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.
