We wrote yesterday about how rarely incontinence features in the press and pointed out a recent article in The Times. In fact it seems to be a popular topic at the moment as a regular customer emailed us to point out an article from The Independent last month.

The article talks about one particular reader's own experiences of incontinence and the benefits of pelvic floor exercises and again highlights how common the condition is saying that the condition affects "40 per cent of women over 40, according to a UK urinary study carried out in 2000 by the Medical Research Council".

The article also talks about the TVT surgical procedure which offers a longer term alternative to using incontinence pads or pants for some patients.
