I remember a lot of firsts in my life: my first kiss, my first car, my first job. You get the idea. There are a lot of great firsts that I look back on fondly. I don’t look back with fondness on the first time I experienced light bladder leakage. I was getting over bronchitis and I could not stop coughing and it happened. My first thought was that I’m too young for this problem.

What to Wear for Bladder Leakage
Unfortunately, I wasn’t too young for this problem. Bladder leakage isn’t an issue that only effects our grandmothers. It can happen to anyone, at any age. Light bladder leakage doesn’t have to call a halt to all the fun activities you like to participate in and it doesn’t mean you have to start wearing your grandmother’s polyester pants.
Depend provides a variety of discreet products that help people regain their freedom and get their lives back, including:
- Depend Real Fit for Men and Silhouette for Women briefs: Look, fit and feel like real underwear and feature a cloth-like fabric for a sleek, ultra-smooth fit.
- Depend Underwear with Fit-Flex protection: Features more Lycra stands for a smooth and comfortable close-to-the-body fit.
So what can you wear when you have bladder leakage? With these Depend products, what to wear for bladder leakage isn’t an issue. You can wear anything you want including your favorite skinny jeans.
Depend is trying to bring awareness about bladder leakage with this fun promotion. Depend will be donate $1, up to $3 million, over the next three years to charities that advance the research, education and awareness of bladder leakage for:

HIGH FIVE, Ellen! Thanks for bringing attention to how common bladder leakage is! I’m a women’s health physical therapist (now focusing primarily on women’s fitness) and effectively strengthening the pelvic floor muscles to prevent and treat bladder leakage is a huge part of what I talk about with my clients. It always makes people squirm at first, but heck — it’s reality for so many of us! Great job bringing awareness to this women’s health issue.
