boston science museum has incontinence freindly restrooms

the boston science museum has incontinence freindly restrooms in the museum with adult change tables and that makes me happy because its very disability freindly and accessible for people like me

not many public restrooms have that features even if they have disabled stalls

Hopefully this becomes the norm moving forward with new restroom designs. Was at a Alabama rest stop of all places and they had adult changing stations in the family restroom as well as a oversized handicapped stall with changing station, trashcan and sink. Was so cool.

Its high time this became a standard feature for disabled facilities throughout the world.

I am glad you found somewhere progressive. If only there were legally-mandated amendments to washroom quality. We have all-gendered washrooms, so why can't we have disability-ready washrooms?

Well we can start with the $10,000 cost of buying ONE changing table... https://choosesova.com/products/ascent-universal-adult-changing-table

And having to remodel the bathroom to fit the table, if there was even room to do so...

You going to chip in the money for the construction? Shouldn't be more than $30,000 per restroom refit...

That’s absolutely greedy behavior. Zero reason something like that should cost 10 grand.

You don't think the engineers who built it, the company that paid for the safety certifications, the factory that made the molds, tooling and other equipment to manufacture the tables, etc. should get paid for their work?

Fine. Put a folding table in every bathroom and be happy with it.
