*I wrote about my experience with Poise Microliner as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #SAMInYourPants*
I am 33 weeks pregnant and I am not a fan of being 8 months pregnant at all! No seriously… between the back pain, the indigestion, the peeing every millisecond, and the light bladder leakage (LBL), I am just about all set with this pregnancy. However, I know I need to go through all of this and will not complain, because the end result will be my sweet baby girl, who I will have in my arms on July 7! While all the symptoms have been pretty bad, I think the worst is the LBL. Ladies, do you know what I am talking about? Thankfully, Poise released these microliners which have been my absolute savior the last few weeks and I am pretty sure I will continue to wear them way past my due date. I am totally not embarrassed to talk about this because so many women have LBL and struggle. I am sure those who suffer with LBL know how irritating it is to constantly change your underwear, which ultimately leaves you red in the face. Let Poise Microliners help you!
I am going to tell you a story of my embarrassing but normal LBL situation. Just a few weeks ago, I went to see Book of Mormon, which is hysterical. I laughed so much that I peed a bit in my pants. Again, I am not embarrassed to admit that part, but was slightly uncomfortable when I noticed my undies were a little wet. This was prior to starting to wear Poise, which has been a godsend to me! Seriously, when you are pregnant, you can leak over simply anything, but when you laugh, I can assure you that things can happen down there. I laugh.. I pee- it is as simple as that! And if I remember correctly, this can happen long after pregnancy. These are just some of the fun side effects of a pregnancy that could last a very long time!
While laughing is a trigger, so is exercising. I am the crazy girl who is still playing double tennis at 33 weeks and is walking/running 5Ks. The minute I go for that long serve, it causes an instant reaction and again I notice that I wet myself a bit. Goodness… I can’t even tell you how uncomfortable that is! I simply have no control and I hate it, but I will not give up exercise. It is simply not an option! It is funny because my girlfriend, who is at least 10 years older than me, always complains about exercising and leakage. I told her that the last few weeks, I have been wearing Poise and now she is a fan! Why deal with being uncomfortable?! It is so not worth it!

That is awesome. I am so thankful that I never had that problem, but it’s good to know there are things available to help!
Ever since I’ve had my son, I have had light bladder leakage. It’s so embarrassing and frustrating. I’m grateful for products like this to help.
Awe, you look so cute!!! Love that Kicking shirt! It’s so great that these super thin products are available.
I know TONS of friends that used Poise pads during their later months of pregnancy – such a vital thing to have on hand!!
You are totally rocking pregnancy.. leaks and all! These sound like a life saving product! So glad that they are getting all techy with these awesome new liners! We need them!
That second photo cracks me up, I remember that all too well when pregnant with the twins. That was rough!!
These sound like great liners to have. My sister is expecting now on her 4th, I will tell her about these!
After 5 kids this is a must, the bladder is just not the same!
Omgosh you are adorable! And yea, after 2 kids, my bladder is not the same!
Whatever it takes to get through pregnancy! Those babes like to sit on the bladder.
You might be having a little LBL issues but you’re SUPER adorable 8 months pregnant!
It’s nice to know that you have a product that can help you feel more confident up until your baby girl is born and beyond!
Pregnancy was definitely a challenge. thanks for the sample!
Pregnancy was a terrible time for LBL for me. I swear my kids just tried to bounce on my bladder.
shhhh your lbl secret is save with me
u are too cute…loved your post and my little secret…well i have SAM in my bathroom, too
You hit all the problem areas! (How CUTE are you in your maternity clothes!). I always love to see your twist
Oohhhh, I bet you need these for sure about now! I know when I was preggo I used to pee when the baby kicked my bladder!
After 5 kids these have become my best friend.
Those are so great they are so thin.
It is part of life, so why not talk about. Good to know there are ways to stay comfortable when there is a little leakage.
Even if you have a day where you didn’t pee, wearing Poise just in case is total peace of mind!
You are so adorable pregnant. I know you hate it now but you already know the reward is totally worth it. Glad you found a product to help so that you can continue laughing that infectious laugh without worrying about other issues!
I needed these when I was pregnant! My son took up residence on my bladder for his 9 month stay!
Ha ha I love the pictures on this post! These look great, and so thin, perfect for during pregnancy!
I got lucky that I never leaked while pregnant with my first two… You look gorgeous!!
You look amazing and I only find trouble when I sneeze but, I’ve trained my body to allow no leakage. Never a bad idea to have Poise though.
I had to use liners at the end of my third pregnancy but not for LBL. I love Poise
Just made it to that point! Glad I found this post!!
I’ve been just thinking of the lbl that having kids has caused. I forgot what it’s like to actually be pregnant with a big baby pushing on my bladder. You’re in the home stretch now!
When do u pee ur pad. When do u change
