Incontinence is an extremely common condition yet rarely features in the press.

This is primarily due to the taboos that still surround the condition. So it was good to see an article by Dr. Thomas Stuttaford and Suzi Godson in The Times on the weekend talking about the impact of incontinence and how common it is.

The article quotes some interesting statistics from America saying: "One recent research survey showed that nearly a third of female hard-hitters on the tennis court leaked a drop or two, and another study found that one American female student in five suffered minor stress incontinence daily."

Although the article doesn't cover the use of Incontinence Pants or Pads it does talk about the importance of Pelvic Floor Exercises.
