Are Your Men's Washrooms Missing Something?

Many organisations provide hygiene bins in female washrooms as standard. But what about male washrooms?

It's a simple question, yet one that is becoming increasingly relevant as awareness around male incontinence and accessible washroom facilities continues to grow.

For many businesses, public venues, and workplaces, the facilities available within washrooms can have a direct impact on user comfort, dignity, and accessibility.

The Numbers Behind The Conversation

Male incontinence is far more common than many people realise.

1 in 3 men over the age of 65 will experience urinary incontinence.
1 in 20 men over the age of 60 will experience bowel incontinence.
Research indicates that 27% of men aged 55 and over living with urinary incontinence have reduced or stopped attending live events and public spaces because suitable facilities are not available.

These figures highlight a growing need for more inclusive washroom facilities across workplaces, public buildings, hospitality venues, sports facilities, and leisure environments.

Washroom Hygiene Influences Visitor Perception

Washrooms often leave a lasting impression on visitors, customers, and employees.

People naturally associate the condition of washroom facilities with the wider cleanliness and professionalism of the business itself.

Clean and well-maintained facilities help create a more positive experience while supporting the overall presentation of the environment.

Poorly maintained washrooms, on the other hand, can quickly affect how a workplace, hospitality venue, or commercial premises is perceived.

The Standard Is Changing

We’re seeing rapid adoption across councils, sports venues and businesses throughout the UK. Jersey has already passed legislation making male hygiene bins a legal requirement, and a UK-wide mandate is actively being pursued.

Venues and businesses that act now are ahead of the curve. Those that don't are increasingly becoming the outlier.
