I'm sure we've all had the occasional leak during laughter, coughing, etc...
Well, there are pads for that, no?

How about other "oopsies" though?? Um...how to put this delicately...


Okay...

Passing wind unexpectedly.

Today at work I was bending over to put a file away and one little "poof" flew out before I even knew what was happening. Fortunately, nobody else was in the room. (Okay, stop laughing!!!!! I can hear you!) wink.gif

I realized, to my chagrin, this wasn't the first time this has happened, but the other times I was at home amusing my dh or the cats with the noise.

WTF? How can this be prevented? No more broccoli? But these days anything and nothing can cause gas. Ugh!! dry.gif

This has happened to me, especially during or after I work out on the treadmill. I found out that jogging or walking fast shakes things up inside. If it happens when I'm around other people, I check first to see if anyone is looking at me and if so, I look down and pretend it was my shoe or something. I actually went so far as to stop and look at the bottom of my shoe after a moderately loud one, to mislead anyone who thought it was what it really was. It's surprising how people really don't hear the quieter ones. Although they haven't been so quiet if I'm in the restroom, and in that case I just stay locked in my little stall until everyone leaves, no matter how long it takes. I don't know what foods to avoid. I eat a lot of broccoli and I'm sure that's not good. Oh well. Just try and keep 'em quiet, I guess. laugh.gif
