Unlike pads and liners, which are used to absorb leaks, bladder supports are designed to help prevent them from happening in the first place. Impressa® Bladder Supports are an over-the-counter option that’s inserted into the vagina like a tampon to gently lift and give support to the urethra, the tube above the vagina that leads urine out of the bladder. This added support to the urethra and bladder prevents urine from leaking out. That’s why it’s called a bladder support.
