We know this isn’t easy to talk about
For millions of women, urinary incontinence is a daily battle. It’s a condition that affects 1 in 4 women in the UK, often beginning after childbirth or as they get older.
Supporting Women's health
The impact of urinary incontinence goes far beyond the physical symptoms, it can lead to embarrassment, isolation, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness. For many women, this silent struggle shapes their lives in ways many aren’t aware of. They avoid social events, give up the activities they once loved, and endure the emotional toll of feeling trapped in their own bodies.
Despite the widespread prevalence of this condition, it’s often misunderstood and stigmatised, leaving countless women to suffer alone, unaware that effective treatments exist. Over 14 million people in the UK use incontinence pads, many believing that “managing” the problem is their only option. Media advertisements often normalise the condition, suggesting that containment is the solution. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
