It’s a poo thing!
When we set up Rackety’s I was on a mission to make quality
products available for a long neglected group of people and families who need
adaptive clothing.
I had clear plans to take on the healthcare market and
change the accepted standard of design and presentation of products for
families and children with disabilities. What a gloomy dated place it was!!!
Thankfully the tide was turning and although there is still
a long way to go, we are very proud to have contributed towards a change of
attitude to what is acceptable for a healthcare product.
Being inexperienced I thought that adaptive clothing automatically
went with wheelchair use and that this would be my core customer base.
I just didn’t know about “The poo thing” I was like most of
the world that are unaffected- blissfully ignorant.
These days it’s a different story it turns out our core
business is based around poo wee stripping and dipping and I have become
something of an expert in the field.
It has also set me off on another mission to make sure all
families new to “a poo situation” understand they are not alone- it is very
common and there is help available.
We are gathering “poo stories” from our customers so we can
create a small book to help families who suddenly have a problem understand how
common it is.
Some of the tales we here are funny and some of them are quite
dreadful- why not send us your story to help other families.
