Do you Leak During Workouts?
STRESS INCONTINENCE is COMMON BUT NOT NORMAL
One shocking statistic from a recent study in 2020 reported that 84% of female CrossFit athletes that participated in the study reported urinary leakage.(1)
In the study 48% of women who participated in non-CrossFit fitness classes reported experiencing urinary incontinence.(1)
Urinary leakage was most common with jumping and weightlifting actions, which of course are very common movements performed during CrossFit workouts.(1)

CrossFit, or High Intensity style workouts, have gained popularity over the years for a GOOD reasoning: they are physically and mentally challenging, create community and connection, and are fun!
Let's work to keep it that way!!
Stress Incontinence is a medical condition that is preventable and completely treatable without surgery or lifelong use of an intra-vaginal device called a pessary.
Do you Leak when you Laugh, Cough, or Sneeze?
Life Is Better With Laughter!!!
I often hear women say....
“Oh yeah, I leak when I laugh, but isn’t that normal? After pregnancy or as you get older isn't it normal to leak a little with laughing, coughing or sneezing?"
