PMSL is a riot. (FYI: It’s textspeak for “pissing myself laughing,” which is more commonly used among our friends across the pond).

And, unfortunately, Luce Brett, a brit, is an expert on peeing herself.

This book about urinary incontinence is for all the ladies who’ve given birth -- and lived to tell about the mass destruction that happens to our private parts.

Luce is a comedian, so this book is laugh-out-loud funny as she talks about her “damaged bits” and “broken muff.” But it’s also a great, tell-it-like-it-is resource for other mums who are coping with “fanny collapse” and need to know their options on how to plug their leak.

Since more than 1/3 of women in this great, big world pee themselves (ahem, have urinary incontinence), this book will help “the leaky among us get dry.” After all, Luce tells us that we need to grow up and start talking about it.

The baby books don’t talk about it. Our friends *won’t* talk about it. But our doctors needs to know what what’s up. Thankfully, Luce Brett shares her actual experiences in her very own frank and hilarious way.

OMG. Incontinence is no joke. But Luce keeps it light and even educates us on the topic of why things can go terribly wrong during the birthing process—enough to put us in adult diapers.

Like Mr. Brett (Luce’s hubby), I’ve been sent to stores on “pad hunts” and there’s definite shame in the shopping game. (Thank God for Amazon!)


Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an electronic copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
