With 3.2 million British adults in hygiene poverty, many are ashamed to go to work because they cannot afford soap and deodorant.
Hygiene Bank, which conducted the research with YouGov, revealed that 12 percent of the 3.2 million Brits had avoided facing colleagues as a result of this.
According to Hygiene Bank CEO Ruth Brock, the situation is more widespread than feared, it's increasing, and disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable.
She pointed out that by the time people are not switching on their heating or are going to a food bank, they’ve stopped buying essential hygiene products weeks before.
The report says that people in hygiene poverty were most likely to go without shaving products, deodorant, washing powder, and other cleaning products.
