Hello to all my wonderful Australian friends.
00:04
As you well know, I am not someone to shy away from speaking out,
00:08
and so now I'm speaking directly to you.
00:12
When Poise came to me and said that the prevalence of bladder leakage
00:16
is even higher in Australia,
00:18
with two and three women over 25 experiencing what I like to call
00:23
the old giggle dribble,
00:25
I wanted to do a special call-out to my fans down and down.
00:30
Sorry, I don't know why I even tried to do that.
00:32
Those postpartum or perimenopause bladder leaks are so common
00:36
but often not talked about,
00:37
and so I thought this was an excellent opportunity
00:41
to get outspoken once again.
00:44
I don't want a single woman out there to feel alone in her experience
00:47
or to feel shame or embarrassment.
00:51
I refuse to let a little giggle dribble
00:54
stop me from enjoying everything it means to be a woman and a mother.
00:58
So that is why I'm so excited to bring my new Poise TV ad down under.
01:04
I'm not going to do it again, I promise.
01:06
I hope it shows all you ladies who have to cross your legs when you sneeze
01:09
that Poise is here for us.
01:12
So check it out,
01:13
and if you want to get on top of your own giggle dribble,
01:16
visit the Poise website for more support and resources.
01:19
visit the Poise TV ad.
