Satrted a while ago...

To start with ive always been the one runniing to the bathroom, id say that i went more ofter them others. About a month ago I sneezed and them quickly realized i had peed a little. I thought nothing of it but them it happened again a couple days later. after the third time it happed i figured i had some kind of UTI and it would go away soon ( i heard that can cause a little pee leakage). I didnt go to the doctor, i dont really like them, and figured i would just wear a maxi for a while and hope it got better. Long story short ive been wearing one of these darn things everyday for a month. I finally decited to see my doctor who basically told me that it was uncommon for someone my age (23) but also that it could be casued my stress. So basically i have to wait it out for another month or so. Are the poise pads more comfortable them maxi pads? I really hate these things, i dont even use them for my period, and im just looking to minimize the lack of comfort.
