Giving birth to 4 children redefined the term “pee your pants funny” for me. What used to be a rare experience suddenly became a periodic occurrence. The worst part? I didn’t even need to laugh that hard for leakage to happen. Thank goodness I discovered Poise LBL Pads – for when motherhood makes everything pee your pants funny.
Coughing, jumping, sneezing, running. laughing – if you’re like me, these can all trigger Light Bladder Leakage (LBL). It’s one of those post-partum changes to our bodies that people jokingly reference, but rarely talk about. Many women are secretly dealing with LBL and using period pads to prevent leaks, often ineffectively. If this sounds familiar to you, it’s time to recycle period pads and use Poise Thin-Shape Pads, created specifically for LBL, instead.
I know, I know. Isn’t Poise what our grandparents wear? While Poise can be for incontinence, Poise LBL pads are designed for the light leakage 1 in 3 women experience as a result of pregnancy, weight gain, childbirth, complications from surgery, and frequent urinary tract infections. They are up to 40% thinner than the original Poise Pads, feature super-absorbent material, and keep you up to 3x drier than regular period pads.
I don’t know about you, but I’m done wearing ineffective or bulky period pads for LBL. I want to laugh, run, jump rope, bounce my kids on the trampoline, join a gunny sack race, and sneeze without leakage ruining my fun or keeping me on the 
sidelines. I replaced my period pads long ago with a cup and now I’m ready to ditch them altogether. Here’s what happened when I invited my 8 year-old daughter to help me recycle period pads for good.
She looked perplexed by the pad and I told her to not worry about it’s original purpose – but just use some recycling genius to transform it into something else. All I could think of was using the pad on my Swiffer. Left in her capable hands, however, what started as one little doll house table became a cozy apartment for Pet Shops!
