Bladder and bowel leakage is common, and it is not something to be embarrassed about — but it goes unmentioned for years, and the shower gets avoided in the meantime.

Most are low-cost items an occupational therapist or continence nurse can recommend. The National Continence Helpline is free on 1800 33 00 66.
