From Stress Incontinence to Confidence Again: Pattie’s Kegel8 Ultra 20 Success Story

From Leaks to Liberation: Pattie’s Kegel8 Ultra 20 Story

Talking about pelvic floor weakness, stress incontinence, and intimacy struggles can feel deeply personal — and for many women, incredibly embarrassing. But at Kegel8, we want women to know they are never alone. These issues are far more common than people realise, especially after childbirth, hormonal changes, and years of silently coping with bladder leaks.

We’re so grateful to Pattie for sharing her story so openly, because her experience will help so many other women realise that support, understanding, and effective help are available.

“I thought this was just something I had to live with.”

Like many women, Pattie didn’t fully realise the long-term impact childbirth and years of undiagnosed BV had had on her pelvic floor health until her mid-40s.

After a difficult 40-hour labour, a ventouse delivery, and later giving birth to another large baby, Pattie’s pelvic floor muscles had become significantly weakened over time. Combined with years of recurring antibiotics, limited intimacy in an unhappy marriage, and the emotional effects of losing confidence in her body, Pattie began to feel completely disconnected from herself.

“I felt like my body had let me down,” she explains.

Following her divorce, Pattie was excited to begin a new chapter and enjoy a happier, more fulfilling relationship. But female stress incontinence and bladder weakness were holding her back.

Heavy-duty liners became part of everyday life. Sneezing caused leaks. Exercise felt impossible. Even simple daily activities became stressful and unpredictable.

“Within two or three weeks I was far less leaky – I was impressed, happy, and much less vulnerable to embarrassment.”

Building Kegel8 into her daily routine paid off. She noticed fewer leaks, more control, and later, when she added the Sensitivity programme, stronger orgasms too.

Now, at nearly 50, Pattie feels stronger than ever. She can lift 25kg weights at the gym with zero leaks, enjoy intimacy without worry, and go out without liners when she feels confident.

“I can honestly say that Kegel8 has transformed my physical health and wellbeing. Leaking pee is not sexy – what more do I need to say?!”

Small Changes Became Life-Changing Improvements

Over time, Pattie noticed her bladder control improving and her confidence returning.

“The constant fear of leaking started to disappear. I could exercise again without panic, and I stopped planning my whole life around needing pads.”

But for Pattie, the transformation went beyond physical symptoms.

As her pelvic floor strength improved, she also began feeling more comfortable, relaxed, and confident in her new relationship.

“I finally felt like myself again.”

You Are Not Alone

At Kegel8, we know how difficult it can be for women to talk about urinary incontinence, pelvic floor weakness, or intimacy concerns. Many suffer quietly for years, believing it’s simply something they must accept after childbirth or with age.

Stories like Pattie’s remind us that there is hope, support, and understanding available — and that taking the first step can genuinely change lives.

We’re incredibly thankful to Pattie for sharing her journey and helping other women feel less alone.

If you’re struggling with bladder leaks, stress incontinence, or pelvic floor weakness, speaking to your GP or Nurse can help identify the best treatment and support options for you.

And remember — at Kegel8, you are always part of a supportive and understanding community.
