    I was one of the lucky ones to be selected to test this product. I have had mild leakage on and off ever since I had my child, and as I have gotten older, it seems to have gotten worse! At first, I was a little shocked by the size of the package that I received, and was worried that the pads themselves would be too bulky and uncomfortable. Luckily, due to the hourglass shape, they were actually very comfortable to wear. The do not chafe the inside of my thighs as some rectangular shaped pads tend to do. The pads were very absorbent and kept me dry when I would have my "leakage' incidents. I like that they come individually wrapped and are easily portable. They do not show through clothing, and are so easy to use. This is a product that I highly recommend to anyone who suffers from mild to moderate bladder leakage, and is looking for comfort and absorbency.

    I received a package of Poise Hourglass Pads and was super excited to try them out. First off, I loved the packaging. The pack is pretty and feels very feminine. The pads are wrapped in cloth wrappers which I love because those plastic wrappers can really echo in a public bathroom, am I right?

    As soon as I put it on I noticed how comfortable it was and how well it hugged my body, hence the hour glass shape. I was expecting the pad to feel bulky but it didn't at all, just like wearing a thin maxi pad.

    I've had a bit of LBL in the past when working out or during some allergic sneezing fits. I did wear the pad to work out and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. I felt dry despite 'dribbling' a couple times. I usually would just wear pantyliners to stay dry and hope that it would hold up. With these pads, no need. You'll be dry and protected for sure.

    I'm not sure if I would buy this product because my LBL is few and far between but I've already recommended it to friends and family. They are a bit pricey but totally worth it!

    I am a 40 year old woman with three young children, so I absolutely have a problem with bladder leakage! These Poise pads fit the bill. I was a little intimidated by the size of them, but they are very comfortable and definitely keep you dry and also really help with odour. I would recommend these for women with at least moderate bladder leakage problems. I think I will keep trying these pads. Thank you for the opportunity to try them!

    I had the Medium Control Package and I love the fact that it has a pillow like feel. I know this is strange but I also like that it is not in a plastic package so everyone in the bathroom (Public restroom) knows you are opening a feminine product. The almost cloth like feel and look of the packaging is very nice. Regarding the effectiveness, I do agree that it should be a little longer as there were times that I found that it was not enough coverage for the security of the whole area needed. Over all I thought it was nicely shaped and the comfort level of the material was cushiony soft. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Thank you for the opportunity to test out these great pads.

    I have had problems with LBL for quite some time now, and it is not only embarassing but makes me very uncomfortable to go out for a long time in public, whether to university, work or on a date. After trying these pads, I can say that they made a big difference. They absorb like a dream and are great for my LBL. I feel much more confident while wearing them. My only concern was that they were a bit wide and felt big at first, but after a couple of days I got used to the feeling and love them!

    At first, I found these pads to be a little uncomfortable; they were too wide. However, after they were in position for awhile I did get used to them. I found that they are easy to use and quite effective. (I had been using maxi pads before but these Poise Pads are a better product for LVL.) I will be using these products from now on and would recommend them. My only criticism is that they are rather expensive, so I'll be stocking up when they go on sale.

    I definitely think this is a good product, it give you a great peace of mind to not worry about leakage. I did still have trouble forgetting that I was wearing a pad which would be my only complaint although they were very thin. Overall good product and I would buy it.

    I must have a bladder the size of a pea. I remember going to see a movie in a theatre with my boyfriend and having to leave several times throughout to deal with my LBL. No matter how much I went to the bathroom I always had a little leakage. I tried using pads and regular liners but they were always uncomfortable and didn't really absorb. I was excited to try these out when I got picked, although when I saw they were the size of a maxi pad I was a little offput. I liked how absorbant they are and they really weren't all that uncomfortable (don't get me wrong I still knew it was there). I definitely would like to try the liners as I only have mild LBL and think they would work better for my needs.

    Thank You for allowing me to try this product, I am 45 years old and a mother of 3, I have had bladder leakage since my last child, I did find that Poise hour glass pads were very effective, how ever I did find them to be a bit bulky. If I have to wear a pad everyday I don't want to feel like I am wearing one. Also the packaging is bulk as well, so I did not find them discreet to carry around. THe product I tried was for moderate leakage and I am wondering if I tried the light leakage if they would have been less bulky. Overall though I have to say the product certainly did what it was supposed to do. For now I am sticking to what I currently use and perhaps in the future I will try the liners or light leakage Poise Pads and see if I find them less bulky.

    i have some light bladder leakage since having a child and am now pregnant with number 2. got a chance to try this product through chickadvisor! i really liked the look and feel of the product it was much softer and nicer than regular menstrual pads. they were very comfortable to wear and not at all bulky. the absorbancy was great and it definately did the job it is suppose to. i found it doubled great for usage during that time of the month as well. overall a very high quality product. i find these very expensive in the stores but combined with the right sale and coupon i would be very likely to purchase it.
