Women already have enough on our plate, having to google 'how to do a kegel exercise' because we are constantly told we need to strengthen our pelvic floor, is just another thing to add to our 'to do' list. "I leak when I laugh/cough/sneeze" & "I just can't jump on a trampoline" are becoming more common conversations had by women today. However there are still a few taboo topics that women want to know about, but are just too embarrassed to ask for help or are unsure where to seek advice.
