Show Notes

There's some full-on honest chat in this episode as we talk about all things downstairs with Kelly Newton and Coni Jefferson-Longden, the founders of NIXI Body.

Kelly tells us how pissing herself inspired her to become a pioneering inventor and engineer. We also hear about her experience of fostering 28 children over a period of 19 years.

Coni shares some fascinating facts about cervical mucus, and we learn why the gussets on our pants sometimes go a bit orangey. She discusses her challenging journey to becoming a mum, and tells us what not to say to anyone dealing with fertility issues.

There's a bit of chat about post-partum exercise versus taking it easy. Plus, find out why Ellie smacked Helen on the bum, and whether she liked it.

Many thanks to NIXI Body for sponsoring this episode. We are massive fans of their excellent knickers - they're so comfy, stylish, and amazingly leak-proof. We can run and wiggle about in them as much as we like, with no worries about periods or bladder business. Plus, no VPL! Head over to NIXIbody.com to have a look at the full range.
