00:00Hello to all my wonderful Australian friends.

00:04As you well know, I am not someone to shy away from speaking out,

00:08and so now I'm speaking directly to you.

00:12When Poise came to me and said that the prevalence of bladder leakage

00:16is even higher in Australia,

00:18with two and three women over 25 experiencing what I like to call

00:23the old giggle dribble,

00:25I wanted to do a special call-out to my fans down and down.

00:30Sorry, I don't know why I even tried to do that.

00:32Those postpartum or perimenopause bladder leaks are so common

00:36but often not talked about,

00:37and so I thought this was an excellent opportunity

00:41to get outspoken once again.

00:44I don't want a single woman out there to feel alone in her experience

00:47or to feel shame or embarrassment.

00:51I refuse to let a little giggle dribble

00:54stop me from enjoying everything it means to be a woman and a mother.

00:58So that is why I'm so excited to bring my new Poise TV ad down under.

01:04I'm not going to do it again, I promise.

01:06I hope it shows all you ladies who have to cross your legs when you sneeze

01:09that Poise is here for us.

01:12So check it out,

01:13and if you want to get on top of your own giggle dribble,

01:16visit the Poise website for more support and resources.

01:19visit the Poise TV ad.
