Today, platforms at three London Underground stations have been transformed to promote Fybogel and its mission to help break the cycle of constipation for millions of people across the UK. This weekend, roundels on the Tube platforms at Shepherd’s Bush, Waterloo and Seven Sisters will become… Shepherd’s Flush, Waterloo roll and Seven Cisterns.
The campaign by Fybogel aims to help Brits keep their ‘tubes’ regular and make the most out of life on the move* by educating them on the benefits of maintaining regularity when it comes to constipation.
According to research conducted by Bowel and Cancer Research in 2019, over a third of all adults surveyed said they would find it embarrassing to talk about bowel problems with their GP2. With one in seven otherwise healthy adults affected by constipation millions of people are suffering with constipation3 every day from mild to severe symptoms, many in silence1.
If left untreated, constipation can result in severe symptoms, including faecal impaction4. In fact, in research conducted by Reckitt in 2019 among 5,467 UK adults, those who identified as frequent constipation sufferers were more likely to experience a higher prevalence of symptoms, which might include difficulty having bowel movements, hard or small stools, bloating and a feeling of heaviness.1
Through this campaign, which aims to get people talking about this taboo topic, Fybogel is hoping to reduce the stigma and provide meaningful education. Fybogel hopes to empower constipation sufferers to banish embarrassment and take an effective approach to maintaining regularity, and enjoy life without the constraints of constipation symptoms, which could include a lack of energy, feeling sick and stomach cramps.1
When it comes to constipation, many people don’t know or understand what the symptoms are and put off addressing concerns:
Common symptoms of constipation4:
- Passing fewer than 3 stools per week
- Dry, hard or lumpy stools
- Unusually large or small stools that can be difficult to push out
- Having a stomach-aches and feeling bloated
- Feeling sick
- Loss of appetite
