When Taking Photos, Introduce Laughter
I wrote about my experience with Poise Microliner as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #SAMInYourPants
As a lifestyle/fashion blogger, my husband takes a lot of pictures of me. Many of the shots, you never get to see. Thank goodness! One of his best techniques is to get me laughing like the shot above. This approach usually leads to a great relaxed shot like this:

Laughter is a trigger
You see, laughter is a trigger for me. It makes me goofy, relaxed and allows me to pose more naturally. Laughter helps me to be less inhibited and as a result enables us to get a great shot.
Laughter, unfortunately, also is a trigger for light bladder leakage for myself and many other women, especially those over 45. I get irritated at having to change my underwear several times a day and never being able to wear the same pair of pants twice! You know how it goes, one minute you are laughing your butt off with your family and the next minute you realize that all that laughter has triggered leakage.
Time to discuss this important topic — Light Bladder Leakage
I put off writing this post, as I was unsure how to tackle it. I found it pretty embarrassing to discuss my issues with you. Then I realized, maybe by discussing the topic, I could help others. Once I turned the focus off of myself, discussing this issue became much easier. Light bladder leakage is so real for so many woman yet, not surprisingly many women won’t or don’t talk about it…ever. I’ll bet YOU or someone you know has experienced light bladder leakage over the course of their life, right?
Laughter Protection
I have recently discovered the Poise Microliner. It’s the thinnest liner available in the light incontinence category but seems to be just what I need, as a women over 45, when the giggles hit. I found that the super absorbent material (SAM) that the liner is made from was adequate to save my delicate lingerie and pants or tights from unfortunate leakage. Poise Microliner is so small that it will fit right in your pocket, backpack or even tiny evening bag.

Yes I must say in this day and age laughter is important . It makes us feel better. And also laughing to much may be a issue for some of us woman. Leakage is the main issue ,it comes as we get older like it or not so we need to use protections sometimes.
Great for us moms in our 3rd trimesters as well ! 🙂
Good post! This is such a serious topic and an important one. You really put a friendly, funny, approachable spin on it. Connecting with your readers is much like connecting with the person you are photographing. Make them comfortable and relaxed, then, get down to business.
You and Poise are the best. Taking seriously this problem of so many women over 45 and helping them see that they are not alone. So many others are in the same boat. We take LBL as a fact of life and get on with our enjoying life.
Oh man. You are awesome!! Thank you for making light of an issue that can be a big confidence destroyer with many!! You are so right that the best shots are when you are laughing and everyone likes to laugh comfortably 😉

LBL can happen at any time and having the security of a pad to catch that leakage will help all ladies be more confident in going about their daily routines and outings. Thanks so much for the link for a free sample of Poise Microliner.
