Empowering people affected by incontinence to thrive.

💜 Happy International Women’s Day!

Today’s about celebrating the strength, resilience and everyday brilliance of women everywhere – including how we care for our health (even the things that don’t always get talked about).

Bladder leaks. Pelvic floor changes. Post-birth shifts. Menopause.

These are real parts of many women’s lives – and they deserve open, shame-free conversations 💬✨

If something’s been on your mind, you’re not alone. We’re here to listen and help.

🎙️The Pelvic Pod – Episode 3 is here!

In this episode, we’re joined by Hannah Orr, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, for a down-to-earth chat about pelvic health – what’s normal, what’s not, and when to get support.

We talk about the things people often wonder (but don’t always ask), bust a few myths, and share practical advice you can actually use 🙌

Because pelvic health isn’t just something to “put up with” – and you don’t have to figure it out on your own 💛

What if you didn’t know help was even an option?

For many people, incontinence is something they live with quietly – simply because no one ever told them support exists.

In Episode 2 of The Pelvic Pod, Emma shares how not knowing what to ask for delayed getting help – and why awareness matters so much.

Living with incontinence can be isolating, especially when it’s something people feel unable to talk about.

In Episode 2 of The Pelvic Pod, Emma shares her personal story of living with incontinence for over 20 years. She speaks openly and honestly about the challenges, stigma, and impact on daily life, as well as the importance of being heard, supported, and understood.

We were first honoured to share Emma’s story back in 2019, and it’s incredibly powerful to reflect on her journey again today.

A heartfelt thank you to Emma for her courage, honesty, and willingness to share her story.

Continence isn’t about having a “perfect” bladder or bowel 💛

So many things can play a part – and understanding them can help you feel more in control.

Things like:
💊 Medications – some can increase urgency or affect control
🚽 Constipation – it can put pressure on the bladder or make things uncomfortable
🤰 Body changes from pregnancy, birth, menopause, prostate changes and more
👴 Getting older – muscles, bladder capacity, and nighttime wee patterns can all shift

This isn’t about scaring you – it’s about helping you (and your whānau) understand what might be going on, so you can figure out what support could help most 🌱

If you’d like a chat or personalised advice, our helpline is here: 0800 650 659

Or visit continence.org.nz – you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
