What's New?
Bladder & Bowel UK have free, downloadable resources on the website for you, your family, or carers to access. We are currently expanding our online resources and will be keeping you informed about any updated or new information leaflets that are added to the website.
Resources
In our children’s resources area under toilet training, you will see there is an updated version of the Toilet Training: A Skill Development Programme document.
Many families are anxious about toilet training. However, for those whose children have developmental or learning disabilities this milestone may seem unobtainable. However, clinical experience shows that most children can learn the skills needed for toilet training and can successfully become clean and dry.

New Enquiries
Bladder & Bowel UK receive several enquiries, regarding the use of ‘Continence Products during Menstruation’. We thought it might be helpful to put together an information leaflet which talks about:
How continence products work. How sanitary protection differs form a continence product. Some suggestions to help the decision about whether to use sanitary protection inside a continence product. Additional Information.
To access more information, please visit:

We have an additional two new resources on Continence Products, which can be found in both the adult and children’s resource area:
‘How to Get the Best out of Continence Products’ ‘Disposable Products to Contain Incontinence’.
Both these resources have practical advice and helpful information and includes information on:
Where you buy products from and top up supplies. NHS product provision explained. Change in need, or the product no longer works. Storage, fitting the product, types of products and other helpful tips. Changing and disposal of used products.
