We have two bathrooms. For the most part my oldest son and I are the only ones that use one of those bathrooms, the one I call “my bathroom.” A few days ago my son noticed a package of Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs on the bathroom counter that I hadn’t put away yet. He came out and asked what they were for. And that’s when he got his first introduction to the topic of bladder leakage.
Bladder leakage is something that many women deal with. Many meaning over 51 million women in America. That’s about one in three women. Anyone can experience it as there is no one cause for it. There are many common causes of bladder leakage in women including pregnancy, childbirth and even diabetes.
To support all of the women who experience bladder leakage, the Depend brand has introduced Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs. These new briefs are a moderate-absorbency brief inside of a thin design. The product was designed with a lower rise for an underwear-like look, fit and feel while still offering complete comfort and the trusted protection of the Depend brand. The new Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs come in a variety of sizes in black and nude colors. You can learn more about Depend Silhouette Active Fit on the CVS website.
Underwareness is the Depend brand’s social movement and charitable cause to break down the bladder leakage stigma. Now in its second year, Depend is joining forces with CVS Health to support women with bladder leakage as they navigate their path to better health. For every photo and video shared using #Underwareness, the Depend brand will donate $1, up to $3 million, through 2016 to fund charities that advance the research and education of bladder leakage.

Do you (or someone you know) deal with bladder leakage? What photo will you be sharing to support them?
I don’t have leakage issues, but there is a whole group of moms in my zumba class who do & there is always a collective sigh when a song with jumps comes on!
Bladder leakage is such a hard thing to live with. I have some friends with it, and one in particular is just horrified by the whole thing.
I love this new style of bladder control underwear. I have a friend who has a fairly substantial problem with this, and she’s always been embarrassed by the “diapers” that she has to wear. I’ll have to send this to her.
I think these are stylish underpants for those that need them. It sure beats have a fluffy diaper on.
I love this new design they’ve come out with. I know so many women who embarrassed because they’re wearing diapers. Their words.
Disposable briefs have come such a long way and the new designs are wonderful. No women suffering with these issues should be made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed with sanitary products.
I don’t have any issues but I know a few friends who do. This product is perfect for them!
I know a lot of women who have problems after they have kids so this would be a great solution for them.
I am surprised that so many women have this problem. Thank God I don’t
This does sound useful. Good to have this option for people.
These look so discrete to use. I love that they come in two colors. I have a hard time when i get a bad cold. I need a little extra protection when i cough.
It’s a much easier age to be a woman than ever before in so many ways. I can’t believe how discreet these are.
Luckily, no one in my family has had to deal with leaky bladder issues (unless you count my children when they were infants!)
I don’t have any bladder leakage issues. It is nice to know though that products like these exist should that time ever come for me.
I think have had a few leaks but not enough to do wear the pads.
This is so great for those with bladder leakage. It can be so embarrassing and frustrating but doesn’t have to be now and that’s awesome!
As much as it’s a ‘taboo’ topic, I’m glad Depend makes something to help women with bladder leakage. I have a tiny problem with LBL.
I had issues after each of my girls were born, but thankfully, it only lasted a short time. I do worry that it will be an issue again as I get older.
That’s a nice thing to have when someone has leakage. That would be embarrassing.
I used to have a bladder leakage problem that was really a huge problem. I ended up having surgery to repair it. I haven’t had a leakage problem since 1996 when I had that surgery.
Oy… a few kids later and… yeah. These can be a huge help!
It’s great how they’ve made these so slim! such a problem for so many!
