Often decreasing fluid intake can be very effective. People who drink high volumes of water are likely to leek more often than people who drink lower volumes of water. I'm not recommending becoming dehydrated and, if someone exercises, I definitely recommend hydration. I think it's important for people to try to use the thirst mechanism they were born with. People have really forgotten that. In addition to restricting fluids, pelvic floor exercises or the Kagel exercises, can be quite effective.
