    Usually I get someone to hold/watch the baby for a second but I have paid a visit to the little girls room while babywearing before. You just make sure everything's tucked up and doesn't get in the toilet. Not much of a problem, especially with the Ergo.

    I've gone to the bathroom while wearing K in the ergo, the peanut shell, the mei tai and our ring sling. 

    Just make sure you know where any extra fabric/straps are, and it's pretty easy.

    I go to the bathroom while I'm wearing him in the Boba.  We were just at Disney World and I did got some very strange looks when I would walk out of a stall still wearing him..lol.

    I've gone while wearing DS in the RS many times.

    I don't have an Ergo ... we currently have a sprout pouch and I just ordered a mai tei style carrier ... anyway, everytime I need to use the restroom and the little man is in the carrier I just do it while I'm wearing him and I work around the sling.  He doesn't really seem to care/notice and he has severe separation anxiety (has since 4 months) so if I were to leave him with anyone but dad or the nanny he would totally freak out.  It's just easier for us if I don't pee alone.  LOL

    I just go to the bathroom, and be mindful of straps/cloth/etc.

    I was peeing the other day, and DD was very interested in the sound, so I just explained to her that Mommy was urinating, and that I couldn't go in a diaper like she could, I had to use a grown up potty. If she just heard the peanuts teacher, eh... she'll learn eventually!

    I use the bathroom wearing the ergo. I have to say, compared to a ring sling or a mei tai, I think it's a little harder to use the bathroom while wearing an ergo in a front carry. Just because the front of the ergo comes down and covers my button and zipper so it's awkward to undo and redo my pants. But it's not impossible.

    I have done the deed while wearing DS in the front.  Not my first choice but it has happened.
