Poise Impressa Incontinence Bladder Support for Women, Bladder Control, Size 1, 8 Count (Packaging May Vary)

I actually bought these to use as a pessary device when my prolapse suddenly worsened until I can find a new GYN and discuss more permanent options. It was just so distended that I was aware of it all day and made me very uncomfortable. After a couple of weeks of almost daily use, it seems to be less pronounced when I’m not using it.As an added bonus - I had no idea something like this even existed for bladder leaks. I have stress incontinence that is only problematic when jumping, usually only when 2 feet hit the ground at once but sometimes when running too. I usually just wear a liner when I think I might have an issue. After testing it at home for this purpose it seems to work very well! No more pee pads for me!!You insert it just like a tampon. It has more of a formed shape and feel than a tampon does. Once inserted I don’t feel it at all and only remember it’s even there because of the string hanging down. Unlike a tampon it’s also non absorbent. I googled just using a tampon to help with my issue but that is to be avoided if not needed for a menstrual cycle. A tampon’s absorbency when not needed can lead to TSS.My only complaint is that the sizing kit is not quickly available. I think I saw one but wanted to start using the product immediately. Of course size 3 works best for me and that’s the size I bought last after buying the other 2. As they aren’t cheap, I’m just trying to use those up on days that I am not as active.I also wish these were available in stores. I don’t mind buying them in Amazon, but I had no idea they even existed until googling my issue in a panic one weekend. I’m certain there are tons of women that could use these for one purpose or another. If these were available at grocery & drug stores with the other Poise items more women would discover them.

Much to my surprise these really work. My bladder leakage has gotten to a point where I leak if I am walking or doing anything so pretty much unless I’m sitting still. With these I don’t leak a drop. I started with size 2 and that is working for me. The only thing is that I know these can’t be a long term “cure” for me since i have sensitive skin and I’m afraid to wear these every day. I think surgery is my only option but for now these will help a lot.

I was desperate. I'm 57 years old and have such an incontinence problem from birthing my children. I had a cruise coming up and would be doing a lot of walking and swimming. I thought I'd give these a try. This product made me feel much more safe going out without a pad on. Honestly, it's not 100%, but I was able to make it work and it did make a difference. They are not hard to use - just like inserting a tampon. You can leave them in for 12 hours. No problem with removal - just like a tampon. I will use these again when I run a 5k, play basketball with my 15 year old, take a long walk with my dog. My only complaint is that they are so expensive, so I cannot afford to use them every day. Incontinence is such a huge thing for women that I cannot believe that a company doesn't want to make their life changing product affordable for every woman, every day. If these were more affordable, I would use one every day. Really a great, sigh-of-relief product.

SoMy GYN suggested these. I am 60yrs old and size 1 n 2 are not working for me! Very VERY uncomfortable to wear!!!!! I do not recommend for older women!!!! Painful. I was so excited to try this as an alternative to surgery but now so disappointed. 😔 Why did you pick this product vs others?:Because my GYN suggested it to me. Size:2 and 1Thickness:too thick both sizes!!

It is a good product. Not what I was looking for.

Literally life changing. Buy these.3 kids, many gyno appts. later, I felt so stuck knowing I always had to be careful with consuming liquids or making sure I was near a restroom. I’ve been frustrated and researched these. First time using them, not one leak for 10 hours. Worked all day, forgot I was even wearing this (totally comfortable) and was the most confident I’ve been in YEARS.

My doctor recommended that I try this for the times I lose a little bladder control when laughing, sneezing, jumping, stretching etc. I had to buy the beginner box first to figure out the size I needed, then buy another box of that size. They are placed internally just like a tampon, and you can wear them for about 12 hours at a time. Occassionally, I'll still have "leak-through" that drips down the string, leaving a wet spot, but at least it helps me with the feeling of urgency, and also helps keep me dry when sneezing & laughing. Sometimes I feel crampy after 8-10 hours though. They came in a box of 21 which isn't even enough for 1 month, so I only use them when I'll be on a long trip, and I'm still looking for something that won't break the bank for daily use.

Great find
