We need your support

It has long been a standard (indeed, legislation) that female cubicles must have a means of disposing of sanitary products, there is no such requirement for men’s washrooms.

Although 1 in 3 men over the age of 65 suffer from incontinence and it is an unfortunate side-effect of prostate cancer (suffered by almost 500,000 men across the UK), there is seldom any means of disposing of pads, bags etc in male toilets.

Many men must reluctantly use the disabled toilets or leave waste products behind on the floor, use standard waste bins, or even carry them home.

 

To help break the stigma surrounding these conditions, we have launched our Male Hygiene Bin which is designed specifically for male toilets.

 

As part of our partnership, we will be providing and maintaining these bins with

100% of the customer charge going to the Cancer Focus NI charity *

 

By supporting NI Washrooms and the #boysneedbins campaign, you will be providing for those in need, increasing your profile, and supporting the vital work of Cancer Focus NI who provide counselling and support groups for local men living with prostate cancer.

BE PROSTATE CANCER AWARE

 

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. Men who are Black, and men who have a family history (a brother or father with prostate cancer), are 2.5 x more likely to get prostate cancer.

•  Painful or burning urination

•  Difficulty in having an erection
