Getting ready to hit the gym with Depend. |
At times, I have been hesitant to push myself hard while working out because of issues with bladder leakage.
A few weeks ago, I told my personal trainer, Melanie, that I didn't want to do jumping jacks.
She replied (in her drill sergeant manner): "Get some disposable underwear and quit whining!"
The next day, I received an invitation to review Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs. That was a happy coincidence!
Fashionable protection: Briefs come in beige and black. |
Thin design for complete comfort
Lower rise sits just below waist
Moderate absorbency traps and locks in odor
Cotton-like fabric
S/M and L/XL sizes
My first test run was conducted during an evening at the gym.
No bulky lines under my gym clothes. |
The briefs didn't rustle, and they didn't look bulky under my tight-fitting exercise pants.
I could complete the homework my trainer assigned to me without wimping out.
Since picking up SAF briefs, I've talked with friends in their 30s, 40s and 50s, discovering that some of them also struggle with bladder leakage.
I've learned that more people 50 and under have bladder leakage than people 60 or over.

While having to pee every five minutes so I can get in my requisite amount of healthy water, I also wear a pad so I'm not doubly surprised when someone yells, "BOO!" I applaud your bravery and your trainer's common sense. Thanks for making it less scary to just put on the big girl panties and get on with it!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up, Cathy!
DeleteGreat review. It's good to know they're not bulky and funky. I have MS, so bladder issues are a pretty regular concern—which makes this valuable info. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAll my best to you, Lisa!
Deletehunh. not there just yet, but will look at these when I am
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know these exist. Active and briefs seem to not go together, so this let's people know they can do both. Whew!
DeleteIt is good to know they are available. They seem like a wonderful solution for leaky bladder and I will definitely try when I have this challenge so that I can continue going to the gym
ReplyDeleteKeep enjoying the gym, Ines. Take care.
