Confidence with Light Bladder Leakage: It's Nothing to Sneeze At - Grown Ups Magazine - As women, and especially as moms, we all know that sometimes our bodies don't cooperate - a lot like our kids!

As women, and especially as moms, we all know that sometimes our bodies don’t cooperate – a lot like our kids! After having those kids, things change with our bodies that we never would have expected. Something as innocent as a sneeze can cause panic, loss of confidence, and a trip to the bathroom for a mirror-check. Light Bladder Leakage (LBL) can be triggered by everyday occurrences like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise.

Can you spend the afternoon shopping on a bright, sunny day without worry that each massive sneeze as you walk out into the sunshine will make you lose it? Your entire body cringes with the thought of a leak in the parking lot.

Can you attend a yoga class without being self-conscious about your liner bunching up or something leaking in areas you don’t normally expose to the rest of the world? You know the fear of everyone in the class staring, even if it’s not (entirely) true.

Can you attend a comedy festival and know that you’ll be able to sit through every performance? You know you don’t want to be waiting in the port-a-potty line over a little leakage. That would be the real joke of the night!

Light bladder leakage affects one-third of women so you’re not alone.

Many women rely on feminine care products or nothing at all to manage their little leaks because they don’t know there are solutions designed specifically for LBL or they don’t think incontinence products are for them. I learned about Poise® Microliners at just the right time. These thin and super absorbent liners feature SAM (Super Absorbent Material) that allows you to be confident, worry free, and prepared when LBL surprises you.

When I was shopping for liners for light bladder leakage, I didn’t realize that they are sometimes displayed in another aisle, separate from the liners I’m used to buying. Once I found the correct section of the store, I noticed the wide selection that Poise® offers. Of course, their Microliners are, well, micro… so I knew those were right choice for me.

I got a sample of liners and so can you! Grab your free samples plus a coupon here: Poise® Liner Sample Kit

Many thanks to Poise® for sponsoring this story and keeping me confident!
