Last year, Poise brand introduced Poise Impressa Bladder
Supports, a non-absorbent internal product designed to comfortably
help stop bladder leaks, pad-free. And this year, Poise brand,
continues its mission to help women find their Poise Moment - that
exact time when they stop letting leaks interrupt their lives and
reach for Poise – by focusing on the origin of where LBL starts:
the pelvic muscles.
To do so, Poise brand has partnered with two leading experts,
celebrity host, actress, and fitness enthusiast, Brooke Burke-Charvet, and women's health expert,
Dr. Jessica Shepherd, OBGYN, to help
the millions of women affected by Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
find the best solution for their lifestyle and body.
The duo will be sharing pelvic exercises and tips on how to
strengthen the pelvic floor, including:
- Practice Posture: Poor posture can lead to weak
abdominal muscles, which in turn weaken your pelvic floor muscles.
Next time you find yourself slouching in front of a computer,
practice what your mother always told you and sit up straight!
- Squat, but with precaution: Make sure your legs are
shoulder width apart and when squatting, watch your form. Make sure
your knees don't go over your toes and that you contract your
pelvic muscles during the squat.
- Kegels: Practice every squeeze of the pelvic muscles
(for up to 10 seconds), then release and relax for the count of
ten. Try to do this at least twice a day.
They'll also help women find the right products to manage their
LBL, like Poise Impressa Bladder Supports, which are available in
three sizes that comfortably fit the unique internal shape of each
woman's body. Starting with the Poise Impressa Sizing Kit, women
can find their personalized size that most comfortably and most
effectively helps stop bladder leaks.
With many still shying away from the conversation, Poise brand
is encouraging women to speak up, share their stories and have real
conversations about LBL, because talking about it is the first step
to finding a better solution.
"I talk to enough women to know I'm not alone – millions of
women experience this issue – it's a part of life! That's why I'm
continuing my work with Poise brand – the leader for light bladder
leakage – to help empower and encourage women not to let LBL hold
them back," said Burke-Charvet. "It's great that there are
solutions out there like Poise Impressa Bladder Supports so women
can go out and do the things they love – whether it's a Booty Burn
class, or dancing through the chaos of raising a family – without
worrying about leaks getting in the way."
For more than 20 years, Poise brand has been committed to
understanding women's evolving feminine needs and introducing her
to innovative, category-changing solutions that empower and give
her confidence.
"Our number one priority is to help women with LBL find a
comfortable, discreet and most importantly, effective solution that
they can depend on," says Rusty
Zaspel, Senior Brand Manager for Kimberly-Clark Poise
brand.
