Our Origins

Welcome to Schnikeez, and thanks for being here.

This initiative started in 2018, when I was forced to confront my own digestive disorder. That experience became the push behind creating Schnikeez for anyone dealing with urgent bowel incontinence (UBI), sudden, intense, completely unpredictable bowel urgency that can make normal life feel like a constant gamble.

When you can’t reliably “hold it,” travel becomes a silent race against the clock: scanning for bathrooms, mapping exits, and hoping you make it. And sometimes… you don’t. When I looked for solutions, most of what I found was diapers and liners or funny gag gifts masking the issue. For many of us, that’s not the route we want.

So I built something more practical and discreet: an emergency travel bathroom kit designed for real life to help you stay prepared, protect your dignity, and move through the world with more confidence.

Schnikeez is here for people managing Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, IBS/IBD symptoms, post-surgery changes, medication side effects, or any condition where bowel urgency isn’t negotiable.

Peace of mind shouldn’t be a luxury. You deserve to leave the house without fear running the show.

The Original Concept

Before Schnikeez was a real kit, it was just a rough concept, built around one goal: be ready fast, without making it obvious what it’s for.

This early layout shows the DNA of the product: a simple grab-and-go setup with two sides, one for cleanup and one for containment, so you’re not digging through a bag when seconds matter.
