The saying goes that good things come in small packages. This was definitely true when Big B proposed and when we picked up the key to our first home.
For women who live with light to moderate bladder leakage, Poise® Impressa delivers big protection in a very small, discreet package. And it’s what you can’t see that’s most impressive.
Impressa Bladder Supports are comfortably inserted into the vagina with an applicator, just like a tampon. Voilà — only you know it’s there.
And before you ask why the heck someone would want to put something inside her body instead of just using a pad or liner, think for a minute about all of the occasions where a pad or liner might not be the right option. Sure, you can sport a bikini with a thin Poise pad, but what happens when you get in the water? Think about swimming and other watersports. At the spa when you’re relieved of your skivvies. Even high-impact exercise, like running, isn’t always comfortable with a pad or liner.

I get it — you’re comfortable with a pad or liner. But there are times you might want a break from them: an elegant night out in your LBD. Busting a move on the dance floor during a GNO. And more.
Available over the counter, Poise Impressa helps support women in all the right places by placing pressure on the urethra to help stop unexpected leaks. That’s right — no leaks. It can be worn comfortably and safely for up to 12 hours in any 24-hour period. Plus it’s super easy to use, at home or on the go!
Impressa Bladder Supports are designed to help most women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (a.k.a. SUI), meaning they leak urine when they laugh, cough, sneeze, dance or exercise. (Um… check, check, check, check and check.)
After spending some time with Impressa, I’d say the biggest question for me and my testers has been “What size should I use?” There are three different sizes rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This is obviously a good thing, because our ladybits come in all shapes and sizes, right?
For your first try, I’d recommend getting the Impressa Sizing Kit, which has all three sizes in one box to help women find their perfect internal fit.
You’ll know you found the right size for you when there are few to no leaks. It might take some trial and error, but my testers agree that THEY WORK.
So, if you’ve got a big night on the town planned or you’re about to hit the waves and you’re looking for a way to comfortably and discreetly help stop leaks before they happen, Impressa Bladder Supports from Poise could be your perfect solution.
Don’t forget to grab an Impressa coupon before you go shopping, and be sure to tell me in the comments which occasion you think would be most Impressa-worthy for you.

I have no idea how this is suposed to work when we pee out of our urethra, not our vagina
Mommy Gearest says
It doesn’t go all the way up like a tampon – it’s just inserted and puts pressure on the urethra to prevent the leaks. 🙂

That is fucking amazing. Unreal. Seriously, I cannot believe this.
Mommy Gearest says
LMAO – I know. It’s crazy that there’s a product like this that can actually do what it claims it can do.

That is really neat. It’s come along way since the pads.
Mommy Gearest says
Huge advancement, right?! I still love my Poise pads, but it’s nice to know these are available for the occasions when pads aren’t the ideal choice.
