According to a random double opt-in survey of 2,000 adults in the UK conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Essity, millions of people are unable to sleep, use the stairs, exercise, or endure a long car ride because of constant discomfort and debilitating pain, with 52% of the respondents reporting that they are experiencing some kind of regular physical pain like backaches, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes or skin conditions.
35% of the respondents report that they are not able to exercise comfortably and 3 in 10 say that they are not even able to get a full night of sleep due to physical pain. 23% say that walking up stairs can prove to be an almost impossible task, and 1 in 5 admit that they need help to get up off of the sofa. Everyday tasks like sitting on the floor, soaking in the tub, attending long meetings, reading, watching TV, and being away from home for an extended period of time are also hurdles for many of the respondents.
