Ilza’s story: how I overcame urinary incontinence and returned to living with freedom

Hi, my name is Ilza, I’m 78 years old, and today I want to share a very personal story with you. Perhaps someone reading this right now is going through what I went through, and I hope my account brings a bit of light, comfort, and hope. 💛

It all started way back, when I was still young, when my first urine leaks appeared with laughter, sneezing, or more intense movements. At the time, I didn't pay any attention. I thought it was “normal,” something one could “live with.” Over time, the leaks became more frequent, more intense, and suddenly, I was living with them every day.

At first, since I already used disposable pads for my period, I started using them to contain the leaks as well. But along with menopause came an increase in leakage. My period went away… but the leaks didn't. On the contrary, they only got worse. That was when I realized I needed help. At my age, I thought there was no cure, that I would just have to learn to live with it.

And it wasn't just the leaks. The disposable pads caused me allergies, irritation, chafing, and constant discomfort. When I started using them every day, the discomfort evolved into recurring urinary tract infections. I was using them to “control” the leaks… and ending up creating new problems. 😞

When my urinary incontinence got worse

I had to resort to adult diapers. And that was a real blow for me.

It wasn't just physical discomfort, chafing, and infections… It was emotional.
It was the feeling of “being weighed down,” of losing part of my autonomy.
Wearing diapers made me sad. I couldn't drive anymore, I was afraid to visit friends, I avoided clothes I used to love. Little by little, I started isolating myself and losing the joy of living. 💔

Until one day… everything changed

One day, my daughter, Ida 💕, saw that I was losing my freedom and insisted that I try the absorbent underwear from Hermosa Free.

I confess: I was skeptical. I thought:
“If even the diaper doesn’t hold it, imagine the underwear?”

But my daughter insisted. She contacted the Hermosa team, who guided us properly and helped me choose the ideal model for my case: absorbent underwear for super heavy flow, combined with the backup pad.

And, to my surprise… it worked!

It was the first time in many years that I felt truly secure. I managed to leave the house without that constant fear of leaks. I returned to participating in family gatherings, wearing clothes I had stopped using, meeting up with friends, and driving.

It was like getting my life back. 🌷

Hermosa Free absorbent underwear molds to the body, is soft, comfortable, and most importantly, makes me feel secure.
With them, I started living again. 💛

And the best part… I’m planning to travel again!

It had been years since I felt secure enough for that. Now, I feel light, calm, and accompanied by my Hermosa Free absorbent underwear. 🧳✨

If you have also lost hope or think that nothing will work, I tell you with all my heart: it is worth a try. I never imagined I could get my life back. Today, I live with more lightness, more security, and a lot more gratitude.

Oh! And Ilza's story is inspired by true events

Ida’s mother really did switch from adult diapers to Hermosa Free absorbent underwear + backup pad, and returned to living with freedom. 💛
