Poise Impressa Incontinence Bladder Support for Women, Bladder Control, Size 3, 21 Count (Packaging May Vary)

These are the unsung heroes of womanhood. Whenever I cough, laugh, sneeze, jump, or do anything remotely athletic—well, you get the idea—these little marvels have saved me. I honestly don’t know how I could play my sport without them. Pads are bulky and annoying; these are comfortable, discreet, and actually do their job. No leaks. No stress. Just peace of mind. So thankful for the protection and freedom they give me.

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.

Finally! A solution that works! After giving birth, coughing, hard laughing, jumping, and jogging have been out of the question without serious pad protection. I’ve even had PT and $$$ injection procedures with my urologist that didn’t last more than a couple of hours. I currently have a cold with a cough and within 5 minutes of putting one of these in, I had a coughing fit and no leak!! None. I’m amazed! A few hours later and still no leaks - woohoo! I skipped the size fit kit and went straight to size 3. I can handle larger tampons okay and my leaking is pretty bad so I took the chance on size 3 after reading that many women didn’t have great results with size 1 or 2. Don’t wait. If you have this issue too, order immediately. I can’t believe I didn’t know about these before this week! I could have saved 7 years of misery. I will update my review if anything changes. Otherwise, my subscribe and save order has been submitted! :D

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

After having 4 kids my bladder is not the same, more so when I play volleyball. I hated wearing a poise pad as it always moved around while I was playing. Then I found these! What a game changer for me. These are simple to use, it's just like using a tampon. When I use these items no longer leak when I jump to spike or dive for the ball. It has allowed me to focus on my playing and not have to worry if I leak and smell like pee!! I always use these when I play a sport otherwise I would seriously walk away peeing my pants, even when I felt I had an empty bladder. In order to find out what size worked best for me I first purchased the one with all the sizes and size 3 works best for me.

I'm 42 and I had my 4th baby at age 40. My bladder went from bad to worse! I thought these would be a more "sexy" and less obvious way to help with my incontinence. Sadly these HUGE basically tampons were no match for my urge incontinence and amount of pee pee. Plus now that I'm in my 40s, there is less lubrication down there making insertion painful! I'm glad my husband still loves me wearing huge pee pee pads. It's so annoying and inconvenient. I worry about going out and not being able to find a bathroom in time. Once the flow goes, it doesn't stop! And there is no warning..it's like I feel the urge and have 5 seconds to pee or it just starts coming out! I love my 4th child, but God damn!!!!! He better grow up and take care of me because I sacrificed my last and final bladder control bringing him into this world! Hopefully in the words of the great Billy Madison, " You ain't cool unless you pee your pants!" 😂

These do help in stopping a sense of urgency and therefore in preventing leaks. But the quality varies so much. In some, the “plunger” ( much as in a tampon) works fine, but in others it is very hard to move. When this happens, the product is wasted. Also, why does the inserter have to be made of hard plastic? This is uncomfortable and not good environmentally. As a previous reviewer noted, when you get a defective one, the pointed edges can hurt. The idea of the product is good, but the product itself varies from very helpful to impossible to use.

I’m writing this review to share additional benefits to potential buyers. I looked for reviews from people with my exact circumstances but did not find them. I tried this because I am without insurance at the moment. I have been suffering terribly from pressure and discomfort from pelvic organ prolapse. But I won’t have insurance for a few more weeks. I have been almost incapacitated from the urge to constantly urinate. I am certain I also have a rectocele because I can only have a complete bowel movement by splinting vaginally with my finger. It’s absolutely terrible when my GI system is not in perfect balance. I’m not incontinent but I feel overwhelmed at the thought of not being able to be near a bathroom or have frequent access to one. Today I was miserable and decided to use the number 1 for the first time. Instant relief from the awful pressure. I can have a bowel movement normally. No stool trapping in the pocket of my rectocele. I instantly stopped having to frequent the bathroom to relieve the pressure in my rectum that can some days be almost constant. And the constant trips to the bathroom to urinate are under control. I actually feel like I can have a decent quality of life until I can see a doctor for treatment and perhaps surgery. I’m feeling hopeful that I might have my life back ahead of schedule. It feels just like the tampons I used long ago before my hysterectomy. I’m able to forget that it’s there and if I do notice it the feeling is still a huge improvement over what I would be experiencing without it. I think it will only be a temporary solution and maybe not needed every day. But if I was older, not sexually active and had no desire for surgery it would be a decent option.

Work well

As expected, not tried them out yet.

Fabulous item … why is this NOT available? Hopefully not discontinued

By what the title says I have incontinence now for 12 years & counting, I have had pills, through West Suffolk hospital {Bury St Edmunds} these failed, tried 300mls of injected botox {same stuff they put in your face} this failed, then had major bladder surgery had a clam operation under Addenbrookes in Cambridge, UK this failed and then had another 300 mls of injected botox which was 20 injections, this failed. I would and will try anything once. The sensation of passing urine well, I do not get this anymore until it's too late either a very wet pad or it's dripping down my leg. My incontience is all related to a spinal condition which I was born with which is called Spina Bifida Occulta. I already use catheters to use up the urthea to pass urine. Next operation is an urine bag attached to my body, it was only 2 yrs ogo when I went under the knife and drs are saying go under the knife again. Well it took a year for my body to heal and another year to me getting to me again, as I am disabled already. So through my catheter supplire I did my homework behind dr's back & tried a treatment. I wanted to see if these work. Well what have I got to loose? or gain? Drs at Addenbrookes attutude now is "don't want to give you any other treatments just in case it's another fail?" well what attuitude is that? My attuitude is DONT TRY DON'T KNOW, there is a simular product to this that I am chashing up but this other product is brand new on the market and only on prescription, so whilst waiting for my hospital appointment @ the end of July I thought I will try a simular product that I can buy on the market...and this product is simular so I thought what have I got to loose & ONE step ahead of the urolgy clinic. I do have stress and uriny incontience and thought this product could work and I always wet myself in the mornings and this was a "test" and all I got was another big, fat fail. I did buy size 1 and 3. Size 3 came first and my virgina walls are tight and this was painful. was painful removing it. Size 1 was a lot better but like i said I always wet myself in the mornings and this was the big "test" and all I got was a big fat fail. So this product does not work, so I can go back to the urology clinic and said I have tried these and don;t work, so it looks like I am facing more and major surgery again. I do like the thought and the design of these, non surgical, but like wearing a tampon but like wearing a tampon instead of collecting blood like a tampon does these press on the bladder and urthea walls so holding the leakage but I leaked heavy with one in!!!!!! do not recommend this product that is why it is two stars, postage was within a week, pretty good considering coming from the States.

This made me want to pee even more! So no this did not help! I fact I got a urine infection! How on earth can they charge so much! Waste of time and money
