Let’s put things into perspective
The importance of supporting male incontinence in sports goes beyond the athletes on the field and the supporters in the stands, its about a fundamental aspect of inclusivity and accessibility in a sporting environment. Women have access to sanitary disposal facilities, so why should it be any different for men?
For players and athletes, male incontinence provisions mean competing at their best without the added stress or discomfort of managing incontinence. For fans and visitors, it ensures that attending live events remains a joyous, worry-free experience, where the focus is on supporting their favourite teams rather than worrying about how they will dispose of their incontinence waste.
This approach to inclusivity not only enhances the experience, the well-being and dignity of men directly affected by incontinence, but also fosters a more welcoming a supportive atmosphere across the sporting community. Remember, incontinence can happen at any age.
1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, rising to 1 in 4 in black men. With an average of 12 million male spectators for the Premier League football games every year, we estimate that 1.375 million of these men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. This number isn’t just a number on a scorecard; it’s a wakeup call to take action.
2 in 5 men (44%) said they feel anxious about using public toilets.*
