Reduce leaks and run with confidence. The Pelvic Floor & S.U.I

As a women, your pelvic floor has the important job of supporting your bladder.

You've all heard of it, and the many reminders to do your Kegels. For a lot of you, that’s about as much attention as your pelvic floor gets until it stops serving you quite as it might.

In the medical world, experiencing leakage on effort or exertion is called stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Perhaps you’ve joked about a bit of wee coming out when you laugh, or perhaps bladder control has caused you significant anxiety and concern for a long time now.

It’s extremely common to experience some incontinence – particularly post-childbirth or during the menopause. But does that mean you should put up with it? Absolutely not!

What is Efemia and how does it work? When there’s pressure on the bladder, your urethra might need a bit of extra support at times, particularly on exertion (eg. running), and that’s where efemia comes in.

Its soft, silicon support rings are designed to be worn in the vagina like a tampon. By pushing slightly on the vaginal wall, it helps to support the urethra and ultimately reduce leaks.

5 ways to keep up those New Year's resolutions

It’s estimated that nearly half of us still make at least one New Year’s resolution on the first day of January, even as we grow more cynical with age.

But even the most sincere resolution can quickly become a burden
as life takes over and slow progress weakens your resolve.

If you’re struggling to keep motivated you don’t necessarily have to give up entirely.

Sometimes life events make it difficult or even impossible to achieve your original goal but you can do it your way.

It could be a tiny tweak, it could be a complete change of direction, but it’s your goal, so take control
and do what you need to do to stay galvanised.
