POISE LAUNCHES 'IT HAPPENS TO ME' EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN IN CONJUNCTION WITH WORLD CONTINENCE WEEK 2012

Yesterday evening was invited by Sophia from Indeed Communication to be part of the POISE launch at Allo Paris, Damansara Perdana and I'm the first to arrive amongst all the bloggers :). 

We were treated with delicious dinner and my favourite food is the chocolate moist for desert. Yummy, yummy, yummy....

Then we proceed with the presentation by Mr Sumeet Parab, Marketing Manager of Kimberly-Clark Malaysia that explain to us the meaning of "LUL"-Light Urinary Leakage that affecting 1 in 4 women at least once in their lifetime and many are afraid to talk about it...

Since 2009, the Company had increased the awareness of LUL and educating women that there are solutions which can help so that they can regain control over their lives with proper management of LUL...

Poise Ambassador Sharifah Shahira or famously known as Shira then been invited to the stage...

Shira explained that dealing with LUL isn't just about a change of clothes everywhere you go, or locating the nearest restroom every hour. We need to take charge and take action-Kegel Exercises really work and for back-up, Poise pads and liners are effective-wetness and odor are the main concerns for anyone experiencing LUL, and Poise tackles both...

Dr Seri Suniza Sufian, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynecologist in one of the educational video clips shown to us explains that women are likely to experience LUL, during pregnancy or after childbirth, due to the pressure of the womb on the bladder, and because childbirth can sometimes weaken the pelvic muscles. However, there's no need to be unduly concerned, because there are ways to manage it, from managing your diet and maintaining a healthy body weight, to practicing Kegel exercises and using the products that are designed to cope with urinary leaks...

Joining Shira is Raja Azura who agrees that LUL is not something to be swept under the carpet. LUL is not a tiny matter - it affects our confidence, impacts our plans and can be emotionally exhausting. She further said there are many more women affected by LUL. That's why we are here today, to tell women to take charge and take control of their lives...


Poise understands how women feel about LUL, hence Poise pads and liners are specifically made to be sleek, discreet and highly absorbent, with odour-neutralizing granules. Poise is the light urinary proctection brand of products for women in Malaysia. It is one of the brands of Kimberly-Clark. Poise products, available in 16-counts packs, come in three different product forms (liners, slim pads and super maxi pads) with product features such as Absorb-Loc protection which absorbs 2x more than regular pads, Odor Care ganules to prevent unpleasant urine odor and Dry Touch cover to keep one drier and comfortable all day... 

And the solutions of LUL is to do some Kegel Exercise with Pilatique Pilates Studio to stabilise the pelvis and support the organs of the lower abdominal cavity, like the bladder and uterus. We were shown different of way exercise and the correct breathing method. Pilates gives us an entire body workout, toning up areas of abs, glutes, arms and legs...

All Bloggers sweating even though its just a light exercise and pregnant lady like me still can do it...

Overall, we had a wonderful evening out with representatives from Poise, Pilates Studio, Indeed Communications & Allo Paris. Tqvm to all of you as I gain some knowledge of LUL while meeting up with my fellow bloggers friends, Angie, Karen, "Wong Si Lai", Cynthia and others. Thanks for the goodie bags together with the lovely cupcakes.

Hope all of you enjoy reading this useful information :)...
