Let’s Discuss Sensitive Bladders Ladies: #PeeHappens and You Are NOT Alone! #NoBigDeal

Although this post is sponsored for Always Discreet through my relationship with the Quality Blue Community, all opinions are my own. I received compensation in exchange for writing this review.

When I received the opportunity to work with Always Discreet on the #PeeHappens Twitter Party, I knew women everywhere might be apprehensive to share their own personal stories. For this reason, I thought it was very important to spread the word during National Bladder Health Awareness Month, and show women who experience bladder leaks that they’re not alone. As women, society often places a lot of pressure on us to constantly be glam or dainty. Living with all of that pressure, we are often discouraged from opening up the forum on taboo topics like maintaining proper bladder health or how to manage a sensitive bladder. With over 40 million women over the age of 40 in the United States alone with sensitive bladders, this is a topic that definitely needs to be discussed openly. The fact is that we’re all going to get older – aging should be exciting and something you embrace. Issues, such as having a sensitive bladder, as well as other changes that happen to our bodies as we age, shouldn’t hold us back.

Since having a sensitive bladder is seen as such a taboo topic, many women are embarrassed to discuss the issue even with their doctors. In fact, so many women avoid talking about their symptoms that it can take an average of six and a half years to get diagnosed, and eight out of 10 women are using the wrong protection. It’s time for women to start talking about this taboo topic and take better control of their bladder health.

New Always Discreet was designed specifically for women with sensitive bladders, providing incredible comfort, protection, discretion and odor control with a full line of pads, liners and underwear. Always Discreet pads are 40 percent thinner and absorb 2x more than women usually need. That’s very important, because when you’re wearing a pad, you want to be comfortable, and not constantly feel like you’re wearing a pad, lol… the joys of being a woman! 😉

Here Are A Few Tips To Help Manage Your Sensitive Bladder

1. Watching what you eat and drink can help; limiting alcohol and caffeine intake will ease symptoms.

2. Keeping a bladder journal/diary can be a good reference for you and your doctor to identify triggers; take note of what you eat/drink and each time you urinate.

3. Ladies, keep doing those pelvic floor muscle exercises. The Urology Care Foundation recommends performing up to 45 contractions twice a day, with each squeeze lasting 5 seconds at a time.
