New shorts design ensures mums have plenty of support

Mum-of-three Yvonne Brady, 41, says her shorts are like a running bra but instead they give support to the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor. She also wants to break the taboo around leaking of urine and says women of all ages can need a bit of extra support — and not just after having a baby.
