Why "Boys Need Bins" in Worcestershire
Ian Smith, 64, wrote to organisations to highlight how gents loos lack anywhere to hygienically bin incontinence products.
Following radiotherapy and hormone treatment he now suffers from bowel incontinence and wears adult nappies.
Nationally, a "Boys Need Bins" campaign is calling for a change in the law, to make sanitary bins compulsory.
"Because of my treatment, I suffered damage to my bowels and rectum and that's made me sometimes bowel incontinent," said Mr Smith, who was first diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2022.
Although he had been having PSA (prostate-specific antigen) tests regularly, this precaution was disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
By the time his cancer had been identified it had spread to his rectum and is now incurable.
