Have you seen this?? Boy it sure made me chuckle. Then I thought, nope, better not laugh too hard or I’ll be leaking?!?!?! Actually I’m not quite there yet but I will admit that once or twice I’ve wondered if my body is going to take me down the leakage road. I will admit that sneezing on a full bladder has caught me once or twice. A couple months ago while reading the newspaper I saw an ad for doctors who specialize in bladder leakage for women. That’s when I realized that leakage must be something more universal than I thought. Why oh why don’t we women talk about all of this more?? Obviously if there are comics like the one above being made and doctors who specialize in the problem, there are people experiencing it. Let’s talk about it. Let’s try to help one another. There is really nothing to be embarrassed about, it’s normal. It’s natural. It happens. Yet we really don’t talk about leakage. Recently Poise contacted me concerning their new products for light bladder leakage. I was up for learning more about because, this is probably valuable information I will need in the future. As you can see, there are many different sizes of pads and liners to meet a person’s needs including liners and pads in a variety of sizes.
I know they look like period pads but these are better. Poise pads and liners are designed to absorb more quickly than period pads making them more reliable.
I love living in this time in history. People are more open and talk about things that were once so private. Companies are making products to meet our private needs, Poise is especially prominent in helping we women take on life’s challenges with confidence. If the time comes…or when the time comes, I know these new Poise products will be the things for me. I want a product especially designed to meet my specific need. I definitely want something that will neutralize odor. I definitely want a product that will absorb quickly. Poise light bladder leakage products have the qualities I’ll be looking for. Poise is offering free samples for those of you who are considering making the Clean & Fresh switch – Get a free sample or coupon of the Poise pads and liners here.

Showers make me feel nice and clean, especially when I use the coconut and lime body wash that I got as a Christmas gift!
To feel clean and fresh? I love to shower with something really fragrant after a good workout.
I spread the word today on Twitter:

I turned 66 this year. And you know, the older you get, the more your body surprises you. Sometimes in not a good way! I have tried Poise pads and have begun using them every day–just in case…. I have found them wonderful, comfortable and very effective. You are right this is a secret that is rarely discussed. But (eek!) I just discussed it!
Before I retired, I worked as a Physical Therapist and one of my specialty areas was bladder leakage. We used a specific set of exercises to help strengthen the appropriate muscles. Often we saw women who had limited there physical and social activities because of this problem. Since exercise and social interaction are both so very important, along with the exercise program clients were encouraged to “pad up and get out”. Thanks for tackling a somewhat sensitive subject.
A shower and a light body spray.
Great products. One never knows when they may be needed.
A shower or bath. Thanks for sharing. Getting older and may need this in the near future.
The reason I no longer run.i take showers or a quick dip in the pool. Thanks or the chance
Poise products are really nice for that little annoying problem. I highly recommend them.
I take frequent showers to feel clean and fresh.

I take a daily shower to wake up and feel fresh. I was on a 2.5 hour flight a few years ago and knew I’d need the bathroom about half way through. About the time I decided to go to the bathroom there was massive turbulence and even the flight attendants had to sit and buckle up for the duration of the flight. I was so worried about leakage and absolutely miserable that I bought Poise when I got off the plane for the flight home. I always use them when flying or on long road trips with the DH that only stops for gas. Several women in my local quilt guild have discussed this problem. Seems like we’ve all had hysterectomies and I’ve wondered if that makes any difference. Thanks for talking about it.
A shower makes me feel fresh especially during these hot summer months… sometimes several a day to stay cool and relaxed.
I bathe a lot, to stay fresh and clean, I love baths.

I do use the Poise light liners after having reconstructive surgery last summer or as I refer to it as a front & rear alignment. They do help to feel fresh, clean & confident.
I like to shower in the morning and at night to feel fresh.
I read a book on menopause and leakage was listed as a commen problem. This was almost 20 years ago and was news to me, even then! The Kegle exercises mentioned above really do help and are worth a try! We all have ” something” don’t we?
I love the exercise and shower regularly and exfoliate my skin once a week

I take a nice shower and moisturize daily and I usually take a bubble bath with epsom salt once a week because it detoxifies which I need. It’s always hot here so the trick to not to take showers that are too hot or your body will feel dried out and when you sweat it’ll be even worse than before. Pantyliners are also a life saver. Us girls are prone to leakage
I feel fresh after a shower!
I take showers and put on nice body mist.
Take a nice long shower and lotion up.
Brushing and flossing my teeth a few times a day always makes me feel fresher.
