If you haven't given birth yet then this isn't the answer for you, since the pelvic floor is forced to stretch while in labor. This still answers the question no matter how long ago you gave birth. Usually after labor when your pelvic floor gets stretched and will open when you laugh or cough because of the force you're putting on it. That's why when you laugh or cough you might wet yourself a little. If you want a better answer you should probably watch the Dr.Oz show, its on channel nine if you live in northern VA. I hope you understand the above ^^^

Is incontinence cumbersome for women?

Among women, age is usually a major reason of this. Hence incontinence can become cumbersome in one way or the other. Ageing causes the pelvic floor muscles which keeps the bladder closed to weaken. As a result even in case of any common stress like laughing and coughing causes urine leakage. This is also seen among some women who have little mental illness to have a failure of response to signals. Urinary incontinence can become a serious occupational issue if not take care; especially for a woman.
