LOSS OF BLADDER CONTROL
Thu, 12/24/2015 - 08:21I have had all types of seizures since 14 (now 60) but my worst are now controlled . I now have daily partials -sometimes lose awareness-but I know they will pass and I can deal with them. The worst part is I always lose bladder control so I need the proper protection. Poise brand pads work wonderfully and are so thin I can even wear two ( I still like to wear nice tight jeans) and they don't even show! I recently tried Always brand and could not beleive how unabsorbent they are. The ads even say they are "thinner than the leading brand" but they are actually 3x thicker! I want to warn anyone with a similar problem not to waste money on a product that simply does not work. Poise pads work and much thinner and more comfortable. I'd love to hear from others on how they deal with this.Thanks.
