Poise Impressa Incontinence Bladder Support for Women, Bladder Control, Size 1, 8 Count (Packaging May Vary)

I’m writing this review to share additional benefits to potential buyers. I looked for reviews from people with my exact circumstances but did not find them. I tried this because I am without insurance at the moment. I have been suffering terribly from pressure and discomfort from pelvic organ prolapse. But I won’t have insurance for a few more weeks. I have been almost incapacitated from the urge to constantly urinate. I am certain I also have a rectocele because I can only have a complete bowel movement by splinting vaginally with my finger. It’s absolutely terrible when my GI system is not in perfect balance. I’m not incontinent but I feel overwhelmed at the thought of not being able to be near a bathroom or have frequent access to one. Today I was miserable and decided to use the number 1 for the first time. Instant relief from the awful pressure. I can have a bowel movement normally. No stool trapping in the pocket of my rectocele. I instantly stopped having to frequent the bathroom to relieve the pressure in my rectum that can some days be almost constant. And the constant trips to the bathroom to urinate are under control. I actually feel like I can have a decent quality of life until I can see a doctor for treatment and perhaps surgery. I’m feeling hopeful that I might have my life back ahead of schedule. It feels just like the tampons I used long ago before my hysterectomy. I’m able to forget that it’s there and if I do notice it the feeling is still a huge improvement over what I would be experiencing without it. I think it will only be a temporary solution and maybe not needed every day. But if I was older, not sexually active and had no desire for surgery it would be a decent option.

These little gems have changed my life! I am a runner and at 6 years post menopause after running marathons since 2001, I have finally found something I can use that makes me feel like a “normal” 30 year old active person! I always use a Size 1 and it works great at preventing leaks while running and even jumping while working out or just doing normal activities (like walking or sneezing lol). It may take a couple of uses to get used to placement so that they fit comfortably, but much like a tampon once you get used to them they will change your life! The only drawback is that you can’t find them in stores anymore and the price seems to have jumped dramatically when buying them online, but I love them so much that I continue to order them. 😊

I have used these for a few years when lifting and emptying the leaf collection containers of the lawn tractor. I don't even think about leaks, and don't notice that I am wearing them while working outside for hours. I would not consider doing this kind of yardwork without them. Just fyi, I am 71 years old.

These have worked so far with bladder leaks when exercising. They are comfortable, but I did bleed a little but I have read that is because of the material that they are made out of.

I had the smallest size and It was so uncomfortable, I even used gel with it. After a while I had to take it out and when I was pulling it out it hurt. Won't use them anymore.

Aging, previous hysterectomy, nurse that has lifted people for years, and now a 25 lb grandson nine hours a day. Need I say more ladies? I have faithfully done my kegels for years also. No fan of surgery. Depressed thinking about a pessary. So....when I researched and then found these, I thought no way. I was so wrong. Get the fitting kit to find your size, you will be amazed unless you need surgery tomorrow! They have given me back freedom. Be smart and follow all directions to stay healthy.

It’s a good product that does what it says it does. That’s all I can say about it. Don’t mean Amazon by saying delivery system. I meant the Impressa’s delivery system into the body. It’s awful. Sorry for the description, but no matter how you put it inside the body, even with directions it doesn’t make it any better. Jagged open prongs are not a good idea going into sensitive areas. Even if you use methods that are supposed to make it easier for you and on you. I wasn’t surprised when I read beforehand that it can cause bleeding especially after I started using them. It would be better all around to close the top like a tampon dispenser, instead of leaving it open to catch all those prongs on sensitive body parts. While the product works, I’m still not sure if it’s worth it.

I’ve only been using this product for about a week but it has been a game changer. I had been plagued by sudden urges throughout the day. Urges that left me barely enough time to reach the bathroom. As a teacher, it’s not always convenient to leave a classroom of students to dash to the bathroom. Since starting with these…the urges have disappeared. I wasn’t expecting that and I don’t understand the biology behind it, but I’m thankful for it. Now I feel like I have a “normal” bathroom routine. Another added plus is that I can drink more water throughout the day. Before, I was limiting my water during the workday to avoid those dashes to the bathroom. Now I can confidently drink as much H2O as I wish without worrying about running to the bathroom every half hour. 10 of 10 recommend.

Work well

By what the title says I have incontinence now for 12 years & counting, I have had pills, through West Suffolk hospital {Bury St Edmunds} these failed, tried 300mls of injected botox {same stuff they put in your face} this failed, then had major bladder surgery had a clam operation under Addenbrookes in Cambridge, UK this failed and then had another 300 mls of injected botox which was 20 injections, this failed. I would and will try anything once. The sensation of passing urine well, I do not get this anymore until it's too late either a very wet pad or it's dripping down my leg. My incontience is all related to a spinal condition which I was born with which is called Spina Bifida Occulta. I already use catheters to use up the urthea to pass urine. Next operation is an urine bag attached to my body, it was only 2 yrs ogo when I went under the knife and drs are saying go under the knife again. Well it took a year for my body to heal and another year to me getting to me again, as I am disabled already. So through my catheter supplire I did my homework behind dr's back & tried a treatment. I wanted to see if these work. Well what have I got to loose? or gain? Drs at Addenbrookes attutude now is "don't want to give you any other treatments just in case it's another fail?" well what attuitude is that? My attuitude is DONT TRY DON'T KNOW, there is a simular product to this that I am chashing up but this other product is brand new on the market and only on prescription, so whilst waiting for my hospital appointment @ the end of July I thought I will try a simular product that I can buy on the market...and this product is simular so I thought what have I got to loose & ONE step ahead of the urolgy clinic. I do have stress and uriny incontience and thought this product could work and I always wet myself in the mornings and this was a "test" and all I got was another big, fat fail. I did buy size 1 and 3. Size 3 came first and my virgina walls are tight and this was painful. was painful removing it. Size 1 was a lot better but like i said I always wet myself in the mornings and this was the big "test" and all I got was a big fat fail. So this product does not work, so I can go back to the urology clinic and said I have tried these and don;t work, so it looks like I am facing more and major surgery again. I do like the thought and the design of these, non surgical, but like wearing a tampon but like wearing a tampon instead of collecting blood like a tampon does these press on the bladder and urthea walls so holding the leakage but I leaked heavy with one in!!!!!! do not recommend this product that is why it is two stars, postage was within a week, pretty good considering coming from the States.

J'ai utilisé les numéros 1. Le produit tient ses promesses au niveau de l'effet recherché. Mes fuites accidentelles ont vraiment beaucoup diminué. Il est facile à utiliser, un peu comme un tampon, seulement son déploiement se fait plus brusquement. Je n'ai pas vraiment ressenti de douleur, mais après en avoir porté deux, j'ai fait une cystite, pour laquelle j'ai dû prendre 7 jours d'antibiotiques et qui m'a occasionnée beaucoup de douleur. J'ai donc décidé de cesser l'emploi. Mon conseil pour une première utilisation serait d'acheter le plus petit format.

Vraiment efficace. Surprenant comme ils contrôlent bien les possibles écoulements. Bref c'est comme un tampon. Si on est pas à l'aise avec un tampon on n'aimera pas mais si non c'est merveilleux
