Cardiff Rugby is proud to announce the installation of sanitary bins in all male toilets at the Cardiff Arms Park.
This initiative, which is undertaken in partnership with Pyramid Hygiene and supported by Prostate Cancer UK, is aimed at supporting male incontinence, an often-overlooked and taboo health challenge.
With 3-6 million people in the UK experiencing some degree of urinary incontinence, this is the latest initiative to make the iconic Arms Park a more inclusive and supportive environment for all visitors.
Male incontinence, which can affect men of all ages but is more common in those over 40 or recovering from prostate cancer treatments, is often shrouded in stigma.
Cardiff Rugby aims to break this taboo by providing facilities that ensure comfort and dignity for everyone attending matches and events.
Jamie Muir, Cardiff Rugby Chief Operating Officer, said: “Cardiff Rugby is proud to take this step in partnership with Pyramid Hygiene.
“This initiative demonstrates our commitment to inclusivity and our desire to make Cardiff Arms Park as welcoming and accessible as possible. We hope this encourages more open conversations about male health issues while providing the facilities needed to support our fans.”
Prostate Cancer UK estimates that 1 in 8 men will develop prostate cancer, with treatments sometimes leading to urinary or bowel incontinence.
