Last July, I welcomed beautiful baby girl Taylor. She is my last child and I am now a very happy mommy of three beautiful children. How did I ever get so lucky?! I welcome just about every change pregnancy did to my body because ultimately it brought me to my three beauties. However, I have had one issue since day one of my first pregnancy and that is leaking! I have had bladder leakage since delivering my first child every single time I laugh or exercise. This was very problematic until I had the chance to try Poise Impressa.
I actually heard about Poise Impressa from a girlfriend who experienced a bit of leakage every single time she laughed. I was glad to hear that I was not the only one who pees and laughs. For real, every single time in the past my children or husband told me a funny story, I had a bit of a problem down there. The leakage was not fun and most of all, it is embarrassing! Do not worry though because this is such a common problem with women today. I was so anxious to try the Poise Impressa Starter Kit so it was off to CVS I went. If you are as excited as I am to try it there is a $1 off the Poise Impressa Starter Kit printable coupon at CVS, available until all are claimed. So be sure to check out that great coupon today!
I was very easily able to find Poise Impressa in the tampon/pad section of my local CVS. I was so intrigued by the packaging and was so anxious to go home and try them. I was anxious to see if I could finally go about my normal exercise routine without having to worry about bladder leakage. I was excited to learn that Poise Impressa supports for up to 8 hours in a 24 hour period, and you do not need to remove them when using the bathroom.
I think the two main problems I have with leakage is when I exercise and when I laugh. The exercise part with leakage is not good at all because I am an avid runner and tennis player. I needed to find a product that would give me the confidence to finish my long training runs or two hour tennis matches without being worried that I accidentally peed myself. Believe me there is nothing more uncomfortable or embarrassing then dealing with this problem.
I also love to have a good time with my friends and laugh. Even on my runs with my friends, we tend to have some pretty funny conversations and again, the bladder leakage comes into play. Who wants to worry about laughing and peeing?! I will say definitely not this girl!
So, I decided to start using the Poise Impressa Sizing Kit and I have had a great deal of luck with it helping with my bladder leakage caused by laughing, exercising, or even dancing. I was hesitant at first because it looked like a tampon and thought it might be uncomfortable, but this was not the case at all. Poise Impressa are meant ONLY to prevent the leaks. They are designed to help prevent them and hence cause unnecessary embarrassment.
If you are wondering how you use the Poise Impressa, it is actually very easy!
How to Use Poise Impressa:
Step 1: Start with size 1, insert the Bladder Support just like you would a tampon.
Step 2: The non-absorbent Bladder Support expands to support the urethra once inside.
Step 3: If you still experience leaks, then progress to size 2. Repeat until you’ve found your perfect internal fit.
Step 4: To remove, pull on the string and dispose of the bladder support in the trash.
In terms sizing, start with size 1 and then go up to size 2 or 3, if you continue to leak. The size is all about the internal fit for you, rather than how much you leak. If you experience bladder leakage when you laugh, cough, dance, sneeze or exercise, Poise Impressa Bladder Supports are for you. I know I had luck and know you will too!
I can play tennis and run with confidence thanks to Poise Impressa! What would you do?

I don’t have leakage issues, but there is a whole group of moms in my zumba class who do & there is always a collective sigh when a song with jumps comes on!

Impressa sounds great. I’ll have to tell my girlfriends how have this issue about it.
Raijean says
I’m glad you found what you needed. I know the feeling, nothing like good protection.
Michelle says
Kids can really do a number on us. I love how you have found a way to live the life you want with some *cough* support! #client
Kelly Hutchinson says
I have LBL after my 3 kids wreaked havoc on my poor bladder! The Poise Impressa sounds like something that may help me!
Theresa says
That’s great that there are products that help with leakage due to laughing. My mom has this issue after birthing 4 children. I’ll definitely tell her about Impressa!
Crystal says
One kid wasn’t a problem, but the time I got to #3 there was no hope for me! Poise is a great product for mamas.
Jeanine says
This is interesting! I’ve never heard of these before. Glad to see there is something like this around for those who need it. I’m sure after 6 kids I’ll be needing these sooner rather than later.
Amber C. says
Wow I had NO idea they made anything like this! I think it’s a great concept just not sure how I feel like it being used as a tampon, might have to give this a try!
Toni | BoulderLocavore says
This totally new to me and I really appreciate your ‘tell it like it is’ approach including showing the product. Very educational.
Marcie W. says
I had no idea there was an internal solution for bladder issues. I have had a few close calls while visiting the trampoline play place with my kids.
Seattle Travel Blogger says
At first I thought they were just like tampons too. These are a great idea for leakage I have sometimes when lifting weights.
Amanda says
I had no idea that made these! Perfect for us mammas that run and need a little extra leakage help!
Christie says
I like this more discreet option for LBL. I wonder how comfortable it is?
Melinda says
I was just reading about these. I want to introduce them to my best friend. Since her hysterectomy she’s suffered with some leakage.
Debbie Denny says
I don’t have this problem now. I think it would be good tho have these around if needed.
