Stoma-friendly toilets
A stoma-friendly toilet is not a luxury...
...it's a necessity.
Living with an ostomy
For most people, using a public toilet is a simple matter.
For those living with an ostomy, it can be much more complicated.
Traditional bathrooms are not enough
Emptying or changing a bag requires space, hygiene, privacy, and suitable support surfaces.
Features that are rarely available in a conventional public restroom.
Dignity
No one should be forced to seek improvised or unhygienic solutions.
A dedicated bathroom allows people with ostomies to manage their ostomy safely, privately, and with dignity.
Hygiene
A properly designed environment improves hygienic conditions and makes using the bathroom safer for everyone.
It is a benefit for the individual and for society.
Autonomy
Knowing that you can find a suitable bathroom means being able to travel, work, shop and participate in everyday life with greater peace of mind.
Accessibility also means freedom.
The impact on well-being
Feeling safe outside the home is fundamental to dignity and social participation.
Access to suitable facilities reduces isolation and allows people with ostomies to lead an active and peaceful life.
A choice for inclusion
Creating a bathroom specifically for people living with an ostomy means making public spaces more accessible and welcoming.
Because inclusion is also built through small gestures that make a big difference.
