Discretion: the quality of behaving in such a way as to avoid revealing private information
Practicing Discretion: Questions we all struggle with!
When you were younger (or even today), did you DIE when you had to purchase feminine care items? Did sneak these products on the shopping list so your mom or husband would have to buy them? If you had to buy them yourself, did you buy a massive cart full of other items, so no one would see? Did you pray that you wouldn’t run into a soul you knew, when you had “THAT ITEM” in the cart?
Well, it often feels the same when you are purchasing bladder protection products. Everyone seems to be walking with a hush though the aisle. Each person seems to want to find what they need, and get the heck out of there. It’s just so personal, definitely a situation that calls for some discretion. But these days, is a disguise really necessary?
Times are changing. You can be discreet and still be real!
When I first started talking about bladder leakage on my blog just a little over a year ago, other bloggers wouldn’t even retweet my tweets! I had several of them tell me “I don’t talk about THAT on my blog”. Now that brands, like Always Discreet, a discreet bladder protection product, have joined the conversation, the open discussion of bladder protection has become more acceptable. I have noticed that women bloggers and everyday women alike are much less hesitant to bring up the topic. Yes, most feel the topic still needs some discretion, but there is no need to disguise yourself in the grocery store or hide bladder protection products under a mass of groceries.
Bladder Protection is just another personal care item
Seriously, we all love to laugh, dance and celebrate, don’t we? And no matter what is going on with my body, I seriously would not want to stop any of those activities. Yet, laughing, dancing, and celebrating can serve as a trigger to those who need bladder protection. This is an issue when you use the newest line of bladder protection products from P&G Always:
- Always Discreet Liners — Absorbs 2X more than you may need* (*based on average US consumer usage)
- Always Discreet Pads–Up to 40% thinner* and absorbs 2X more than you may need**(*than the leading brand, **based on average US consumer usage)
- Always Discreet Underwear
The Always Discreet Liners work great for me. They are ultra-thin and neutralize odors instantly and continuously. Being individually wrapped, Always Discreet liners give me that discretion I need when I carry them in my purse or pocket. I can even use the wrapping from a new one to wrap up an old one for discreet disposal.

Do you think Bladder protection is a subject that is out in the open? Discreet? Taboo?
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
When I was younger (probably you also) the idea of putting any of this out there would be taboo. I think today we are more out in the open about bladder control but not to the degree that other feminine products have come out.
I use when I have a cold I cough I have an issue with wetting on myself so use them then
Since I have gotten older, I understand how you need extra help sometimes. These pads just help you be more confident that there will be no accidents.
I think that it is ok
After having my children I have needed liners. Many friends are also using them.
Having a baby made it impossible to look at a trampoline with anything but dread. When your kids are begging you to join them you can worry about being discreet or you can prepare in advance and join in!
I think the world is uncomfortable talking about it!
I think it pretty well out in the open..When I was pregnant I had a major problem when I laughed or coughed.
I feel it is becoming more out in the open but a lot of women are still embarrassed about it. As we age we worry more about remaining desirable and attractive and a lot of women fear openly discussing it as their significant other may be turned off. My hubby knows if I sneeze, laugh, get scared, etc…I’m probably peeing!
It is not talked about enough. Plenty of women have this problem
It’s a little embarrassing to talk about but I think it should be more because a lot of women go through it.
It is no secret that this is a problem for women. It is something to discuss, especially when there are products that can help us deal with it. It can be done discretely. It is nice that this wide variety of products is available for the degrees of severity that can exist. Most of us will need them some day, we should know what our options are.
I think it should be brought out in the open.. Millions of women have these minor and major bladder problems. Its good to know your not alone and there is help..
I think Discreet. It is very common but I believe it is a subject that people don’t tend to bring up because it is a private matter. Maybe discuss with my doctor or Mom but not others.
Nobody wants to talk about it. I buy these products for my 29 yr old daughter because she is embarrassed to buy them herself. In fact, it is not only used for bladder control but also because her periods are so bad that she needs something more absorbent especially at night. I have no issue buying a product that is needed but many people would rather order online in order to avoid the cashier or the person behind them watching what is in the cart.
I think it’s discreet but really should be more talked about.A lot of people have it.I don’t unless I have to tinkle and I sneeze.I’m going to be 50 on Thanksgiving so I know eventually I may need these.I know my daughter had it when she was pregnant.
It’s definitely not talked about enough,to many people are still old school
It is what it is and I think it is important to keep it real. This might not be the topic of the hour on Twitter, but guess what – just because we don’t talk about it, it is not going way
I use these liners. After pregnancy, it all went down hill. I keep these in my pocketbook at all times and proved to be helpful in so many circumstances!
I think after having a baby most women out there can relate to needing a little help, You are right though I hate going to get these! Always seemed a little embarrassing. This post makes me feel A LOT better about when I need to buy these.
