It's the tissue time of year! If you leak when you blow your nose, cough or sneeze try this:
- tighten your pelvic floor
- keep hold of the 'hold' during the event
- release
It'll help you stay dry down under.

Top Tip.
Want to reconnect with your pelvic floor?
- sit on the toilet lid and lean forwards with your elbows on your knees
- stop yourself breaking wind
If you feel that upwards and forward lift down under you've nailed it!

Top Tip.
Don't hold your breath when you squeeze your pelvic floor. It works better on an 'out' breath.
- grab a cuppa
- relax and breath in
- as you blow your drink cool tighten your pelvic floor
