Stress Urinary Incontinence & Swimsuits ~ Live Life, Go To The Beach!
I suffer from Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). SUI is the leakage of urine brought on by sneezing, laughing, coughing, dancing, and exercise. If you suffer from SUI it might cause you to feel embarrassed, perhaps isolate yourself, or limit your work and social life, especially exercise and leisure activities. I know I have almost missed out on fun activities in my life from the fear of a leakage.
Example….
This past weekend I was on a promotional trip to the Destin / Fort Walton Beach area in Florida. I was super excited for this trip!! Then, I realized the itinerary called for us to take a ferry ride to a private beach. Most of you are thinking, “Oh, that sounds awesome!” I might have also thought that but, if you are like me and suffer from SUI a beach trip might put you into panic mode.
My thinking….
Okay, this is a great opportunity but…. I have to put on a swimsuit in my hotel room. Then, walk down to the ferry and ride the ferry to the private beach that has no restrooms. I need a pantyliner on for the walk to the ferry and ride to the beach. Once I am on the beach there is no restroom for me to take the pantyliner off. What if I want to swim? So, I can’t wear a pantyliner. What if I sneezing, laughing, or coughing on the way there!
Solution….
I packed Poise Impressa Bladder Supports! They are a soft flexible, internal device with a non-absorbent outer cover, designed for the temporary management of SUI. You can exercise and swim while using them! Watch this video on the Poise Impressa home page that gives a great explanation of how to use them and how they work.
I found them at my local CVS and before you head out grab a $1 off the Poise Impressa Starter Kit printable coupon for CVS. I am thinking most stores might have them on the adult care/bladder control aisle but, mine was one aisle over on the side-end cap.
How to Use The Poise Impressa Starting Kit….
You need to start with the Poise Impressa Sizing Kit pack.
Since the size of the product is not about how much you leak or how much you weigh, the Sizing Kit will get you started. The size is about the best internal fit for your body.
Poise Impressa is inserted like a tampon. Start with Size 1, and if you still leak, move to size 2, then size 3 if necessary.
Step 1: Start with size 1, insert the Bladder Support just like you would a tampon.
Step 2: The non-absorbent Bladder Support expands to support the urethra once inside.
Step 3: If you still experience leaks, then progress to size 2. Repeat until you’ve found your perfect internal fit.
Step 4: To remove, pull on the string and dispose of the bladder support in the trash.
Step 5: After using the Sizing Kit to discover your perfect fit, you can advance to a 10-count pack with the size that best suits your needs.
You can wear Poise Impressa Bladder Supports for up to 8 hours in a 24 hour period. Next, I am sure you are wondering if you have to remove it to use the bathroom. The answer, is no. You can use the restroom normally without having to take out the Poise Impressa. One thing you should know, is that while Poise Impressa may look and function like a tampon it does not absorb leaks because it is designed to help prevent them. Do not wear them if you are pregnant or during your period.

I’ve never thought of anything like this for bladder leakage before. Thanks for telling me about it.
I would love to go to Mexico to snorkel!
I’d love to take a day off and go sightseeing somewhere in Southern California!
I have been using Poise for the last year, and no other bladder incontinence products work as well as Poise!!! Thank You!
I could enjoy hiking more with these.
Definitely enjoy life! Don’t let anything stop you from living life and having fun!
A solution for those long day at the beach.
This sounds like a great product thank you for sharing with us.
I love going to the beach as well and hope to go later in the year.
My initial thought was to take a swim in the ocean.I am not sure how a tampon would help. If it does, go for it.
Going to the water park in Utah with my kids and then the pool is so much easier with these products–No worries ever. Thanks!!
This sounds like a great product for all the women who have a bladder control problem but just want to get on with their lives!
Thank you for sharing this great product and now to enjoy the days at the pool and the walks in the evenings.
I would be able to walk through any store I wanted without having to do a start and stop or take breaks. This will be a great advantage for extra long shopping trips around the holidays!
Thanks for posting
I am post menapausal and I am having a little problem with this if I had these I would go awinmming more because I love to smim
So, the insert doesn’t stop leaks but it supports the urethra, right?
sky diving for me
I want to try these pads out. I am looking forward to a beach adventure soon.
Interesting concept. Glad I don’t need them right now.
I thought swimming was something I would have to give up!
I am glad that I do not have these problems. I thank you that if I ever do, I know e=where to turn.
This sounds like a much better option to the standard pad. Thanks for sharing such a personal experience.
I’m glad you had a great time. I also appreciate that you have the courage to talk about this. Some people would be to o embarrassed to bring this to the attention of strangers. Thank you!
This is a wonderful idea for bladder leakage, I didn’t even know that this form of leakage protection.
My next adventure is fencing.
I would go hiking in the mountains.
Taking a flight to a distant city.
I wonder if these are available in Ireland? I’ve only ever seen them online and my GP has only ever advised pelvic floor exercises.
I think I might try this. Any side effects? I know that it would be a good solution for amusement parks that have a combo of water and rollercoaster rides, because it’s hard to switch around when my son is in a hurry to ride them all. We live in Utah and go to Lagoon.
