NO MORE PRESSING AFFAIRS: There 's a wearable that will tell you in advance when you need to visit the John.

For those who want to know when to go, in advance of any bodily forewarnings, there's a new wearable in the works.

With D Free, those who need additional time would have as much as 10 minutes, according to Rocket News 24, who spotted the story.

Called D Free, the device is worn against the abdomen, where it listens to your gut and notifies you of how much time you have to find a bathroom on a corresponding app.

The system learns your patterns, so your feces forecast gets increasingly accurate with time and the app records your toilet-using history.

It's not a joke, the start-up behind D Free hopes to improve quality of life for the elderly, disabled or those who have lost control of their bowels.

According to Mashable, start-up Triple W will be launching an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the wearable. — AFP/RelaxNews
