Poise Impressa Incontinence Bladder Support for Women, Bladder Control, Size 2, 21 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.

excelente product!!!! I can't leave without it, it does its job, hardly even know is there, super comfortable I highly recommend it

Works amazingly

Do you leak every time you laugh, sneeze, cough, or jump? Leak no more with these Impressa bladder supports. I use these when ever I have a wicked cough. They are easy to use- same as inserting a tampon. Instead of having absorbent cotton like a tampon - these open up once they’re inserted - like an umbrella and it puts gentle pressure against your urethra to prevent leakage. With these- you don’t have to wear bulky pads or leak through a thin panty liner. These come in 3 sizes depending on how much leak protection you need. The only con to these are that they’re a bit expensive to be using everyday.

I have used this item for many years. It has worked, for me. Yet, It's been out of stock, everywhere. I contacted the manufacturer, today. Kimberly-Clark. Here is their response: "Thanks for your e-mail about our Poise Impressa Bladder Support for Women. We're sorry, but we are unable to provide you with a source of supply because we no longer manufacture this product. This business decision was not easy since we knew that there may be loyal customers who would be disappointed. We value you as our customer. Perhaps one of our Poise products could meet your needs. We appreciate your interest in Kimberly-Clark." So, there it is.

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.

This product is literally life changing. I have struggled with incontinence for a few years since giving birth. I've done pelvic floor therapy, medication & was beginning to consider surgery. My incontinence occurs when I am active playing sports or jumping etc. This product has eliminated my leaks and gives me a better quality of life.

Simply; the edges of the silicone interior base/support were rough enough that there was some blood when I took it out. It is not very comfortable, and worked minimally related to its purpose. Other women might have a good experience, but one day was enough for me!
