About 2 years ago I was embarrassed to go out in public. I was constantly worrying about an embarrassing problem that I thought I was the only one that had. Over Active Bladder. I finally realized what was causing it (artificial sweeteners). When I stopped drinking and eating anything with artificial sweetener it went away. But during that time I was so thankful to have available Depend underpants. Depend is a great tool for people of all ages. Bladder leakage affects all different kinds of people of all different ages.

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!

My mom has leakage problems and I told her about these when I first started hearing about them. She is giving Depends a go and when I see her again I’ll see how well she likes them.

The thing I love about Depend is their style. Now people who need these don’t have to feel like they’re wearing diapers.

I had to worry about this when I was pregnant, but I also didn’t leave the house too much so it wasn’t too big of a deal. It’s nice to know that there are options out there to help women.

I had no idea artificial sweeteners could do that. Good to know. It’s nice to have something like this to help feel some normalcy.

I have never heard of this brand till now, thanks for sharing. This would be a great alternative for those who have incontinence issue.

I remember seeing Depends a long time ago and they looked like giant diapers. They sure have come a long way!

Artificial sweeteners, wow I would have never guessed. Those Silhouettes sound super convenient and discreet.

My mom needs this in her life for her bladder leakage. It’s like a real underwear and the one with fit-flex protection is so thin that no one will ever notice.

I’m amazed by how far this industry has come. It is better than ever if you ask me.

I think it’s nice that there are high quality products like Depend for people who need them. I know it’s no laughing matter to not have protection.

Who know artificial sweeteners did that? That’s kind of scary! We buy Depends brand for my grandmother who loves them.

I don’t have leakage problems…yet…my mother keeps warning me that one day I will. And I will give Depends a try!

I have light bladder leakage myself and it is no joke. I take medication for mine as well as wear a pad at times.

I’m really glad that there are options like this for people who have these issues. I know I have several family members who are grateful for Depend.

Oh man, artificial sweeteners?! Really? That’s so strange and it would be even more strange to put two and two together! I’m so glad that it went away for you and you don’t have to deal with that any more…I can just imagine :/ Very brave of you to post this and talk about it, especially considering you may have just helped another lady with the same problem for the same, strange reason.

Wow! I had no clue that artificial sweeteners were an issue! I will have to keep that in mind!

I’ve loved seeing this awareness everywhere. It’s a bit of an embarrassing issue to talk about but at least people can find a product that works!
Yona Williams
Oh wow…I never associated foods and drinks with artificial sweeteners as causing an overactive bladder. That is interesting…usually you hear that it has an effect on bowel movements.

It’s always great to know that there are alternatives to difficult situations. I’ve seem the campaign on the Internet and it’s a smart way to remove the stigma.
Tiany
My mother, who is only 60 just started wearing these, she loves them, they are so well made compared to other brands.
Nancy @ Whispered Inspirations
Those look like undies! That must be nice. I don’t have huge issues but, I can imagine it may get worse as I get older.
Naomi
It’s great that Depends is doing this campaign! This is a topic that has been taboo for too long.
