Depend has your Bladder Leakage Covered

Thank you to Depend for sponsoring today’s post about the #dropyourpants for #underwareness movement. All experiences and opinions are my own.

No matter how prepared you are for having children, no matter how many books you read and people you talk to, you never get the whole story. There are things about child-birth and changes to your body after having children that people don’t tell you, you end up learning it on your own. I had no idea after I had my first child that bladder leakage was in my future. I always thought that was an “old people” issue and I had many decades before I needed to worry about bladder leakage. I was wrong.

Before I had children I had a bladder of steel. Even after my first child I was doing pretty good. I have flown across the world several times without using the tiny bathroom on the airplane. I now am the mother of three and my bladder of steel is more like a bladder of plastic. I definitely have limits on “holding it” and at times I find the inconvenience of bladder leakage my new reality.

I remember the first time I realized my steel bladder was gone. A very funny article resulted in a shocked, deer in the headlights look on my face and a sprint to the bathroom. Usually for me the bladder leakage is most prominent in the months following a delivery, but still when a sneeze or a cough comes on, you bet I’m squeezing my legs together and hoping for the best. With Depend, I wouldn’t have to hope, I would have the best outcome – protection. This is a plug to remember to do your kegel exercises! I have learned now earlier in my life than I thought I would that bladder leakage is a concern for the young and old alike.
