Ulrika Jonsson, actress, model and television presenter, had a secret: her secret was that she suffered from light adult incontinence. Assuming her condition was part and parcel of numerous pregnancies and the rigours of childbirth, she did not mention the problem to her physician. In fact, she was too embarrassed to tell her husband, with whom she shares everything.
Although the decision to come forward and talk about the problem was not an easy one to make, Ulrika reasoned that it is time to break the taboo that exists around the subject of incontinence. She readily admits to being a very open person who can discuss almost anything, but the subject of incontinence is one that is difficult to talk about, simply because there is such a stigma attached to the subject.
Appoached to openly discuss her struggle with incontinence, which she was able to overcome with weight loss after her preganancy and the use of pelvic floor exercises, as well as using light protection as a confidence booster, Ulrika has stated that she wants women to know that there is help available, and that women who suffer from light adult incontinence should seek help for the problem. Ulrika notes that women are able to discuss almost anything about female issues, and now it is time to break the taboo surrounding the subject of light adult incontinence. Her message is simple: she conquered incontinence, and so can you.
