How to not absolutely pee myself during double unders

[jesusmainman]

@tobyso Go see a pelvic floor physical therapist. They’ll fix you right up!

@tobyso My pelvic floor PT always says incontinence is very common but it’s not normal. Go see a PT and get it fixed.

@tobyso It’s been said but get ahold of a pelvic floor PT who specializes in the CrossFit population

You can find a list of certified people at
www.PTonICE.com

@tobyso Pelvic floor physical therapy is quite standard for all women in many countries outside the US. Yet within the US, it’s hardly known.

@tobyso Clothes peg on the dick helps me.

@tobyso i agree with going to see a therapist

in the short term you can:

use bathroom right before workout / dont over hydrate

use a depends type pad

sounds odd but having a tampon in also helps

think about bracing that area while jumping

@tobyso This really works! Go get some Poise Impressa bladder support.

@tobyso I think Brianna Battles on IG has some advice and help on the subject.

@tobyso Just read this article recently: https://www.elitefts.com/education/can-we-just-let-pee-pee-be/

It's primarily targeted at SUI during heavy lifting (powerlifting/strongman) but does conclude with:

Some key signs and symptoms of when to seek out help:

If you experience SUI while jumping, either from the ground or on a trampoline.

@tobyso Here's a really great post by Kristen Dunsmore on Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).

@tobyso Exercise leakage can be controlled with inserts. There's a Canadian version that works quite well (and you can't feel it) and have amazing customer support for their ... supports. They're called Uresta.com.

@tobyso Same problem- 42f with 2 kids but had it before kids too. Currently I just don’t do dubs. I started seeing a pelvic PT, but it wasn’t covered by my insurance so $180/session out of pocket, she wanted to see me once a week which was too much $$$ for me, plus the time away from work and parenting. The exercises she had me do were probably helpful over the course of a year or more but I just wasn’t capable of spending an hour a day on them to hopefully see some improvement. I just decided that I didn’t care about doing DUs that much right now and quit them all together. I’ve tried the impressa and they help, plus been wearing some “period panties” to help absorb leakage.

@tobyso Bless you

@tobyso If you’re not able to find a PF PT (or in addition to PT) I highly recommend the programming from POPUp. It is designed for women with prolapse but they have a ton of really useful information, guidance, and workouts to help with a myriad of pelvic floor issues. I had a stage 2 prolapse after my pregnancy and a year later I am completely without symptoms (including leaking) thanks in big part to this programming. https://www.popuplifting.com/

@tobyso Having access to a pelvic floor physical therapist would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure there isn't one within a 6 hour drive from me, idk about your situation. I wear panty liners. They fix the immediate problem and buy time to do the PT thing.

 

[tgp2008]

@tobyso Yes, see a doctor. I don’t think this is a thing…unless you’ve had kids.

 

[christopherr]

@tobyso Brianna battles on ig is a grade A source of info as well

 

[codex]

@tobyso I didn’t know this was a thing but my coworker tells me she pees a little also during wods sometimes

@tobyso My wife went to see a pelvic floor specialist after having the same issue after 2 children. She can't recommend them enough!
