Aggy's Testimonial
I love to run, but my enjoyment was hampered by persistent bladder leakage. I would be soaking wet by the end of even a short run. One pad was never enough, and there was no question of wearing fashionable brightly-coloured, skin-tight leggings which would immediately give me away. I started to run in a Tutu to hide what was happening, and soon became known as The Tutu Runner and everyone just thought I was a joker, whereas the actual reason was pretty serious.
I decided to make serious life style changes, signing up to the ‘Six Pack Revolution’ through which I lost three stone, gained visible abs, and detoxed from caffeine. But the leaks kept coming and, if anything, they got worse.
I just didn’t understand why I could be at my fittest, with a strong pelvic floor, and have done my best to make serious lifestyle changes, but still leak. It was baffling.
I just broke down and cried. It was soul-destroying because I knew I was doing everything I should be doing yet it wasn’t having any impact.
Determined to find an answer, I decided to take a different approach and Googled the problem – not what I would normally advise as a GP – and found Contrelle
To put Contrelle to the test, I didn’t embark on just any run: I went for a 9-mile fell run, hopping over obstacles – something normally guaranteed to cause serious leaking – and without wearing an absorbent pad.
When I got back home I was amazed to find that I was still dry as a bone – not even a drop of wee had come through. It was a revelation.
I’d always felt that this was just my issue. Now I know that’s not the case, I’m not only keen to pass on news about the solution I’ve found, but to get everyone to speak openly about a problem that women still seem to feel is taboo and could be stopping them from enjoying all important exercise.
