A 48 year old woman experienced bladder leaking with most of her physical activities. She had to wear a pad for protection and stopped some of her favorite activities because of the leaking. She saw her doctor who diagnosed stress incontinence and suggested she might want to try an incontinence pessary. It worked very well for her. She reported 'the pessary has changed my life. I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with such a contraption but a simple thing has become very effective. I can participate in golf, curling and other physical activities and find I am overall more active since I don't worry as much about being embarrassed. I have also lost over 30 pounds, I believe has been a result of becoming more active and only a slight change in diet. Thank you!'
