When we have a baby or child who wears a diaper and we go out for a walk with him, we mothers have many options to change him if he gets dirty, because in most bathrooms of many establishments we can find changing tables to do so. However, in the case of parents, it is not so.
Therefore, in alliance with singer John Legend, the company of Koala Kare and Donte Palmer, the father who went viral last year by denouncing the absence of changers in male toilets, Pampers promised to install 5,000 changers in the United States and Canada by 2021.
Through a humorous video, which features John Legend (husband of Chrissy Teigen, one of our favorite famous mothers) and other parents showing the adventures they must do in order to change the diaper of their babies, the company Pampers announced that the denunciation of hundreds of parents will be supported: the lack of changing rooms in the men's bathrooms.
And how will he do it? Installing 5,000 baby changing rooms in men's restrooms throughout the United States and Canada, committing to finish doing it by the year 2021. This arises thanks to the famous complaint made by a father in Florida and which we echoed last year: "Didn't parents exist?".
Through a post on his Instagram account, Donte Palmer He showed how tired he was of having to resort to awkward postures in public restrooms so he could change his baby's diaper. After his publication went viral, he launched a social media campaign to demand the installation of changing rooms in men's bathrooms.
Of course, he is not the only father who has raised his voice on this subject. Another father reported on social networks how tired he was of changing his baby on the dirty floor of a public restroom and a few years ago, actor Ashton Kutcher also denounced that he could never find a baby changing table in men's restrooms.
In Babies and moreBecause they also change diapers: more baby changing rooms in men's bathroomsFortunately, the demands that all these parents have made and the impact they have had on social networks, have helped this type of initiatives, which while not new or recent, they are finally getting the attention they deserve.
In New York, for example, thanks to a new law, male toilets must have accessible baby changing tables, while in Spain, Galicia plans to be the first autonomous community that will force the installation of baby changing tables in men's public restrooms.
As we have ever said: they also change diapers, and thanks to the demands of hundreds of parents (or thousands!), Finally initiatives such as Pampers and new law proposals made by lawmakers, are driving equality and meeting an important need for millions of families: that we all have hygienic, comfortable and accessible facilities to change our babies in public places.
