A New Solution for Preventing Light Bladder Leaks in Women
Uncomfortable and embarrassing bladder leaks are no joke. It’s the last thing women want to deal with on top of their daily life stressors.
Revive® is aiming to change the taboos surrounding stress urinary incontinence, ending a scarcity of readily available, discreet, and comfortable products. Women who have discovered Revive® report a more active, comfortable, confident, and dryer way of life.
Bladder Leaks – What are They, and What Causes Them to Occur?
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), also known as Light Bladder Leaks (LBL), is a disruptive event and occurs when you’re least expecting it. Actions like laughing, sneezing, coughing, jumping and other sudden movements may cause dampness or even significant wetness. Twenty-five percent of women over the age of 18 experience episodes of leaking urine involuntarily - affecting 15 million adult women in the US alone. SUI (LBL) is prevalent among women 45 and older. This doesn’t mean that younger women don’t experience SUI especially after the birth of a child – they do!
A Simple, Friendly, & CostEffective Solution - Revive®
Revive® is an environmentally friendly bladder support device that’s been clinically proven to reduce embarrassing light bladder leaks. It’s easy, discreet, and more affordable than some of the other, more outdated options (pads and liners) on the market today.
A NURSE’S PERSPECTIVE
Here are some excerpts from an interview with Nicole Shulenberger, a licensed practical nurse currently working in pediatric care with a background in urology.
Q: When you were working in the urology office, how often were patients coming in with SUI symptoms?
Nicole: Since we were urology, it was a frequent complaint of female patients in our office, I would say probably daily. It did have a huge impact on their lives. They wondered if their pad or undergarment would sufficiently hold the expelled urine or if it would have any odor. They even worried about having an “accident” during sex. Wearing incontinence pads or underwear could also make UTIs more likely.
Q: What would you say were the most common causes (childbirth, athletes, age, etc,) and what were the most common solutions prescribed or suggested?
Nicole: Most of the patients were older women that had several children. The most common suggestion made to them by the physicians was Kegel exercise. A few have also tried pessaries, but they tended to be so uncomfortable they didn’t wear them and just dealt with their incontinence.
Q: Do you feel that the Revive® device would have been a better option for those patients?
Nicole: Yes, absolutely! Revive® is soft and malleable to move with the body, it just feels like a high-quality silicone. It’s small too! I was surprised when I opened it and just saw a double O ring.
Q: This is very true. Do you feel that Revive® would be easy for women to use?
Nicole: I thought the directions were clear and concise. The packaging is discreet but still clear enough to find what you’re looking for.
