One in three women in the world don’t eat breakfast.
One in three of us are blonde.
One in three of us understate the amount our shoes cost to our partners.
And one in three of us experience bladder leakage.
Yep one in three.

A Facebook community of Mums were talking about it the other day. The semi-anonymity that Facebook allows granted them a little bit of privacy. The language they used to describe it surprised me though- “shame”, “frustration”, “humiliation”, and a feeling of being “all alone in this”.
You wonder why we allow ourselves to feel that way when it is actually not really that big a deal and it’s not really that uncommon.
One in three. Take a look around you, at three women nearby. One in three of them are going through this to some degree.
It’s caused by a variety of things including childbirth and obesity.
According to a study undertaken by lights™ by TENA®, 38.2% of females have no idea that obesity is a cause of bladder weakness. (I didn’t!)
The other cause can be exercise – now here’s a scenario that might feel a little bit familiar.
