Pack away the pads

Whether you've had kids, are menopausal or love high-impact exercise think running and box jumps - if you're one of the 42 per cent of UK women with bladder incontinence, there's good news. A revolutionary solution that doesn't involve suppositories or surgery is now available in the UK, after achieving considerable success in the US. Using the Elitone GelPad - which does 100 Kegel exercises for you in 20 minutes via neuromuscular stimulation - 95 per cent of users had fewer leaks after six weeks, while 85 per cent reduced their sanitary pad use for stress incontinence.
