If you would have asked me just one year ago what I was going to give my Mom for Mother’s Day, I would have said flowers, or a new outfit. Or maybe the whole family would surprise her with a special brunch because she just loves it when all her kids and grand kids are together. But we won’t suggest a brunch this year, or try to pick out a nice outfit, because for the last year or so, Mom has been struggling with bladder leakage.
It is nothing to be ashamed of we say- but she is ashamed
just the same. So this year, I’m giving her a box of Depend Silhouette Active
fit briefs and I’m hoping they will give her the bladder leakage protection she
needs so she’ll regain her confidence and independence.
I don’t want my Mom to feel she is alone anymore in her struggle
to find a product that offers her discreet protection. Gone are the days where
she needs to feel ashamed by a bulky pad, which may or may not protect her as
she moves. She’s moving less and less these days, when she should be out there
enjoying her retirement! Bladder leakage isn’t about your age or stage in life
and it’s time we all tried to help break down the stigma associated with this
condition.
Here are some truths on Bladder Leakage according to Depend
you may not be aware of:
- More people with bladder leakage are in their 20’s than their 80’s
- The average age of someone with bladder leakage is only 52
These truths mean my Mom needs to stop thinking this is a
curse of getting old and try these Depend briefs so she can get busy living the
life she always dreamed of after retiring!
About
Depend Silhouette Active Briefs:
Depend is a trusted name in bladder leakage products so you
can expect the same level of quality in their new Active Silhouette briefs.
Made to fit smooth under clothes and sit just below the waist, these briefs
offer moderate absorbency to trap and lock in odor.
Active Silhouette thin design briefs come in beige and black
and are made of a cotton like fabric
that looks and feels more like regular briefs than any other I’ve researched
for my Mom. She’ll be able to wear her Capri’s and dresses with confidence now.
Join the Movement:
I’m glad I joined the #Underwareness social movement and
charitable cause on behalf of my Mom and all women who suffer with bladder
leakage. You can join too.
The Depend brand is encouraging people to show their support
for this important cause by going to Underwareness.com and joining the
Underwareness movement by sharing a photo or video using #Underwareness and
featuring Depend products. Depend will donate $1, up to $3 million through 2016
to fun charities that advance the research and education of bladder leakage.
While visiting Underwareness.com, you can request free
samples of Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs.
It is my sincere hope that this Mother’s Day gift, while
unique, may help my Mom regain her confidence and be able to get back out there
and by this time next year, we won’t have to wonder if a brunch date would be
ill advised.

I love that these are lower waist so they are more stylish. Nothing to be ashamed of here!
it's great that they don't show
Those look like they would be comfortable and not feel like something weird.
My Mom and her friends have been talking about this problem for years--or so she tells me-granted they are all around 92!! What I haven't mentioned to her is at 64 I am having a slight problem as well. I really want to try these out and see if I am comfortable in them.
This is going to help a lot of women to be more secure in themselves. It is great that there are products out there like this one for this issue.
I love how discreet those are. I would have no clue from a pair of pants that these were not just a regular pair of underwear.
Hi Maggie,
I do too!. I agree, there is nothing to be ashmaed of !
Hi Samantha,
Exactly- Depend active fits are made to look and feel just like underwear.
Hi Jamie,
Gone are the days of bulky protection!
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for being open and honest about your need for protection as well. And kudos to your Mom and her friends for still being active at 92!
Hi Maria,
It is my hope that by helping sread the word we can help woman out there who may feel alone in this situation.
Hi Carlee,
I love the discreet element as well. I saw the picture on the back of the box (in second photo) and was pleased to say I'd wear them if I needed to.
I love that Depends now has the underwear for those with this problem. It so helps those embarrassed about wearing them. This would be a great gift for Mother's Day too. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Rebecca,
I'm happy Depend made their products more discreet too.
Wow, these are so much thinner and smaller than what my Mom has. I'll have to tell her about these.
I definitely like that they don't show--really have to get pair to try.
It is awesome that Depends have change to make it less embarrassing for all those wearing them. I love that the are just below the waist now. Thanks for sharing.
i love that they are discreet and not big and bulky like the reputation of bladder leakage products.
