Unfortunately for many, nature often calls at inopportune moments.

In particular those who travel by car are often faced with the dilemma of driving many uncomfortable miles before a rest area or public rest room is in site.

For those who travel with children, this problem is all the more troublesome, as many toddlers and preschoolers simply do not possess the ability to wait until Mom or Dad can pull over at a rest stop.

For the estimated twenty million who suffer from physical medical conditions that result in incontinence, bladder control is an ever-present issue.

In fact, according to Urology Forum, an Internet based health community; this problem is especially prevalent in middle aged and older women.

As troublesome as it may seem, many accidents occur when distracted drivers rush through changing lights, breeze through stop signs or disregard traffic, all in order to reach a rest room.
