**Sensitive nature: fair warning: Urinary incontinence (UI) is loss of bladder control. Symptoms can range from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting. It can happen to anyone, but it becomes more common with age. Women experience UI twice as often as men. Most bladder control problems happen when muscles are too weak or too active. Do you suffer with UI?

If you are not bothered by UI (meaning you have it, but it's no big deal) why is that? I'm mature about and just deal with it
