Full disclosure: I am participating in a Vibrant Influencer Network campaign for Depend. This is a sponsored post, meaning I am receiving a fee for posting; however, I am in no way affiliated with Depend and do not earn a commission or percent of sales. The opinions expressed are my own.As a woman in midlife, sometimes my body doesn't work perfectly. Whether it's getting my first pair of bifocals at 48 or feeling a little arthritis in my knees at 50, I get reminders now and then that all my body parts aren't working as designed.
Incontinence is one of those "not working properly" problems, but it's not just an issue for older adults. People from throughout the life span can have trouble making it to the bathroom on time. People with incontinence can't just stay home so that they are always feet away from a bathroom.
The midlife women I know best are very busy with kids, work, exercise and community service. Sometimes my gal pals and I joke around about high-risk behavior we engage in that might contribute to incontinence such as weight lifting, doing jumping jacks, laughing, sneezing, coughing or (on rare occasion) yelling at our kids.
The above list are all examples of stress incontinence. Other causes are classified as urge incontinence, overflow incontinence, and functional incontinence.
As citizens of the 21st century, we are fortunate to have new developments in incontinence products. Depend released products with new Lycra FIT-FLEX™ protection that makes disposable underwear even more effective.

The Depend website is filled with facts and testimonials about how people are staying active with the help of Depend disposable underwear and shields. For example, I applaud actress Starkeisha (featured in the video below) for finding a way to manage her incontinence problems so that she can participate in a number of activities that she thought were off limits for her.
