Pop quiz! Psst... A recent study found that 10 percent of young women have this pee issue:
A. Leakage
B. Burning
C. Frequent urination
D. Chronic UTIs
Answer: A. Yep, 10.3 percent of women ages 19 to 30 experience urinary incontinence—a.k.a. unintentional leakage. (And 63 percent of Whisper respondents admit they occasionally pee a little in their pants.) "Stress incontinence"—whizzing from the pressure of laughing, sneezing, or jogging—is the most common type in adults under 50, says gynecologist Ashlesha Patel, M.D.; weak pelvic floor muscles are likely to blame. Strengthen them by doing Kegel exercises daily: Start with three sets of 10 reps, holding each for five seconds. Gradually increase each squeeze by one second per week until you're able to hold for 10 seconds.
