Recognize your urine loss

Figures show that more than half of adult women experience urinary incontinence at some point. This can range from a few drops of urine during exercise to completely wet underwear several times a day.

Besides stress incontinence, you can also leak urine due to an excessive need to urinate. This is called urge incontinence and can be caused by an upset bladder. Whether you experience symptoms of an excessive need to urinate or urinary incontinence during exertion, it's important to make an appointment with your doctor.

Incontinence, especially severe incontinence, limits your daily life and significantly impacts your self-image. For example, you're constantly afraid of other people smelling you, carrying an extra set of clothes everywhere you go. Or you stop exercising because you're afraid of wetting yourself.

From leaking a few drops of urine to completely soaking your pants several times a day, everything falls under the heading of incontinence. There are different types of incontinence:

Urge incontinence : When you need to urinate, you have to run to the toilet in time, and sometimes you don't make it in time. In this situation, the bladder is called an overactive bladder.

Overflow incontinence : The bladder can no longer empty completely, causing it to overfill and resulting in urine leakage. This can be caused by a narrowing of the bladder neck or urethra, excessive pelvic floor muscle tension (restraining behavior), or a bladder prolapse.

Stress incontinence : The bladder's closing mechanism and pelvic floor muscles are no longer as strong. When pressure is applied (such as jumping, lifting, or sneezing), urine leaks. One in four women over 35 suffers from this form of incontinence. UnderWunder underwear is especially suitable for this group.
