Laughing is totally a different ball game when you have this issue. It’s about to get really personal on the blog guys, but it’s something that the NEEDS to be talked about. I have it, and to show I am not afraid to talk about this I’m dropping my pants. Not an exhibitionist just trying to let you know you aren’t alone. Read this before watching the videos, it might just save your pants.
You might be wondering why I am talking about funny videos and peeing your pants. It’s not just a common saying about laughing really hard, come to find out after you have a baby it’s something that actually starts to have a little TRUTH to it!
See one of the great little tidbit they don’t tell you about motherhood is that it can make you pee yourself. I’m not talking a “laugh so hard you peed” kinda thing. I’m talking about the slow, annoying, drippy faucet kind of pee yourself. There was no giant memo on that little gem in the new mommy brochure. That’s probably because you were already so crazed with fear about the idea of pushing a watermelon out of a lemon that they didn’t want to let you know laughing, exercising, or just standing up may never be a dry experience again.
You guys know how much I love to laugh at inappropriate things, so when I started noticing bladder leakage 3 years ago it was not so funny.
I started to notice it when I exercised or walked for long periods of time. It was a little more damp down below more than normal. For a while I was in denial because I was too young to possibly have a leaky bladder. (Say it isn’t so!) As time went on, I noticed that it was appearing when I was holding it in too long or when I laughed sometimes. Soon it was often enough that I decided to look up some info.
In my cruising the world wide web, the answer was there blaringly on the screen. Having children is a lead cause for bladder leakage in women under 40. At first, this did not make me a happy camper. I was too young to have a leaky bladder, this isn’t happening to me. Nevertheless I decided to talk to my doc about it.
The first thing the doc suggestion out of the gate was surgery. After seeing all the “bladder mesh” lawsuit commercials on TV this gal was NOT going that route, so I had to figure out other options. That’s where products like Depends save the day. Having something absorbent on has really helped me feel more comfortable during the day.
Depends is not only super reliable, they are doing an AWESOME campaign creating #underawareness that over 12 million people under the age of 35 experience bladder leakage! That’s a whole army of awesome people like you and me that sprinkle when they (laugh, cough, party hard) insert life moment here :).
Tons of people are joining the fight on social media and snapping shots of themselves in their Depends for all the world to see. The cool part is for every photos shared, Depend is donating a $1 up to $3 million dollars for the next three years to charities that fund research and education on bladder leakage.
