New research from Initial Washroom Hygiene reveals that half of male incontinence sufferers are afraid to leave their homes. For many of these sufferers, inadequate facilities in public washrooms - including those at places of work – are preventing them from living a normal life.
The research is part of the company’s new nationwide campaign - ‘Stalls for All’ - that aims to deliver ‘washroom dignity’ for everyone and ensure that people have access to the washroom facilities they need. This first phase of the campaign sees the washroom hygiene company partner with charity Bladder & Bowel UK to raise awareness of the challenges male incontinence sufferers - estimated to be around one in three older men - face.
The research reveals that fewer than just a fifth (17%) of men have facilities in their place of work to dispose of sanitary waste in male washrooms, highlighting a severe lack of support from businesses.
