6-WEEK GUIDED PELVIC HEALTH PROGRAM
Not sure where to start on your journey? We can help! We’ve developed our 6-Week Guided Program with the help of physical therapists trained in women’s health.
Throughout this program, you’ll receive pelvic health tips and recommendations for building a strong and healthy pelvic floor. This guide is designed for anyone looking to keep their pelvic floor healthy, and specifically for women experiencing urinary incontinence or bladder leaks.
NOTE: The information shared within NAFC’s Pelvic Floor Health Center is meant to be used as a guide but should not be considered a replacement for medical advice. Not all pelvic floor exercises are for everyone, and we strongly urge you to talk to your doctor before beginning any new workout routine, and, if possible, see a physical therapist trained in pelvic floor health to receive a diagnosis and treatment recommendation.

Not All Leaks Are the Same: Understanding the Difference Between LBL (Light Bladder Leakage) and HBL (Heavy Bladder Leaks)
Most incontinence products on the market were made for Light Bladder Leakage (LBL), such as the occasional drip or the small dribble triggered by a sneeze or laugh. For millions of people, that’s not the full story. Heavy Bladder Leaks (HBL) involve larger volumes and/or multiple full releases throughout the day or night. Store-brand products, even those labeled “maximum” or “overnight”, aren’t designed to handle that level of need.
If products keep failing, it can start to feel personal. But when a product was never built for your reality in the first place, that’s not a personal failure. It’s a product gap.
Understanding the difference between LBL and HBL is the first step toward finding trusted protection that actually works.
