Our expert answered:
Dear NH,
The frequency someone should change their product for bladder weakness is a very individual decision. Some women prefer to change as soon as they have a little bladder loss yet other women are comfortable to wait a little longer until their product feels wet or full.
Poise has a range of products that all have their absorbencies indicated on the packaging with each ellipse indicating approximately 100ml of capacity. This can give you an idea of what each product can hold and when you might like to change. If you have sensitive skin, you may also like to consider change your product more frequently.
Pelvic floor exercises can definitely assist in ensuring your condition does not get worse and in many cases, can help improve the condition. You can find more information on how to do pelvic floor exercises on the Poise website and you may also like to consult a physio who can help you further.
