The Dribble (Blogs are so boring)

Do you find yourself leaking urine when you sneeze, cough, laugh, run, etc.? Not being able to leave the house without having to bring extra incontinence pads and a change of clothes?

Have you stopped doing the activities you love, in fear you might leak in public?

In this blog we will explore some of the reasons this may be happening and what you can do to help improve the leaking. No one should have to suffer in silence or to feel embarrassed. It is very common but not normal (regardless of what certain incontinence pad companies would want you to think).

September is Urology awareness month, hosted by the Urology Foundation to raise awareness and money for training and research into different urological conditions. They also want to break down the stigma that surrounds these conditions. It’s estimated that 1 in 2 of us will be affected by a urological condition in our lifetime. this years theme is incontinence, a common but debilitating condition that affects so many yet is rarely spoken openly about. 

The human body is an amazing thing, especially your pelvic floor. The different muscles and tissues that make up the pelvic floor work in harmony to support the bladder, bowel, uterus and the rest of the body. The pelvic floor truly is the core of your body and is the key to a healthy and happy life. 

Let’s take a look at 8 mind boggling facts you need to know about the pelvic floor

Most of you will probably already know this but if not and you’ve been living under a rock the past week then this one’s for you. Secret Whispers and our award winning Kegel Weights were featured in one of the UK’s top publications, (with an average monthly reach of around 33 million!) The Daily Mail. More specifically, in the Femail section by Dr Clare Bailey in her column, A Problem Shared.

Kegel exercises are fabulous for strengthening and tightening the pelvic floor, but only if you actually remember to do them! Marrying up doing your kegel exercises with something else you already do every day is the ideal way to ensure you keep on track with doing your daily kegels.

We wanted to use today's blog to go back to basics and talk about the pelvic floor, kegel exercises and how the Secret Whispers Kegel Weights could change your life. If you’ve been on the fence about investing in yourself with a set of our kegel weights, then this is the blog for you, so sit back and read on about (almost) everything you want to know about your pelvic floor and kegels.

Doing your Kegels needs to become a habit. One you will be thankful for.

A prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles are weakened and the pelvic organs can bulge (prolapse) from their natural position into the vagina. Sometimes the prolapse can be so severe that it can protrude from the vagina. Personally I can’t imagine how scary this must feel to literally have your insides falling out. This is the reality for many women, though the majority will only suffer a partial prolapse.
