We’re baaaack…talking about Light Bladder Leakage again!
This is such an important topic for so many women. Light bladder leakage (LBL) happens in 1/3 of all women, it’s very common. Just what exactly IS light bladder leakage? LBL is the a light uninvited urinary leakage that occurs with certain triggers.
Top 10 Light Bladder Leakage Triggers
LBL can be triggered by a variety of things. Here’s the top 10 LBL Triggers:
- Changes from childbirth, pregnancy, hysterectomy or menopause
- Being overweight
- Medical complications
- Infections (bladder or urinary)
- Bladder irritants (eg. certain foods, etc)
- Coughing or laughing
- Sneezing
- Exercising or lifting
- Urge incontinence
- Mixed symptoms
So what Light Bladder Solutions do I have? How do I cope?
There are many solutions to light bladder leakage. Today I am going to offer you 5. For even more detail, head over to the Poise website for a full discussion of triggers, light bladder leakage solutions, and FAQs.
Top 5 Light Bladder Leakage Solutions
- See your doctor–a doctor can help you establish your triggers, health issues etc.
- Exercise–one helpful way to reduce leaks is to strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor. You can do this with yoga, Pilates, tai chi, walking, and kegels.
- Lose weight–extra weight leads to a weak pelvic floor.
- Track your Triggers–to discover what may be triggering your LBL, look for patterns by tracking your food, drinks, and activities.
- Be proactive with LBL!–Carry LBL specific liners (like Poise Microliners) in your purse or athletic bag. Consider packing a just-in-case tote of extra pants and underwear.

I didn’t know there were foods that triggered this! I know after kids this will get worse!
Wow I would have never thought that 1/3 of women had this problem. I noticed a changed after I gave birth.
This a joke between my friends and I. Every time we sneeze we say there goes a drop LOL
I am so glad something like this is available to those who need it!
This is fantastic info for those who need it. Thanks for sharing.
LBL can be such a problem! Thanks for the tips on how to deal with it.
Laughing is fun, but tends to lead to a little leakage problem. I’m on baby number 5 and being pregnant after being pregnant 4 times is rough. I carry around these pads wherever I go.
Those dang kids, they start messing with us right from the word jump don’t they? 😉 Kidding… kind of. These are great tips and always make me smile Shelley!
You are soo funny.. loved your post and well let’s keep this a secret but I know we all will feel better using this pad, I know I do 🙂
Great solution for someone like me – ever since having 5 kids my bladder is not the same!
Fantastic tips! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing these. I didn’t realize excersise. and weight loss actually help with LBL! Learn something new each day!
Great tips! This is definitely something I’d rather be prepared for in advance, then when it strikes!
See, I had two C-sections so I didn’t think I would be prone to LBL like my “normal” birthing friends. But nope. Age & gravity still did the trick. Thanks for making this a lighthearted topic!
I suppose I must be lucky where I don’t have any of these problems. Lucky for me!
I grew up with a lot of kidney problems and a long stream of UTIs back to back. It was a bit of a blessing to know I could wear something discrete but still offered protection!
I only have an issue because I”m pregnant… laughing and sneezing really do me in! I will be grabbing some of these for the remainder of my 3rd trimester, for sure!
Pregnancy is the WORSE for LBL!
I did not know about this, but i can pass this onto my wife for the info.
Love this post and you made me laugh! I suffer from LBL!
Thank you for the information. Thankfully, I am okay, but I know more likely than not, it will become an issue.
