For moms, summer vacations can feel like all work and no play. According to a new survey commissioned by MiraLAX®, women are 27% more likely to report travel-related stress than their male counterparts. As stress can lead to constipation, it’s perhaps not surprising that the survey also found women are twice as likely as men to report pooping less than three times a week. The vacation constipation struggle is real, leaving a whole group of on-the-go moms feeling fed up — and backed up.

 

To help combat The Gut Gap™ — a term coined by MiraLAX® to describe women being more stressed and more constipated than men — Scary Mommy teamed up with the brand to reward 5 lucky moms with a $750 gift card to use on a flight upgrade while traveling with their families this summer. So follow MiraLAX® on social, enter for a chance to win, and say goodbye to being stuck in that middle seat between two kiddos, and say hello to more legroom, better snacks, and a few hours of actual vacation before the real work begins.
