how are you holding up?

After giving birth, I must confess that some things are happening with my body that I have very little to no control of. Among other things, it seemed like my bladder could not always do its part of holding up urine a little longer than it used to. I am talking about urinary incontinence. I thought incontinence can only be experienced by the elderly or those that are already past their retirement age but I was wrong. I didn't even think that a laughter can trigger a flow from my bladder. This actually bothered me for awhile but after a few reads on the Internet and after a word from a doctor (especially), I was somehow appeased.



To be honest, my urinary incontinence experience came to a point that I had to rely on these diapers and nappies for adults for awhile but after following a few exercises (Kegel exercises) that can help strengthen the muscles in my pelvic area, I was able to manage it well. Of course, it was not like I have totally dealt with it or gotten rid of it completely because there are still times (although not very often) that I would get a surprise flow when I find something too amusing and can't control my laughter. That's when these diapers or nappies can come in really handy. I realized I might as well wear one especially when I know I would be engaged in a fun conversation with friends during parties or when I would go on a long travel. How about you? How are you holding up? :-)

By the way, I also find these disposable ones helpful especially during heavier days of my period. There is this feeling of security on my part when I use them during Day 2 of my period instead of my regular pads. Ooopps, that was supposed to be a secret!:-)

  1. It is normal when you had a baby because things down their get stretchy and it takes awhile before the muscles goes back to somewhat normal. I do Kegel exercises even just sitting down. LOL! I did use napkins during the first week and I do use sanitary napkin everyday now. Our body sure does go through a lot of changes when we get pregnant and give birth. Hope you are doing well.

  5. This is good alternative in order to make the incontinence to be comfortable despite the fact that sometimes it takes a while for kegel exercises to be effective. These are good product to use especially to those aged people.

  7. I experienced the same thing too when I was pregnant with my two boys. Mine was worse because I had cough and every time I "bark" there goes the "surprise." lol! i used just panty liners and it was not enough. That's right, doing Kegel exercises is one way of eliminating that.

  11. There are so many people using adult diapers for urinary incontinence, and that is something not to be embarrassed about. It happens to a lot of people. Aren't we glad that there are diapers available for adults? Otherwise, you will keep changing your undies, skit or pants and such :)
