Talking about LBL is something not really spoken about. Was talking to my Mother-In-Law about LBL and at first was a little embarrassed but now having used these Poise Active Regular Ultrathins Pads with Wings I feel more confident and have the courage to speak up about these issues that women face after having kids etc.
We are not alone in this and its good to know there is a variety of products we can use. Poise goes on sale every now and again and when it does I tell my fellow mother’s, friends and family just in case they want to stock up like I do.

The pad weighs really light and I don’t feel any uncomfortable while wearing it. But it does a great absorbing job. LBL is a headache for me. I always have it while coughing, laughing, running or holding heavy stuffs. Other pads are either too thick or too small for my LBL and Poise active regular ultrathins pads are just right one for me. Definitely I will buy it and recommend it to my friends. By the way, I received five single samples which are super ones without wings, and they do the wonderful job too.

I received these just as I was getting back into some exercise. Amazing! I then got a head cold and was coughing so much that I realised very fast just how bad my pelvic floor muscles were not so great. Poise made me feel more comfortable in the sense that I could cough without fear of ending up with wet pants. I would recommend these to my Mummy friends for sure, my only issue is that my local Woolworths don’t stock them so would need to travel 20 mins to purchase them.

I was lucky enough to be provided a sample pack to try through MOM & Poise. I tend to stick to certain brands when shopping for sanitary items and haven’t tried anything different for years. I will now be adding these to my shopping list. They are comfortable and don’t irritate or feel to bulky. I have recently had my 3rd baby and have had incidents of LBL since. Thanks for the opportunity to trial and review.

Still being relatively early in my recovery post partum (only 12 weeks) I was super excited to try Poise Active Ultrathins. I had started exercising postpartum, and was still experiencing some LBL.

My mum recently went away where she did not want the embarrassment of LBL nor the inconvenience. I gave her some of these Pads to try, and she came back with raving reviews of them, very impressed. Stayed fresh, no bunching, stuck well, and just the right absorbency for an embarrassing problem which she really didn’t have to worry about with this great product. Thankyou 🙂

I thought these pads were great, they are much better than normal pads for light bladder leakage especially during high intensity exercise. They were very comfortable to wear and stayed in place. I usually use the Poise LBL liners as they are great to use in conjunction with regular pads during menstruation, especially for those light flow days. I will buy these again.

I recently participated in the Poise Review and now use Poise pads all of the time. I was so delighted recently when out shopping to come across these fabulous pads in bulk at a local wholesale store. I bought an enormous box of these pads and the price was fantastic. So pleased to have discovered Poise Pads.

Thankfully I had these after my second child and when my bladder and pelvic floors seemed to have a mind of their own. There would be an almost instant urge to go toilet and with a new born and a three year old it’s not that easy.
I found that they were fantastic from saving me from embarrassing moments. They stopped and absorbed any unwanted leakage when I’m running around the park, on the swings or jumping with my children and I may have laughed too hard. It gave me that added confidence when I was out that I wouldn’t have to take a change of clothes. The wings helped to keep them in place and unlike many other liners they actually stayed in place. They were comfy with a barely there feel.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
