Summertime comes with a lot of fun activities. From summer vacations, BBQs, and swimming, staying active & being outdoors is almost a given. 1 in 3 women experience light bladder leakage (or LBL for short), which can be exacerbated by health conditions, pregnancy, post-childbirth, or even a common UTI.  Poise has recently introduced the Poise Thin Shape Pads to encourage women to ditch their period pads for good.

Although I don’t have a problem with LBL, I know that it can definitely be a problem in my future, because it doesn’t take much- a sneeze, cough, laughing, and even exercise can cause LBL.

Poise encourages to #RecycleYourPeriodPad and instead of using them for light bladder leakage, DIY them into something else. I think it’s a little strange to make a DIY out of period pads, so I would recommend simply sticking to using your period pads for your period. Other ideas you can try: use a period pad to blot oil off of your face, wipe sweat off of your body, etc. In these hot summer days, you may even want to try to wear a pad when you’re not on your period in order to prevent chafing due to your summer activities (it’s happened to the best of us!).

If you suffer from LBL, you may want to give the Poise Thin Shape Pads a try, which lucky for you, Poise is giving away free samples!
