Padding up for the spiritual journey

What say you on the issue below?

KIMBERLY-CLARK Malaysia, is helping to ensure female pilgrims are spiritually and physically prepared for the haj pilgrimage.

The company made a contribution of 18,000 exclusive travelling pouches with Poise liners, Slim and Maxi pads (protection for urinary leaks) to Tabung Haji at the corporate partnership launch recently.

At a recent haj forum organised by Kimberly-Clark, Datuk Siti Nor Bahyah Mahamood said that for the religious worship to be accepted by God, the pilgrims must be clean physically, thus they should prevent their clothing from being soiled with urine.

Siti Nor Bahyah recommends that women pilgrims with incontinence equip themselves with the right pads to prevent leaks.

Kimberly-Clark’s range of POISE pads and liners are discreet and provide extra comfort and protection for women experiencing urinary leaks. They are specially designed to be extra absorbent, providing double protection than regular pads, and come with Odour Care granules.

One in four women, aged 35 years old and above, experience involuntary loss of urine known as urinary leaks.

Some women may lose a few drops of urine while sneezing, coughing, laughing, or exercising and others may feel a strong, sudden urge to urinate just before losing a large amount of urine.

This wetness occurs simply because of weak pelvic floor muscles, often as a result of child birth.

“Last year, we sampled Poise liners and pads among some women pilgrims suffering from urinary leaks. They found that Poise helped them manage urinary leaks so well that they could perform the haj with peace of mind,” said managing director of Kimberly-Clark Malaysia and Singa-pore Nathan Kandapper.

“Now, we are happy to be making an even bigger difference for women pilgrims through our donation to Tabung Haji.”
