Kev wins BBC “Make a Difference” Award

We’re proud to recognise Kev Griffiths, founder of Cancer my Arse who has just won the BBC Make a Difference Award for Fundraising.

For Kev — who is himself a stoma user and living with a terminal cancer diagnosis — this recognition is more than personal. It amplifies his mission: to break the silence, shift perceptions, and rally people around causes too often brushed aside.

His win shines a national spotlight on the everyday realities of living with a stoma — and why dignity and support matter.

B Hygienic are committed to that same mission. Our  Male Disposal Unit provides a discreet, hygienic solution for ostomy products in men’s washrooms — helping to normalise conversations around stoma care and ensure facilities are truly inclusive.

Kev’s recognition is more than an award — it’s a reminder that every voice counts. Let’s keep pushing for awareness, dignity, and change for stoma users everywhere.

To anyone reading this who has a stoma — or knows someone who does — Kev’s achievement is a reminder that your story matters. Whether you’re quietly navigating your own path, sharing your experience, or supporting others — every voice contributes to change.

To supporters recognise the importance of dignity, inclusion, and respect. Don’t shy away from conversations about stoma care, challenges in mental health, or the need for improved support services. Push for better resources, accessibility, and compassion.

Is September the new January?

The end of summer marks a fresh start. Schools, offices, and businesses return to their regular routines after the holidays, and with this comes a renewed focus on organisation such as hygiene and facilities management.

While most businesses prioritise cleanliness and supplies, men’s washrooms often lack an important facility: disposal units. Providing hygienic disposal units in men’s washrooms isn’t just considerate—it’s essential. With growing awareness around men’s health and wellbeing, more businesses are recognising the need to make all washrooms inclusive, hygienic, and welcoming.

At B Hygienic, we’re here to support you in maintaining high standards as routines get busy again. Whether it’s fitting men’s disposal units, keeping your washrooms stocked, or providing advice, we ensure your facilities remain fresh, professional, and hygienic.

As summer draws to a close, now is the perfect time to review your washroom services and plan ahead. Why wait for the January blues- use this time to review your current arrangements.

Teal’s the Deal

Our latest innovation which you must have heard of (unless you have been in winter hibernation) is the specially designed men’s disposal unit, a product that’s turning heads not just for its practicality, but for its deep connection to a cause that affects millions—cancer awareness.

The decision to design the men’s disposal unit in teal was no accident. The colour teal is prominently associated with ovarian cancer awareness in the UK, a cause that is very close to the hearts of many. While teal’s connection to ovarian cancer is well known, we took this a step further by choosing the color to show support for all men who are affected by various forms of cancer, including prostate and bowel cancer.

Our collaboration with Cancer my Arse, a charity that advocates for stoma users, brings attention to a crucial aspect of cancer care—providing a dignified solution for stoma bag disposal in public and private washrooms.

Choosing teal as the color for the men’s disposal unit makes it stand out in any toilet, signalling its unique purpose. The colour choice is significant because it’s not only associated with a specific health cause but also serves as a visual reminder of the importance of supporting those with stomas or cancer-related medical needs. It breaks away from the traditional, neutral designs of public hygiene products, giving the unit a great look that carries meaning beyond just functionality.

Our units all display the Cancer my Arse QR code – this links directly to their website with more information about the cause. All units also show the wording ‘discrete hygiene disposal’ – this allows the user to quickly identify that there is an option for them to dispose of their waste in a dignified manner.

Stoma Friendly Toilets

Stoma users are often faced with anxiety in simply knowing where to find a suitable toilet. As the condition is ‘hidden’ they often face discrimation in using accessible toilets. It’s not difficult for business owners to incorporate small changes into their premises and they can make a huge difference for people to easily and privately manage stoma care while away from home.

Women often can use sanitary disposal units whilst men find themselves struggling to find even a waste bin.

Increasing the availability of stoma-friendly toilets can significantly improve the ability to feel part of daily life and social activities without worrying and offer the assurance that someone can manage their stoma or catheter safely and privately without compromising hygiene or dignity. The push for more stoma-friendly toilets in public spaces across the UK is about meeting physical needs and promoting a more inclusive and understanding society. Colostomy UK are a brilliant charity providing great advice, their key aim is to see Stoma friendly signage and for more to understand why these facilities are needed.

The essentials to be provided:

Hook on door – To hang clothing, handbags and luggage while changing stoma bags. This provides more space in the cubicle.
Shelf space – To enable ostomates to spread out their items easily and avoid having to use unsanitary surfaces.
Mirror – To enable users to see their stoma while changing their appliances.
Disposal bin in every cubicle – To avoid embarrassment for men and women having to dispose of their stoma bag in public view.

B Hygienic has designed a unit specifically for Male Disposal Unit in sponsorship with Cancer my Arse.

We include a complimentary bag dispenser with each unit so that the waste can be transferred hygienically.
