Fill in the Blanks of your Life and Do What You Love Again!
Working for the weekend
Many of you may not know but Walt and I have a few rental properties. When one renter moves out and before another renter moves in, we clean the place from top to bottom. You’d swear the place was new!
All that bending, lifting and squatting of the renovation helps keep us young and fit but it’s not easy on a condition of LBL (Light Bladder Leakage). LBL is that annoying bladder leakage that can result when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise…and yes, even when you work!
Laughing away my cares
I will go a long way for a good laugh. Laughing just makes me happy. As a result, I never miss the opportunity for a great photo oppt (luckily Walt is always willing to oblige by taking my photo.)
It’s easy to laugh at yourself in ridiculous situations but one situation is no laughing matter. LBL! Laughing is a LBL trigger for many women and can often cause the smile to fade fast in public and social settings.
Spring is here and summer isn’t far behind!
Warmer temperatures of spring are urging Walt and I outside. We love to explore downtowns with great architechture or walk a park wherever we are.
Walking doesn’t seem like very strenuous exercise, but whether you are breaking into a jog, running a marathon or walking a local county park LBL is a real issue for many women. In fact, 1 in 3 women experience LBL.
Fill in the Blanks
Due to LBL and the embarrassing moments that result, many women have lost their confidence to do the things they love in the spring, summer or any time of year. Retreat is the chosen option of some women causing them to create BLANKS in their life where activities used to be.
Some techniques to fill those blanks and get on with your life in confidence while dealing with LBL include:
- Pack a “just-in-case” bag (with underwear and pants) should a leak happen away from home
- Make a practice of emptying your bladder before doing any activities that tend to bring on a leak
- Stash your Poise* Impressa* Bladder Supports in your purse or insert them before leaving for your activity
Poise* Impressa* Bladder Supports
Poise* Impressa* Bladder Supports can be found in the Adult Care Aisle at your local Walmart. So you can pick them up while shopping for all your regular groceries…no special trip needed.
What are Poise Impressa Bladder Supports?
Designed for the temporary management of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in women, Poise Impressa Bladder Supports are a non-absorbent, removable product that helps stop bladder leaks before they happen. Available over the counter, Poise Impressa Bladder Supports are inserted into the vagina like a tampon to gently lift and give support to the urethra. This added support to the urethra helps prevent urine from leaking.

Blog Note: Today’s “Fill in the Blanks of your Life” discussion is sponsored.
Poise has had such a good reputation for quite some time now. Thank you for spreading awareness on LBL – I feel like it’s a topic that many people would love more information on but would feel too embarrassed talking about it.
I’m so excited for the warmer weather. I can’t believe that my daughters are almost done with school already. It’s so hard to believe how quick the year has gone by already.
This is GREAT! Thanks for sharing these goals and your accomplishments!
I am so happy that you have embraced this topic. In a few short weeks, I will turn 50 and LBL is a real thing! This isn’t the most pleasant topic of conversation but it is one that can’t be ignored either.
I’ve started having a problem with leakage and not making it to the bathroom quickly enough so I should really try this product.
I know all about LBL. Trust me, that’s an issue I have dealt with since the birth of my daughter. I feel your pain.
I’ve recently started having a problem with this. I need to look into Poise, because I hate how suddenly it can happen at times.
I have never even heard of this before. It is quite sad.
I only have an issue when I have a really bad cold and can’t stop coughing. This is a great product and one that I will look into when needed.
What great tips. I know that Summer will be here before we know it and now is the time to just live and have some fun. These tips are perfect for LBL… thanks for sharing
Love your blog!
Great tips! I would also add to check with your doctor to see if your LBL is reversible!
I am glad this product is helping you to live normally. Looks like a discreet product too!
Such a great reminder. I’m not planning on letting this stop me!
The only Time I have a really bad problem with LBL is when I’m exercising it drives me absolutely insane. I have to check this out see if it would work well and exercising.
I love these tips. I have a friend with LBL, and she hardly ever does the things she used to. I’ll have to send this her way.
Not leaving anything blank right now, but that’s great that you have rental properties. I’ve been looking around currently for a house or condo to buy.
(PS, love the Sandy pic at Meijer!)
LBL prevents me from dancing. I went to hear a band with my SIL, and we danced for a little while. I forgot to wear a liner, and was so embarrassed to find that I leaked a little! I haven’t wanted to go back because of it.
I don’t have LBL, but I have a few friends in my zumba class who groan every time a song with jumps comes on 🙂
I love the Poise Impressa products. I also suffer from LBL and I use both the liners and the bladder supports. I work out at the gym and you’ll never find me working out without them.
