A:
No, LBL is generally not a disease. It’s simply a condition that many women live with on a daily basis, and it definitely isn’t life threatening or anything. As always, though, you should check with your doctor, as some times it can be caused by something more serious.
Q:
Why don’t men experience bladder leaks like women do?

A:
First of all, men do experience bladder leaks occasionally, but usually for different medical reasons. A woman’s urinary system is much different than a mans, and is often times more vulnerable to the types of issues that can lead to little bladder leaks.
Q:
I’ve been hearing a lot about “overactive bladder.” What is the difference between that and LBL?

A:
Good question. Overactive bladder is simply another name for what doctors call urge incontinence, so it is a “type” of bladder leak, but it isn’t the only one. Light bladder leaks encompass a lot more than just OAB.
Q:
Can I use regular sanitary pads instead of bladder leak pads?

A:
Great question! LBL-specific pads are different than period-only pads. They are designed specifically for absorbing bladder leakage and locking away odor. Here is a helpful link that explains the difference with a terrific visual and audio explanation: http://poise.com/products/compare
