When I was asked to join the #underawareness campaign, I was more than happy to because I think women going through perimenopause needs to start talking and supporting one another. Perimenopause symptoms were a back room conversation and to talk about products for these symptoms felt as awkward as going to the store at 10 years old to buy pads.

Today we need to break the silence and talk freely about it. I never knew that you could experience bladder leakage when going through this. I also never knew that the very products I would never think of buying were actually made for me. They took into consideration my body, what I like to wear, and what I like to do. I, like many women, would go to my regular pads in fear someone would know.

I’m here to tell you that Depends Brands has all the products that are made right for you. New Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs is a new moderate-absorbency brief that features a thin design for complete comfort with the trusted protection of the Depend brand and a lower rise⁺ for an underwear-like look, fit and feel.

I will live my life to the fullest. Playing baseball with prince, walking along the beach, going to the gym (yes, I just got a membership), and go out dancing! These are just a few of the things that I won’t need to avoid.

This is year two of Underwareness, the brand’s social movement and charitable cause to break down the bladder leakage stigma, Depend is joining forces with CVS Health to support women with bladder leakage as they navigate their path to better health.

Now it’s your turn! It’s time we support the over 51 million American women experience bladder leakage. For every photo and video shared using #Underwareness, the Depend brand will donate $1, up to $3 million, through 2016 to fund charities that advance the research and education of bladder leakage. Join the movement and request a free sample of Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs at www.depend.com/products/get-samples. Together, we can show that wearing a different kind of underwear is no big deal.
