When working in the garage it can often be dirty and messy and lets face it ladies it’s not a very fun job. The same goes for other things things like periods and light bladder leakage. Poise is one of those brands that has us ladies covered.
WHAT CAUSES LBL?
Just as no two women are alike, there’s no single reason that LBL happens. Some of the most common things that lead to uninvited leaks include:
- Physical changes from childbirth, pregnancy, hysterectomy or menopause
- Being overweight
- Complications from surgery, stroke, or chronic diseases like diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson’s disease
- Bladder or urinary tract infections
- Bladder irritants (certain foods and beverages)
The truth is LBL happens and being prepared helps you stay confidant.
Poise is wanting to know how can you recycle your period pad and use it in multiple ways? 
Often it’s easy to find multiple purposes for one product and these thin shape pads are great for practical uses like in the garage.
Have a mess painting? Clean it up easily.
Need to change your oil? They have you covered. 
Even helpful for cleaning up greasy messes. 
My personal favorite is knee pads for really getting down there and they really do work. 
Need to clean up an oily mess in the garage they have you covered so the next time the guys come over and see a package of Poise Thin-Shape Pads next to my husbands toolbox he will tell them they have to give it a try.

I had hysterectomy so I haven’t had pads in the house for some time. This post made me giggle a bit though, can’t imagine wearing pads on my knees!
These are most definitely some unique uses!! I think I’d rather use them for any of these than for their intention, lol!
I love this post so much!! I’ve used pads for a lot of crazy things LOL.
I love the idea of using these pads as knee pads, so clever. Not sure if my husband would approve but I would do it!
Wow, I think I have lost all of creativity because I never would have thought of any of these. But they are all great ideas.
Not that these are not um ‘unique’ uses for them, but you might have gotten out-done by your commenters, foot inserts for sore feet? <-Jennifer your gram WINS everything today!
Some how cleaning wrenches with pads seems very unmanly. But a clever idea.
So glad that you are recycling unused pads. I had not a good vision at first.
Everything else gets purposed for things other than what they’re meant for, so why not? 🙂 Love your nails!
I love how creative you are! These are awesome ideas. Thanks for sharing.
These are great uses for pads. I heard of using them for cleaning before. They make great shoe liners for sweaty feet.
I’m glad I don’t have bladder problems yet. I will probably be using those when I do. Lol
HA! You have me laughing through this whole post. You get my “best post of the day” award. So creative. I dont have bladder problems and with PCOS I have no idea when I’ll have a period, so no pads hanging around to use for other projects. I can imagine the look on my husbands face when I tell him he can use them to clean tools. Or, that we can use them on our knees when we garden. So funny.
I never really thought of using pads for other uses. Thanks for the suggestions!
I’m going to stash some pads in hubby’s garage and see what he has to say about that. I am amused at using them for tools, but I am not so sure he would be bwahahaha!
OMG this is so funny! Who would’ve thought, of all these uses!
I never thought about using pads for cleaners! The knee pad idea is genius!
Huh, I never thought of using pads for anything other than girly stuff. I guess with them being super absorbant, you could get all kids of spills.
These are great. I especially love the knee pads one! How original!
How unique! I never thought to use them for other purposes!
This is hilarious! You are soo creative. I never would have thought of these uses!
I’m not sure my husband would be thrilled with me storing mine next to his tools! He’s pretty easy going about most things, especially in a house with girls. But hey, whatever works!
This is fabulous! I wouldn’t ever think to use a pad for anything other than, well, as a period pad! I love this!
With both my oldest and I having monthly cycles now, we do not have many pads left to spare. I still got a kick out of the unique uses you came up with here.
I’ve never recycled pads but you’ve listed some pretty useful ideas. Thankfully I don’t currently need these but you never know.
I have never thought of using these pads for these reasons but I think if it works for you, go for it. I love the knee pads. I am wondering if I could get my husband to wear these when he is outside fixing our water sprinklers, 😉
I bet they would be great for cleaning! Unlike paper towel, they wouldn’t fall apart!
Oh man! I just told my husband he was using pads to change his oil….you don’t want to know his reaction. Lol!!!!!!!!!
What fun ideas… ha. I would have never thought of any of these. Ha… Thanks for sharing.
Awesome ideas to #RecycleYourPeriodPad! I use my old ones to clean… AND In my shoes!
I have LBL and is sure is a nightmare! That last kid of mine did me in lol. I would recycle the pads to mop the floor and dust.
I never knew period pads were so versatile. I just gave mine to my daughter when I didn’t need them any more!
I laughed so hard I almost choked on my coffee. Then I realized that knee pad idea is genius. I have been crawling around planting and have those little dimples from stones in my knees. I can’t believe I am going to say this since I don’t need pads but I’m buying a pack. Hence the point..I bet haha. I definitely need more coffee. Kuddo’s on your post. It’s great 🙂
I don’t know if I could get out in the yard with pads on my knees LOL But, some of these are really great!
Wow. There is some serious creativity going on in this post. I’ve never thought of using pads for anything other than what they were made for. That’s pretty cool!
Those are some really cool ideas! My Gram actually uses period pads as foot inserts for her sore feet.
I don’t have bladder leakage, so I use my pads for what they’re supposed to be used for 🙂
