Laugh. Live. Leak?
Today’s discussion of Poise Impressa Bladder Supports is brought to you by Socialstars and Poise. #LadiesWithPoise
Why was the Hoover Dam built?
Recently, I visited the Hoover Dam with Walt, my father, and my aunt and uncle. It was such a beautiful day to catch all the vistas from the Dam. While some of us had been to the Hoover Dam before, none of us had ever taken the tours to explain why the Hoover Dam was built. Through the course of the day, we realized the dam was a tremendous solution to a long standing problem. People wanted to irrigate low lying plains, known as low desert areas, without suffering from flooding and the battle over water. The United States government realized that controlling the mighty Colorado River and hence the building of the dam was part of the solution.
A deserved solution
Bladder leakage is a real, frustrating but common problem that affects 1 in 3 women. Trigger points for bladder leakage include coughing, laughing, exercise (even walking) and sneezing. It seems that women should be able to have products that are designed to help with this issue. Much like the Hoover Dam was a tremendous solution to a long standing problem, women deserve a solution to their light bladder leakage problem.
Poise* Impressa* Bladder Supports is such a solution. The product is designed to help women with bladder leakage. Inserted into the vagina like a tampon, Poise Impressa Bladder Supports gently lift, or support, the urethra to help stop unexpected leaks. Poise Impressa Bladder Supports help women change the conversation about bladder leakage from one of a taboo subject to a normal one where women can talk about it with others who are most likely experiencing it too.
Poise Impressa Bladder Supports: Features that help you laugh not leak…
The Hoover Dam has many different features which enable the dam to perform its designed task to provide a controlled water supply to 7 states. Poise Impressa Bladder Supports also have features which help women to address their light bladder issues:
- Available in three sizes that adapt to the unique internal shape of each woman’s body–try the Impressa Sizing Kit to find the size that works
- Designed to stop leaks before they happen
- Prevent leaks up to 8 hours
- Safe, comfortable and effective
When building the Hoover Dam, many hours were spent discussing a adequate solution but it was the communication that brought the project in 2 years early and under budget. In the same light, women should be able to have normal conversations around light bladder leakage such that they can consider solutions that work for them.
Solutions are important to reducing frustrations whether the Hoover Dam, an engineering marvel, constructed over 80 years ago or the revolutionary, new Poise Impressa Bladder Supports – the first over-the-counter internal product designed to help stop leaks before they happen. Solutions help to relieve worry and allow experiencing a renewed sense of freedom and confidence to enjoy active, fulfilling lives.

Lisa Jacqueline Lewis says
Great conversation to have! My mom would have appreciated these Poise support! And I’m getting close, real close! Love the dam photos and symbolism!

Yes bladder leakage happens to woman as they get older. Due to prior child birth and weak bladder issue. So it something we all can expect later in life . It needs to be talked about being it is a fact of life for many people.

We went to hoover dam this spring and my poor mother (she’s almost 80) could have totally used these!! Trying to find a bathroom was brutal!
Tonya C says
What a great post and way to get the conversation going on bladder leakage. When I was pregnant this was a problem for me. Funny how no one tells you that little side effect of pregnancy!
Michelle S says
I would have never thought the two topics to be related! Excellent links from the dam to protection.
Tiffany Cruz says
It’s totally time. It has been time for a while now. I like that women are opening talking about this subject without feeling ashamed.
Rosey says
Those are some amazing pictures. And I agree, it’s silly to have a stigma attached to something that is oh so very common
Chloe Marchant says
So true! Bladder leakage is nothing to be ashamed of!
Sabrina @ Dinner, then Dessert says
It can be so embarrassing to have leakage! Having the extra support would be such a help!
Onica {Mommy Factor} says

The view surrounding the Hoover Dam is so beautiful. Poise makes quality products that really work when they are needed.
Mary Larsen says
I love the honest conversation on this – YES, we should be able to talk about these things! Thank you for bringing this up. I love the symbolism.
Stacie says
Women shouldn’t be embarrassed to talk about bladder leakage. It happens to many women. Poise has always made great products. I’m not at this stage yet but if ever I am I will be looking at Poise.
Janis @MommyBlogExpert says
What a clever post to talk about Poise. Your photos of the Hoover Dam are spectacular, makes me feel like I am there.
Kristi says
A great post and a great comparison. It is time to bring up the subject, especially since it is very common with women as they age.
Ann Bacciaglia says
It is important to talk about LBL. I am so happy there are more products available for women who struggle with it.
Danielle says
I’ve quit being embarrassed about talking about many things we as humans go through. Some things happen that can’t necessarily be controlled and as embarrassing as they may be, I know I’m not the only one going through them. It’s always nice to be able to have a convo with someone else, though, who is experiencing the same thing.
Dawn Nieves says
Love these pictures! The Hoover Dam is on my list of places to see but I love that you’re bringing awareness to this. Sounds like a great product!
