In recent years our lives have been transformed by technology, and the Just Can’t Wait Toilet Card is just one way in which we have been able to help. The Card provides an essential way to help get to a toilet at short notice, offering a discreet way to convey an urgent need, without any fuss. Since the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns (now a distant memory!) it has become apparent just how important public toilet facilities are and how many people rely on these vital services to go about their daily lives.
We’re proud to share that we now have over 270,000 Just Can’t Wait Cards in circulation. That means that each day, this small but important card is being used in shops, pubs, restaurants and public spaces in order to save thousands of people from embarrassment.
We have been providing the Original Just Can’t Wait Card for over 10 years now, with over 270,000 cards issued. The card has been described by many as a ‘lifeline’ and providing peace of mind; and while some people still don’t understand what it’s like to live with a bladder or bowel condition, we are slowly reducing the stigma. We know that the more that people use the card, the more businesses and staff are exposed to the issues that so many people face, every day.
Public toilets are in danger of closing in many high streets due to the high costs associated with maintaining, cleaning and refurbishing them. Councils are now turning towards businiesses with existing facilities to help in many boroughs in the UK. The impact on people is huge. Simply knowing you can get to a toilet is extremely valuable.
Below are just some comments from community memebrs on how the Just Can’t Wait Card has helped them.

If you are a business and would like to help, find out more about our Toilet Scheme which offers support and guidance on how you can help customers in need.
For people living with a bladder and/or bowel condition, we recommend that you put together a toilet kit and follow these basic guidelines:
- Be alert, minimise what you touch with your hands
- Carry your own personal toilet kit (toilet rolls, paper towels, hand sanitizer)
- Close the toilet seat before flushing to avoid contamination within a small space
- Avoid hand dryers. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly with paper towels as per Government guidelines (20 seconds)
- Carry your Just Can’t Wait Card at all times
