Thanks to Poise for sponsoring Rookie Moms today.
In our early 20s, “I’m gonna pee in my pants!” is something we shriek with glee when overwhelmed with laughter, and usually it’s a statement of hyperbole. Later, and for many women, post kids, peeing in one’s pants is a more literal threat, triggered not just by hilarious good times with friends, but rather by coughing, sneezing, or exercise. And that sucks.
1 in 3 women experience light bladder leakage (LBL), not just while pregnant, but forever more. “Black pants are your best friend,” one mom told us.
But a lot of women don’t want to talk about this. Or at least don’t want to talk about it on Facebook where their brother-in-laws might see their comments.
So let’s do this right here.
The Poise brand of pads, which are designed specifically for bladder leakage, not periods, has joined forces with us (and with the far more famous mom Brooke Burke-Charvet) to help start the conversation about LBL.
Our girlfriends are not judging us for our bladder strength, and moms gotta be honest with each other. So get it out there: Friends don’t let friends use period pads for bladder leakage.

If you have been dealing with occasional incontinence or bladder control issues, talk to your doctor. This is a common problem and there may be remedies for you. One pregnant mom told us she is doing physiotherapy, and it’s working wonders for her bladder control and pelvic pain.

Or you could go see a pelvis physiotherapist and not leak. But I guess that message doesn’t sell pads.
Hi Cheryl, Is your suggestion the same as this one that Whitney mentioned: “One pregnant mom told us she is doing physiotherapy, and it’s working wonders for her bladder control and pelvic pain”? If it is different, I’m curious to hear more details.
What you really should do is get diagnosed. Women usually wait more than 6 years from their first instance before seeking help. Then from there, find a solution. I used a physiotherapist and it helped immensely. I also started using Confitex underwear (its super pretty and LBL friendly) and my problem is mostly solved. AND I don’t have to wear pads.
