Think Wet Panties are Just a Sign of Aging? Think Again!

A lot of mature women are walking around with wet panties when they shouldn't be.

And we're not talking about the "sexy" kind of wet panties; we're talking about the wet panties you get from urinary incontinence.

Why are these women walking around with wet panties?

Because many of them (34%) think it's a normal sign of aging, so they just shrug it off rather than getting help from a health care professional.

Well we've got news for you: urinary incontinence is not normal or healthy at any age.

The idea that female urinary incontinence "just happens" as we age is one of the biggest myths about this condition. For instance, many women believe that the average age at which women experience stress urinary incontinence symptoms is 50 and older.

That simply isn't true.

In fact, 40% of women first experience stress urinary incontinence symptoms before they are 40, and 23% had symptoms before they were 30.

Still think that urinary incontinence automatically goes hand in hand with aging? It doesn't. So much for that myth!
