Great article, and something that isn't discussed enough.

Just been told that I might have to wait another seven months to be assessed for TAI - it's already been six months! And apparently, I'm on the priority list. I hate to think how long it would take for someone not deemed a priority.

Very impresssive! Just goes to show that bowel problems don't mean you have to give up on your goals. bristolpost.co.uk/news/real-…
Quite frankly, it's ridiculous that this just doesn't happen already.

Mayo Clinic researchers have found new evidence linking the millions of bacteria residing in our digestive systems, known as the microbiome, to a network of factors that drive irritable bowel syndrome, #IBS. Learn more: mayocl.in/3t2LPio
I'm convinced that the brief of the designers of all loo roll holders for public toilets is to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to extract toilet roll from them.
Good article in the Guardian today about the lack of public toilets: theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

I really get this - I'm highly active, work, and am a trustee of two charities, and whilst I technically count as disabled, claiming that I am often feels a bit wrong (regardless of what my consultant says!). theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Just been sent this really useful link - loos open during lockdown. lockdownloo.com/
I can't quite believe that Hartmann Direct want to charge £5 for a single sample! I don't mind payng for samples - say £1 or £2, but when the unit cost is c.90p when bought as part of a pack, £5 is just outrageous!

Thank you @BBCWomansHour for breaking the stigma of adult incontinence.
The more we talk about the differing causes & treatment options, the more it becomes easier for the public to seek help & then feel confident in themselves.
This morning we discussed faecal incontinence after childbirth, and tomorrow we will be discussing solutions. Listen to Sophie's story here: bbc.in/33tS4ft
The state of the disabled loo at Trevone beach this afternoon. Who does this?! @CornwallCouncil, you need to get on this please.
I like the design of @AttendsUK Active Slips, but the quality control is awful. Time for me to give up on them - fed up with non-sticky tapes, straps that pull off, and the final straw is velcro tabs positioned on my crotch instead of the waistband.
OK, @BristolCouncil, @BristolWaste when are we going to get this in Bristol?

Urgh. The hot weather's great in many ways, but I had forgotten how horrible wearing a nappy is when it's hot.
This is really important - so few places provide bins in men's loos at all, let alone in each cubicle.
We're helping this brewery chain to tackle the stigma around male incontinence and provide the right facilities for men in washrooms.
It's important that men also have a discreet disposal solution in their washroom environment too.
