I am trying to help my friend who is in a wheelchair choose some STYLISH trousers which will be easy to get in and out of and have lots of roominess around the waist. She is goiing to be having either some catheter which will be in pubic area and therefore quite tender,or else a urostomy, which I don't really know much about. She is 40 and has suffered the indignity of gradually losing her physical ability over the past few years and now because she can't manage transferring to to loo from wheelchair she requires this treatment. So it is im portant to find some lovely trousers to make life a bit more bearable. It is heartbreaking and I just want to help in some frivolous way !

There is a new clothing company that has just been set up for women who are in wheelchairs. I saw it being advertised on This Morning recently and was impressed with what I saw.
