Essity's March 2026 international roundup highlights a TENA survey in Brazil about urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after birth. The company says the subject remains surrounded by stigma and that many respondents change daily habits because they fear leakage.
The roundup reports that half of the women in the survey were unaware of treatment options and dedicated products. It also cites a separate prevalence estimate attributed to the Brazilian Society of Urology. The visible summary does not provide all survey methods, sample details or underlying tables, so its percentages should be read in that limited context.
In Essity's international roundup, the Brazil item links pregnancy and the period after childbirth with urinary leakage that respondents said affected daily routines. The company says some women adjusted activities because they worried about an accident, while half did not know about available treatments or dedicated products. Essity also cites a separate prevalence estimate from the Brazilian Society of Urology. The roundup is an account of TENA's awareness activity and selected survey findings; it does not publish a full survey table or detailed fieldwork method in the item. Those limits matter when interpreting the percentages reported there.
