Hi Girlygirl, I have similar issues with the leaking but I have been told it is from surgical scaring, not pleasant and I have to wear liners everyday., part of my bowl was also cut out so I noe have to take medication to stop having the runs. Alot of issues but were still around and I just make the most of what I have.
