Grahams Natural Skin
Eczema, Psoriasis &
Dermatitis Relief
What began as a desperate effort by a father
to cure his son’s eczema has become one
of Australia’s most touching success stories.
Grahams Natural was founded by Geoff Graham
who, after suffering a lifetime of eczema,
discovered that he had passed down the skin
condition to his son, Ryan. Dissatisfied with the
products on the market such as toxic steroid
treatments, Geoff along with his wife Shannon,
spent years researching and sampling their own
mixtures of all-natural, raw materials until finally
they formulated a natural eczema treatment.

Stop the Leaks
Did you know that 1 in 3 women suffer
incontinence and that 87 percent of all women
don’t seek help for their problem? Another
misconception is that most people think it is an
issue affecting women only after child birth but
this is most definitely not the case. Adding to the
mix of the diverse range of women dealing with
this problem is that 30 percent of athletes suffer
SUI (or stress induced urinary incontinence) with
gymnastics and basketball rating the highest. Even
more staggering is the news that women spend
around $390 a year on pads to manage SUI.
Now a revolutionary feminine hygiene product
which stops bladder leaks and assists weak
pelvic floor muscles has just been released.
Confidant is an innovative new product which
stops the symptoms of SUI in women. Easy to
use, discreet and allows women to regain their
confidence and decreases the anxiety about
potential bladder leaks. Confidant can be used
during times of exercise or if you require further
support during your daily life. It can be used for
up to 24 hours until it needs to be removed and
washed. Users can go to the toilet as usual.
Someone who is a passionate
advocate for the benefits of Confidant is
Fitness Superwomen, Caitlin Langford.
“It is my secret weapon. It’s basically
like a little bladder support device. I
first started using one of these after
my first bub, under the guidance of my
physio. I had bladder prolapse post
baby and it was awful,” said Caitlin. “In
the scheme of prolapses, it wasn’t that
bad, but for a runner, it was pretty much
the worst thing that could happen. Now I have
my confidence back and I love using it for lifting,
squatting, deadlifting and Olympic lifts. Those are
the movements which are really heavy on the core
and pelvic floor.”
The founder of Confidant, is Aasha Venning,
a 40 something Mum of two who outlines
the reasons for her new product. “I founded
Confidant after my own struggle with pelvic floor
dysfunction and the realisation that there are
better alternatives to the padding problem. After
the birth of my second child, now who is now
seven years old, I was not able to engage in high
impact physical activity without suffering light
bladder leaks. It was possibly one of the most
shameful and devastating things that happened
to me after childbirth. I had done all the usual
pelvic floor exercises and still the issue was not
resolving itself. Did you know that just under 50%
of women who exercise leak? This is a common
issue that no one talks about and people simply
pad the problem.”
When not in use, Confidant can be stored in
a storage container that fits into your handbag
or gym bag and it has been specifically
designed in three sizes.
