Video: Breaking Bedtime

For the first time in my daughter’s life, she’s spending the summer away from her mommy. Up until now, her dad and I made monthly road trips, ensuring she spent quality time with both sides of her family on both sides of the state. Our shared agreement came to an end when she started school. So, for the first time, my mini me and I will go more than two weeks without seeing each other, well, unless you count Face Time!

In the beginning, it was difficult to cut the cord. I worried about her—not in the “She’s not going to come back in one-piece way,” rather the “What is she doing every hour of the day?” way. My friends and family advised me to stop being a worrywart and start enjoying my free time, which, for most moms, doesn’t occur often. It took some time, however, I now enjoy getting a bit of a break and hanging out with friends. Of course, we don’t hang like we did pre-parenthood, but when we do get out; we have a great time breaking bedtime.

Although I don’t worry about my daughter anymore, I worry about accidents. Can I share a secret? After having a baby, my bladder is not the same! There are plenty of potty breaks during the partying. Sometimes I don’t make it to the bathroom when I gotta go. Embarrassing, right? Especially since I recently helped my daughter master potty training. Who knew, I, the trainer, would experience accidents as well?

Well, I do. Not enough urine to cause a scene but enough to cause discomfort. I never told anyone besides my best friends. It’s embarrassing! Well, it was embarrassing. Why should we be ashamed of a little leakage? I mean, we pushed out ten-pound babies! That’s an exaggeration about my little bean, but the point is, we should embrace change.

According to Always Discreet, we’re not alone! One-in-three women experience some form of urinary incontinence. And 1-in-2 African-American women (18 years old and older) experience bladder leaks, but only 1-in-9 use incontinence products! If that’s you, Always Discreet has your back—backside. Always has feminine, discreet bladder leak protection products that can enable you to live your life to the fullest and without compromise. You can pick up Always Discreet underwear, which is far from your grandparents’ adult diapers. It’s much more form fitting. For moderate leakage, try the pads. If you need light support, like when you go dancing, try the liners.
