Wife: Why do you lean forward on the toilet?

Me: My doctor said it helps squeeze out the last bit of pee.

Wife: Why don't you just sneeze?

Me:

No One Told Me with lights by TENA Have to enter yours? #noonetoldme

No one told me that unexpected leaks are okay!  In fact, incontinence in women is far more common than we imagine but most women won’t talk about it.  More than a third (35 per cent) of women still consider light bladder weakness to be a taboo subject.

The thing we don't talk about #oooopsmoments

The thing we don’t talk about #oooopsmoments

You know how they say that sometimes you open your mouth and your mother comes out? No? Yes? That doesn’t happen to me so much; my mum and I aren’t particularly alike and I’d need far more intelligent stuff to drop pearl-like and wisdom-y for me to sound much like her. ;) However, there are often times these days when I remind myself very much of my mum, the mum I remember when I was a little…

It then became professionally real!

A chance chat about my idea at a village social event set me off on the next step of the just B me journey … a friend of a friend mentioned a knickers manufacturer (Headen & Quarmby) who had featured in a TV documentary.

After a few weeks of building up the courage (did I mention that I hate chatting on the phone to people I don’t know – it is a visual thing as I like to see the faces of people I am talking to), I phoned Headen & Quarmby to see if they could help.  They could and they did … bringing their professional expertise to my amateur knickers design, they made the first sample.

The problem was, my measurements weren’t quite right, so the knickers turned out a little ‘Simon Cowell-style’!

After a rather awkward phone call, where I am sure I used all of the wrong terminology (there may have been a better phrase than ‘camel toe’ to describe the bunching at the front that I needed to avoid, but hey) we got to the bottom of the issue … a too tight elastic waistband was dragging the knickers up practically to my ‘nips’ while the fabric I had bought for the leg bindings wasn’t stretchy enough.  Thank goodness the H&Q team were patient!

A few more tweaks to the design and a few months later after a fab photo shoot and quite a few learnings along the way, we are now waiting on the delivery of the first order at the end of this week and hence the launch of just B me.  How exciting?!
