Dress to impress

The focus for this year’s National Continence Week was making it easier for people to get to the toilet. Many people have continence problems because they have trouble getting to the loo quickly enough, or they find their clothes too much of a fiddle. PromoCon, the organisation leading the awareness week, has launched a new fashion award to promote fashionable clothes adapted for people with disabilities.

Our challenge to designers is to come up with clothes that everyone would want to wear, but which take into account the practical issues of living with a disability, said June Rogers, director of PromoCon. To support the campaign a new leaflet has been produced by the Continence Foundation.
