Stress Incontinence (SUI) means you pee yourself when you exercise, sneeze, laugh or do certain activities. A little or a lot of pee, it doesn\u2019t matter. This is Stress Incontinence. It doesn\u2019t feel good, it can make you feel embarrassed, lonely, disconnected from your body and maybe even let down by your body. Incontinence is a common condition affecting 1 in 5 women1). Common but NOT normal. Let\u2019s be clear, leaking of any kind, just because you had a baby or because you are a woman of a certain age, is not something you have to put up with.
