There are so many things I love about this time of year. The Christmas music, the excited kids, finding the perfect gifts for the people on my list and my favorite, the holiday get togethers. I love getting dressed up to go out and celebrate the season with friends and family. To be honest I love any excuse to get dressed up. Putting on a flattering dress, some spectacular heels and spending a little extra time on my hair just makes me feel confident.
I know that not every woman shares my zest for getting all dressed up and going out. For some women, well it’s simply not their thing. We all have different tastes and dresses and heels aren’t for everyone. But I also know that for some confidence comes in to play. Especially if bladder leakage is an issue for them. When’s the last time you had a conversation about bladder leakage? It’s not something that makes into regular conversation is it? Well maybe it’s time to change that. When you stop and realize that 3.3 million Canadians (that’s nearly 10% of the population) experience bladder leakage it might actually make you wonder why we aren’t talking about it more.
As with any topic that comes with stigma, the more we talk about it, and the more we understand it, the better. And I know talking about something so personal can be hard. But the good news is that we are starting to talk about it more and we’ve also come leaps in bound in terms of products to make dealing with bladder leakage easier and less embarrassing.
This is what bladder leakage protection looks like now. Are you surprised? Depend is the leader in this area and is committed to enhancing the lives of those with bladder leakage by offering dignified solutions that provide comfort, protections and confidence through innovation and design. The Silhouette Active Fit is one of their latest products. It offers moderate absorbency with a thin design that gives you trusted protection in a thin, comfortable design. Silhouette Active Fit has a lower rise and is available in black or beige to stylishly complement your wardrobe. You can find out more about all of the products the Depend brand has as well as product samples at www.underawareness.com.
So let’s keep talking about this. Let’s make sure women know that if they are dealing with bladder leakage they are not alone. This is not uncommon. Let’s spread the word that there are products, like Silhouette Active Fit, that are far more effective than using maxi pads, and more discreet and comfortable than the “old” bladder leakage products were. You can feel confident and in control. You can put on that favourite dress that you look at longingly every time you open the closet and wear it with confidence.
