you're traveling, at work, or any place you find it hard to reach a bathroom. Get a group of people with Colitis together and you'll hear the "almost didn't make it" and "didn't make it" and "weirdest places I pooped" stories. For those "almost didn't make it" fears, these pads are the way to go. No it's not embaressing, it's smart. When in a flare-up, it's important to lower stress levels and this is sure to help calm your nerves if you can't spot the nearest bathroom or when, shit happens. Fear not! You're prepared.
