Kleenex® wants to help Aussies get comfortable about what's left in the loo. Everybody poos so how can something that all 8 billion of us do, be something that many of us are embarrassed by? We're asking the nation to break the taboo around checking your poo.
We've partnered with Bowel Cancer Australia to help Australian's develop a better understanding of their poo, the symptoms of bowel cancer and the importance of early detection, because when diagnosed early almost 99 percent of cases can be successfully treated1!
Bowel Cancer Australia is dedicated to championing what matters most to people impacted by bowel cancer and empowering everyone affected to live their best life.
The charity is committed to challenging perceptions, overcoming barriers, and creating meaningful change across the care continuum through advocacy, awareness, and integrated research to improve access to personalised treatments and patient-centred care.
