Shine a spotlight on menopause with Modibodi® and Dr Jana Pittman

The UK’s number one leak-proof apparel brand, Modibodi®, has teamed up with women’s health doctor, Dr Jana Pittman to talk all things Menopause.

All women experience perimenopause and menopause in different ways. For many women, perimenopause can be a challenging time which relates to the years leading up to the cessation of periods. While some will find this period easy, others will be stopped dead in their tracks by a variety of symptoms including hot flushes, vaginal dryness and sleepless nights.

However, one of the potential unspoken side effects of menopause is incontinence, with over 50% of menopausal women experiencing urinary tract infections.

Dr Jana Pittman says “Estrogen has a lot to answer for. An important consideration around the time of menopause due to the lower estrogen levels, is the weakening of the pelvic floor and thinning of the urethra (tube that removes urine from the bladder). This leads to an increase in urinary incontinence and prolapse.”

“Whilst there is no magic wand to make the symptoms disappear completely, there are things you can take and do help manage the symptoms. Modibodi’s Ultra range, is a collection of comfy and highly absorbent undies to help deal with this. Holding 250mls of liquid and with a design that is quick drying, the Ultra range feels less bulky than a stiff pad (no more rustling) and looks and feels like regular underwear, so you can manage leaks in a comfortable and discreet way. The designs patent pending technology provides a solution to menopausal incontinence that is comfortable, stylish and designed to give you the control and confidence you need when experiencing life’s leaks.”

Modibodi’s Ultra range is now available in the brand’s best-selling Sensual Hi-Waist Brief shape to help suit every body’s needs. Designed to support incontinence, Modibodi’s Ultra range uses a unique patent pending floating gusset to absorb up to 250 milliliters of liquid.
