Our story
Laura is walking through the park, holding hands with her little girl, who suddenly loosens her grip and runs ahead, giggling.
Excited for the chase, the game that makes her shriek and then collapse into giggles when her mummy catches her.
Instead, Laura walks, fed up, because she knows what happens if she runs to catch up. Bladder leaks.
Laura tried every pad, every promise. Nothing worked.
So she developed her own and trialled it with England Athletics.
Now, she runs marathons wearing DriRun, and her daughter comes to races and they hurtle through the finish line holding hands.
Laura is on a mission to package that freedom and protect what moves women.

FAQs
What is the difference between period and bladder leaks?
Speed – Bladder fluids flow as fast as your tap runs, so at this rate, it only takes 2-3 seconds to match the loss of an entire period.
Viscosity – Water always wants to find the lowest level and can leak through a pinhole. Menstrual flow is thicker, slower and blood will coagulate and eventually dry.
Volume – Our bladder holds 500ml (a pint) and we usually feel the need to wee when our bladder has 150-250 ml of urine in it. This is 25 times more liquid than an entire period day.
Position – We cannot hold in our period because wee and period blood do not exit the body from the same place – urine exits from the urethra, which is further forward.
Why do my period pants overflow?
Bladder fluids flow as fast as your tap runs, so at this rate, it only takes 2-3 seconds to match the loss of an entire period.
Why do my disposable pads chafe?
Heat, sweat, friction and urine make things uncomfortable. The salt in our sweat gets trapped between the plastic pad and our skin and when we move, the friction can literally rub a hole in your delicate vulva skin and it blooming hurts! Some women use anti-chafe balm.
According to Dr Gomes, a consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, disposable pads often “are made from compounds called polyolefins and may also contain absorbent gels, wood cellulose, and absorbent foam….All these materials have the potential to irritate the skin. When pads come in contact with menstrual blood, they release dioxin and methane gas, making women vulnerable to rashes and infections.”
It’s possible to be allergic to any of the materials used in disposable pads which can lead to a rash. Fragranced pads and even the adhesive strips used can also cause an allergic reaction and rashes.
