Morrisons is teaming up with the NHS to put cancer awareness messages on nine own‑brand bath and shower products, urging shoppers to “Be body aware” and “Know the signs of cancer.” The labels encourage people to notice what’s normal for their bodies and to contact their GP practice if they spot anything unusual. The range will appear in about 450 Morrisons stores and online from May.

Professor Peter Johnson, National Clinical Director for Cancer at NHS England, said the campaign aims to turn a daily routine into a simple health reminder. He asked people to get in touch with their GP if they notice lumps, swelling, skin changes or anything else that doesn’t look or feel right while bathing. “In most cases it won’t be cancer, but if it is, finding it early can make all the difference,” he added.

The supermarket campaign is the first to carry cancer awareness messages on bath and shower packaging as part of an NHS effort to help more people spot possible symptoms earlier and come forward for checks.

Two cancer survivors featured in the launch shared why the messages matter. Ed, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer after noticing pain and having tests in 2024, had surgery and a short course of chemotherapy and was clear within three months. He is now an ambassador for Movember and said reminders on everyday items such as shower gel can help people check themselves in private and not be embarrassed to seek help.

Stacey found a lump in her armpit in 2019 but delayed getting checked until a colleague encouraged her to see a GP in 2020. She was diagnosed with breast cancer, underwent chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, and was cancer free by the end of that year. Stacey said regular self‑checks help you learn what’s normal for your body and make it easier to spot changes early.

Products carrying the messages include items such as Muscle Soothe Sea Minerals Bath Soak, Tingly Mint Shower Gel and Lavender and Water Lily Herbal Bath. The campaign highlights symptoms people might notice while washing, such as lumps or swelling anywhere on the body, skin changes, unexplained pain, aches or bruising.

Other signs to watch for include persistent heartburn, indigestion or bloating; changes in bowel or bladder habits; unexplained bleeding (from the bottom, in poo, in urine, after the menopause or after sex); heavy night sweats; unusual tiredness; and a hoarse voice or a cough that doesn’t improve.

Public Health Minister Sharon Hodgson called the partnership a simple but powerful way to make potentially life‑saving advice part of daily routines. David Scott, Corporate Affairs Director at Morrisons, said the supermarket is proud to help the NHS reach customers and encourage them to get checked early.

The initiative follows Morrisons’ 2023 campaign, when the retailer and the NHS placed breast and testicular cancer advice on Nutmeg underwear to prompt people to contact their GP if they noticed symptoms.

If you notice anything that doesn’t feel right or you are concerned it could be cancer, contact your GP practice for advice and assessment.

Morrisons has teamed up with the NHS to put cancer awareness messages on nine own‑brand bath and shower products, encouraging shoppers to check their bodies while they bathe. The labels, which say things like ‘Be body aware’ and ‘Know the signs of cancer’, will start appearing in about 450 stores and online in May.

The initiative is intended to turn an everyday routine into a simple reminder to notice lumps, swelling, skin changes or unexplained bruising and to contact a GP if something seems wrong. NHS National Clinical Director for Cancer Professor Peter Johnson says the campaign aims to help people recognise what is normal for them so potential signs can be spotted earlier. He notes that most changes will not be cancer, but earlier detection can make a crucial difference when it is.

Two survivors featured in the campaign share why early attention matters. Ed, who was 27 when he first felt a dull ache in his right testicle in 2024, sought help after the pain worsened. Tests confirmed testicular cancer; after surgery and a short course of chemotherapy he was told he was cancer free within three months. Ed now works with Movember to encourage men to get checked and says messaging on shower products is a discreet, effective prompt to check yourself regularly.

Stacey first noticed a lump in her armpit in 2019 but delayed seeking help because she felt too young to be at risk. A colleague urged her to see a doctor in early 2020; further tests led to a breast cancer diagnosis. She started treatment quickly, with chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, and was cancer free by the end of that year. Stacey emphasizes the importance of getting used to your normal body and acting on any change.

Products carrying the messages include Muscle Soothe Sea Minerals and Sage Extracts Bath Soak, Tingly Mint Shower Gel and Lavender and Water Lily Herbal Bath, among others in Morrisons’ own range. Symptoms people might notice while washing include lumps or swellings anywhere on the body, visible skin changes, unexplained pain, persistent aches or bruising.

The campaign also reminds people of other warning signs that may not be visible in the bath or shower, such as persistent heartburn or indigestion, ongoing bloating, changes in bowel or bladder habits, unusual bleeding (from the bottom, in poo, in urine, after sex or after menopause), heavy night sweats, unexplained tiredness, a hoarse or croaky voice, or a cough that does not improve.

Public Health Minister Sharon Hodgson welcomed the partnership as a simple but powerful way to help people spot cancer earlier by making health advice part of everyday life. David Scott, Corporate Affairs Director at Morrisons, said the retailer is proud to help the NHS reach customers and encourage prompt checks, which can lead to earlier treatment and save lives.

This effort follows Morrisons’ 2023 collaboration with the NHS, when breast and testicular cancer advice was printed on Nutmeg underwear to encourage people to seek GP advice if they noticed possible symptoms.

If you notice something that does not feel right in your body and you are worried it could be cancer, contact your GP practice. Early assessment is the best way to find out what is causing a change and, if needed, begin treatment promptly.

Morrisons has partnered with the NHS to put simple cancer awareness messages on a new range of its own-brand bath and shower products, urging shoppers to get to know their bodies and contact their GP if something feels wrong.

Nine products in the new range will carry short prompts such as be body aware and know the signs of cancer. The items, which include bath soaks and shower gels, will begin appearing in around 450 Morrisons stores and online in May.

Professor Peter Johnson, National Clinical Director for Cancer at NHS England, says the idea is to turn a daily routine into a quick health reminder. He notes that noticing lumps, swelling, skin changes or unexplained bruising while washing could prompt earlier GP contact. In most cases these changes are not cancer, but when cancer is present, earlier detection can make a big difference.

The campaign follows a successful 2023 collaboration in which Morrisons featured breast and testicular cancer advice on Nutmeg underwear. This new supermarket-first initiative brings similar advice to commonly used bathroom products to reach people in the privacy of their own homes.

Two cancer survivors who have become advocates for awareness shared their experiences. Ed, who was 27 when he first felt a dull ache in a testicle in 2024, sought medical help after the pain worsened. A blood test and ultrasound led to a diagnosis of testicular cancer. After surgery and a short course of chemotherapy he was cancer free within three months. Ed now works with men’s health charity Movember and supports the campaign, saying that reminders on everyday items like shower gel can encourage private, routine checks and reduce embarrassment about seeking help.

Stacey first noticed a lump in her armpit in 2019 but initially thought she was too young to worry. Prompted by a colleague to see her GP, she was later diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. Following chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, she was cancer free by the end of that year. Stacey says regular self-checks helped her become familiar with what is normal and that finding changes early is key.

Products involved in the campaign include items such as Muscle Soothe Sea Minerals and Sage Extracts Bath Soak, Tingly Mint Shower Gel, and Lavender and Water Lily Herbal Bath, all featuring the body awareness messages on their packaging.

Symptoms people might notice while washing include a lump or swelling anywhere on the body, changes to the skin, unexplained pain, persistent aches, or bruising without a clear cause. Other signs to be aware of are ongoing heartburn, indigestion or bloating; changes in bowel or bladder habits; unexpected bleeding (from the bottom, in poo, in urine, after menopause or after sex); heavy night sweats; persistent tiredness; and a hoarse voice or cough that does not improve.

Public Health Minister Sharon Hodgson described the partnership as a simple but powerful way to encourage body awareness by placing prompts on products used daily by millions of people. David Scott, Corporate Affairs Director at Morrisons, said the supermarket is proud to work with the NHS to help customers spot symptoms early and reach out to their GP when something does not feel right.

When the pain sharpened months later he sought tests and was diagnosed with testicular cancer following a blood test and ultrasound. After surgery and a short course of chemotherapy, Ed was told he was cancer free within three months. He now works with Movember to encourage men to check themselves and seek medical advice without embarrassment.

Ed said that having NHS reminders on shower products is a private, practical prompt to check for symptoms such as testicular changes that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Stacey discovered a lump in her armpit in 2019 but thought she was too young to worry. A Morrisons colleague encouraged her to see a GP, and in February 2020 she was referred for tests and diagnosed with breast cancer. She began chemotherapy within six weeks, followed by a lumpectomy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, and was cancer free by December 2020. Stacey now regularly checks her body and advises others to get to know their normal so they can spot changes early.

The campaign highlights symptoms that might be noticed while washing, including lumps or swelling anywhere on the body, skin changes, unexplained pain, aches or bruising. It also lists other signs people should be aware of: persistent heartburn, indigestion or bloating; changes in bowel or bladder habits; bleeding from the bottom, in poo or wee, after the menopause, or after sex; excessive night sweating; increased tiredness; and a croaky voice or persistent cough.

She received chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, and was cancer free by the end of that year. Stacey now checks regularly and advises others to become familiar with their normal so they notice any changes sooner.

Symptoms people might spot while washing include a new lump or swelling anywhere on the body, changes to the skin, or unexplained pain, aches or bruising. Other possible warning signs to discuss with a GP are persistent heartburn, indigestion or bloating; changes in bowel or bladder habits; unexpected bleeding (from the bottom, in poo, in urine, after sex, or after menopause); night sweats; unusual tiredness; and a persistent or worsening cough or hoarse voice.

Public Health Minister Sharon Hodgson said placing reminders on products used daily is a simple but powerful way to encourage body awareness, and praised the collaboration between the NHS and business to help people live healthier lives. David Scott, Corporate Affairs Director at Morrisons, said the supermarket is proud to partner with the NHS to raise awareness and encourage customers to seek medical advice early.

This initiative follows Morrisons’ 2023 campaign with the NHS that featured breast and testicular cancer advice on Nutmeg underwear. As with that earlier work, the new packaging is intended to reach people in everyday settings and prompt them to contact their GP practice if they notice anything that might be a sign of cancer.

If you notice a change that doesn’t feel normal for your body, contact your GP practice. Early assessment can help rule out minor causes and, where necessary, lead to earlier treatment.

Morrisons has teamed up with the NHS to print cancer-awareness messages on a new range of own‑brand bath and shower products, encouraging shoppers to check their bodies and contact their GP if something doesn’t feel right.

Nine products in the range will carry messages such as “Be body aware” and “Know the signs of cancer.” The items — which include Muscle Soothe Sea Minerals and Sage Extracts Bath Soak, Tingly Mint Shower Gel and Lavender and Water Lily Herbal Bath — will appear in around 450 Morrisons stores and online from May.

Professor Peter Johnson, NHS England’s National Clinical Director for Cancer, said the campaign is intended to turn an everyday routine into a prompt for a simple health check: if you notice a lump, swelling, skin change or unexplained bruising while washing, contact your GP practice. He stressed that most findings will not be cancer, but that earlier detection can make a big difference.

The initiative is a supermarket first for bath and shower packaging and follows Morrisons’ 2023 collaboration with the NHS to feature breast and testicular cancer advice on Nutmeg underwear.

Two survivors who support the campaign shared their experiences. Ed, 27, discovered a dull ache in his testicle in 2024 that became sharper over time. After tests he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, had surgery and a short course of chemotherapy, and was declared cancer free within three months. He now works with Movember to encourage men to seek checks when they notice changes.

Ed said having reminders on shower products is a private, effective way to prompt body checks, particularly for conditions like testicular cancer that can be easily missed. He urged people not to be embarrassed about seeking advice — it could be nothing, but it’s always worth checking.

Stacey first felt a lump in her armpit in 2019 but thought she was too young to worry. A colleague encouraged her to see a GP in early 2020; further tests led to a breast cancer diagnosis. She began chemotherapy within weeks, followed by surgery, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, and was cancer free by the end of that year. Stacey now regularly checks her body and encourages others to learn what is normal for them so they can spot changes early.

Symptoms people might notice while washing include any new lump or swelling, skin changes, unexplained pain, aches or bruising. Other signs to be aware of are persistent heartburn, indigestion or bloating; changes in bowel or bladder habits; unexplained bleeding (from the bottom, in poo or wee, after sex, or after the menopause); heavy night sweats; unusual tiredness; and a hoarse voice or persistent cough.

Public Health Minister Sharon Hodgson welcomed the partnership, saying it is a simple but powerful way to make life‑saving advice part of daily routines. David Scott, Corporate Affairs Director at Morrisons, said the supermarket is proud to help the NHS reach customers and encourage people to get checked early.

If you notice something unusual or that does not feel right, contact your GP practice.
