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.
I don’t really think about it one way or another. It’s a fact of life that everyone knows.
I think it is becoming less taboo, but it is still not something you talk about with strangers
I think it is far less taboo these days… which is a good thing! We shouldn’t be embarrassed or bothered by things that happen!
I think it is still taboo because it is embarrassing for the person who has bladder control issues, so no one really talks about it, at least not that I’ve heard anywhere.
It isn’t as taboo as it used to be.
I have a big problem discussing this even with my doctor so I think it’s taboo but I wish it weren’t.
I think it is still a taboo subject although it shouldn’t be because it’s a pretty common issue as we get older.
I would think in the general public it is taboo simply because as a woman, or a man such as I am, we don’t want to appear, or be judged as, less than what is considered “Norm”.
I think it’s more out in the open than it was however that may be just on TV and not in real life.
It is totally taboo. I worked for a clinic that did Physical Therapy for women who had bladder issues, and I was amazed by how many women have issues, and how few had reached out for help. I think we, as women, tend to just deal with things and not seek help or even advice. There are so many things that can help, I am glad you are starting the conversation.
I don’t think this is a taboo subject anymore. Besides commercials, women talk about it more.
it is definatly out in the open.. Y not
I think it’s still taboo? Although, through edit less so in the last couple years.
I don’t think it is as out in the open as it should be. I wonder if I am alone in my issues all the time! It would be nice to have more information and for it to be more of an open conversation and not so discreet. Thanks so much!! 🙂
LOL Love the picture.I think it is an open topic pretty much anymore!
I think it’s subject that’s become more open in the last few years but in some places it’s still taboo to speak about.
I don’t think it’s as taboo as in days gone by, but I think it could be a bit less advertised.
I think it’s become less taboo over the years.
I don’t think it would bother me to go out and buy these.. I look at it like– I have always bought tampons and/or maxi pads.. Only difference to me is — normally it means that I am getting older if I am wearing the ‘Always Discreet Bladder Protection Pads’.. The part of ”getting old” bothers me more…
I don’t think it’s really taboo as much as i’ve heard people talking about it.
