The taboo of bladder health issues
Bladder health isn’t the easiest of topics to discuss - there’s a lot of taboo for women around it and that means we are loath to discuss our symptoms and experiences. When it starts to impact the parts of life that we love the most it’s particularly tricky too.
Walker Ann’s experiences of bladder problems
Ann, 52, had always loved walking - being out in nature cleared her mind and made her feel strong. But as she began to feel like her bladder ruled her life around toilet visits and clothing changes, her favourite pastime became something she dreaded.
That changed when Ann discovered Jude’s Bladder Health Food Supplement and joined their supportive Facebook community, Jude and Friends. In one of her first posts, she wrote:
Three weeks before, Ann had started taking Jude’s Bladder Health Supplement, a daily regiment packed with soy germ extract and pumpkin seed - two powerful botanicals that contribute to pelvic floor’s natural elasticity and help the bladder feel secure.
Within weeks, Ann began learning about bladder irritants and the kinds of foods and nutrients that support pelvic health. She started to feel hopeful again.
Shared experiences
When Caroline, 56, read Ann’s Facebook post she recognised Ann’s experiences
Ann and Caroline began chatting privately, sharing frustrations and tips, and eventually discovered they lived just under an hour apart in Sussex. Caroline suggested they meet at Beachy Head - “It’s beautiful, manageable, and crucially, has a loo at the café!”
That walk marked a turning point. They clicked instantly - no awkward explanations, just mutual understanding. Their friendship flourished, and walking together became a regular routine.
But something else happened, too.
“On a recent walk in the South Downs, we reached our planned break spot and realised that neither of us actually needed the loo!” Caroline laughed. “We just looked at each other in disbelief. That’s continued since, and we’re both convinced it’s down to Jude’s Supplement, and giving our bladders the nutrients it needs to function well.”
Ann and Caroline still plan their walks carefully, but there’s more freedom in them now. Fewer worries, and more joy.
“Instead of saying, ‘I’ve gotta go,’ now we say, ‘We’ve got this!’” says Caroline.
