What is SUI?
Bladder leaks (called stress urinary incontinence or SUI) can happen when physical movement or activity (running, coughing, lifting, laughing) puts pressure on your bladder causing you to leak urine. Although it most often affects postmenopausal women who’ve had kids, it can happen to women at any age. Bladder leakage affects up to 50% of us at some point during our lives. That includes 45% of elite female athletes, by the way.
While SUI is common, it’s not normal. We’re not medical experts, so we recommend you consult a trusted healthcare professional to find out what’s causing you to leak and come up with a treatment plan. In the meantime, we’re here to help you stay active. Bladder leaks should not keep you from doing the activities you love! Yes, it is frustrating to have to duck into a port-a-potty during a run or sneak out of a yoga class to use the bathroom. We get it. It happens to us too. Whether you are resuming training after a long stretch of career and family obligations, signing up for your first 5K, trying out cross fit, or just planning a weekend walk with friends, we’ve got you covered.
