"Mummy, come on the trampoline with me...."
Are you evangelical about "coughs and sneezes spread diseases"? It's not the diseases that's the problem, right?
Are you a woman who always knows where her keys are? That last minute scrabble to find them when you are In-A-Hurry-To-Get-In-The-House...tricky.
If you are a woman with a mental map of your town based on which shops have toilets - then, we at Gusset Grippers know something about you!
And, we know you are not alone...the fact is that one in three women will have a wee problem at some point in their lives.
That's a third of your friends - though, a study of nearly 6,000 women, ages 30 to 90, found more than 40% of them reported some degree of female incontinence...though, it was suspected that some of the remaining 60% were not being entirely truthful.

"I know about pelvic floor exercises"
Of course you do.
You listened intently when you were told about them by your midwife. How many years ago was that, now?
And, you do them every single time you hear the words "pelvic floor". So, that's twice in the last year...ehm, by the way, see when you screw your face up like that? Yeah, we all know what you are doing, and you are doing them wrong.

"I can't remember to do them, it's boring"
You've got a good point.
For reasons unclear, science hasn't yet bothered to establish whether women enjoy meeting their friends to talk, eat and drink.
Scientists have busied themselves with a whole bunch of research which shows that women who have strong pelvic floors have better bladder and bowel control, a lower incidence of vaginal prolapse and (much) better sexual function than women who do not.
Oh, and they found that continence issues can destroy self confidence - depression is three times more common in women with incontinence compared to those without.
1.5 million women over the age of 65 rely on continence pads - that's the ones we know about. Most silver surfers buy their pads online and never mention it to anyone...well, incontinence is not a consequence of ageing. You don't have to put up with it.
Stats are dull. You didn't even read that bit, did you?
What it means is that somewhere between a third and half of all the women you know wet themselves. They might poo themselves too. And, some of them have bits that drop out their vagina. It's embarrassing, it's painful, it destroys confidence, it destroys relationships and - it can be cured.
Elaine Miller is a Chartered Physiotherapist, mother of three, stand up comic, and woman of a certain age - who has taken what we should be doing, and added what we like to do...and, it works a treat.
Gripping Gussets combines a good night in with teaching evidence based exercises - you'll have a great night in, a right good laugh, improve your continence and sexual function all at the same time.
