Tidy Pal the portable hook system nominated for prestigious award

March 25, 2012 - PRLog -- Ostomy Lifestyle is a UK based charity offering support and training to people with stomas and promoting excellence in care and equipment. Their annual Underwear & Swimwear show promotes a positive attitude towards stomas both for those living with one and the general public.  http://www.ostomylifestyle.org/content/awards

Competition, even to be on the short list, is intense and Tidy Pal is delighted to be selected. The inventor of Tidy Pal, Michael Wood commented, “After diagnosis with Colon cancer in 2010 I had an Ileostomy and quickly discovered that the most difficult thing to cope with was the lack of hooks and other adequate facilities in rest rooms and public toilets. Needing a secure place to hang clothes and bags made me look hard not only at the lack of facilities but at the state of floors; makes me cringe to think that I too had put bags down without thought for hygiene”

“I was delighted to find many non Ostomates wanting their own Tidy Pal for all kinds of reasons, hygiene, obviously, parents with baby and changing bags, skiers with skis and wet floors, party goers fed up with losing stuff in that heap on a spare room bed. Nomination for the Ostomy lifestyle award is exciting. They are an organization that does so much to promote Stoma is Normal and I’m gratified to be given a chance to join in that message.”
