  • Reliable roduct

    I received the pack with many pads and it was such a great surprise. These pads were great in the way they stayed in place, had wings for any extra leakage and were very reliable in preventing any leakage. Great product I am definitely buying these the next time I shop.

  • Poise is comfy.

    Poise pads with wings are easy to use and very comfortable. You can do houseworks or work out and they won’t let you down. The wings give a little bit more comfort, because they hold the bad nicely in one place and it won’t move around or come off. Thank you for letting me to test them, I will buy them again.

  • Amazing Comfort and Protection

    Poise Active Regular Ultrathins Pads with Wings help you not leak onto your clothing, with the wings it stays better on your undies and doesn’t slide or twist off or make you uncomfortable like the regular no wing ones. If you have LBL it catches it and gives you the peace and mind you can still be active no matter what. You barely know you are wearing it therefore your active lifestyle is not interrupted. I love it!

  • Great protection

    I’ve been a regular user of Poise for a few years now. I was really impressed with this sample with the wings. The wings added just a little more protection. They stayed in place, were comfortable to wear and lived up to what they promised. Great product.

  • Love talking about it!

    I just love talking about it now!
    Love the feel of how it looks!
    Love the comfort and quality and you barely know it’s there. This is what Poise Active Regular Ultrathins Pads are all about. My husband is kind of sick of me talking about them as I mention them when pregnancy/babies/etc. come up. But I keep on and am proud to speak about it.
    Super perfect for a active lifestyle, running, walking, playing around, swimming, grocery shopping and more. Recommending is what I do best.

  • Courage to speak up!

    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.
    I am thankful that I was about to trial these to find the perfect product for me.

  • Weight is light but does job right

    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.

    Poise® Active Ultrathins Regular with Wings are very good at keeping me well protected for my slight LBL. I have the satisfaction of knowing that I won’t be embarrassed by anything that may happen when I laugh, cough or sneeze….lol. I’m happy to say I will purchase these in the future as I’m confident that they will be the only product I can use on a daily basis to help me feel dry!

  • Always a friend that you need.

    Give it a try!
    You won’t be disappointed!
    It will help boost your confidence when it comes to LBL!
    I know because I use them and have given my personal experience!
    Walking is what I do regularly, love taking my 2 boys to the park, playing and having fun and sometimes I laugh and leak and have to change but now I laugh and leak and am protected by Poise Active Ultrathins Regular with wings.
    It’s a friend without actually being a friend, always there to comfort you, and see you through those embarrassing moments you don’t want other’s to see.

  • Amazing life saver!

    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.

  • Comfortable - Stays in Place

    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.

  • Great product!

    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. They gave me the confidence I needed to get back into the swing of things without worrying about embarrassing myself.

    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 :)

  • Poise pads review

    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.

  • Post natal bliss

    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.

    I’ve been a regular user of Poise for a few years now. I was really impressed with this sample with the wings. The wings added just a little more protection. They stayed in place, were comfortable to wear and lived up to what they promised. Great product.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
