Who are the actresses in the Poise commercial?

Poise commercials are known for blending humor with empowerment, especially around the topic of light bladder leakage (LBL), a subject often considered taboo. But one reason their commercials are so memorable is the confident, charismatic presence of their lead actresses.

In recent years, Patricia Belcher, a veteran television actress, has become the recognizable face in several Poise ads. Best known for her roles in Bones and Jeepers Creepers, Belcher brings a sharp, maternal authority to the ads, which play up both comfort and self-assuredness in addressing LBL. Her performances are part cheeky aunt and part wise mentor, which helps to ease the stigma often attached to the issue.

While Belcher might not be the only actress ever used in Poise campaigns, her performances have become the standout — her blend of warmth and sass solidifying the brand’s tone.

Alongside Belcher, several other actresses have helped to convey Poise’s unique messaging. Some appear in ensemble ads or social-media-specific content. Here are a few notable faces:

Angel Laketa Moore: Known for her bold comedic style, Moore appeared in Poise’s “Stand Up for LBL” series. She’s also a frequent YouTube creator under the handle That Chick Angel, which makes her a fitting ambassador for Poise’s digital-forward approach.

Lauren Weedman: A regular contributor to HBO’s Looking and Hung, Weedman has lent her quirky, down-to-earth charm to Poise campaigns, often playing a “best friend” or sidekick character who encourages openness around health topics.

Maya Lynne Robinson: With credits like The Conners and The Unicorn, Robinson has appeared in ads that emphasize sisterhood and support, two major themes of Poise’s messaging.

These women often appear in group formats, representing a wide demographic range to show that LBL affects people of all backgrounds and ages.

📺 Example: Poise’s “It Takes Poise” Campaign featuring a diverse cast:

Poise has taken care to ensure that the actresses in their campaigns reflect the diversity of their audience — in age, body type, ethnicity, and attitude. They portray women who are strong, relatable, and unapologetically themselves.

This diversity is essential in helping consumers feel seen and heard. The casting choices show that light bladder leakage isn’t something to hide — it’s something to manage confidently. The actresses are crucial in delivering this message without shame or awkwardness.

The brand often walks the line between humor and heart, which is why actresses with a background in comedy and drama — like Patricia Belcher and Angel Moore — are such powerful choices.

Several of the Poise actresses have spoken publicly about why they took part in the campaign. In an interview with Healthline, Angel Laketa Moore said:

“I wanted to be part of something real. So many women are dealing with these issues and just suffer in silence. I love that Poise lets us laugh a little while still addressing something important.”

Similarly, Patricia Belcher noted in a TV Insider feature:

“I’ve spent my career trying to be a voice for real women, and this was a natural extension of that. We all pee a little when we sneeze sometimes — let’s just get over it and move on.”

These stories underline how the actresses connect with the campaign not just as performers, but as women with lived experiences or empathy for those who do.

Humor is central to Poise’s advertising strategy. Their campaigns don’t shy away from saying words like “pee” or “leak” — and that’s intentional. The actresses are instrumental in pulling this off without embarrassment.

Take the “Ladies Room” commercial, where a group of women (including Belcher and Moore) share LBL stories in a restroom mirror sequence. The dialogue is fast, funny, and very real:

“If laughter is the best medicine, then Poise is the second best,” one character quips.

By making these moments laugh-worthy, the actresses help take the edge off a serious subject — much like how comedians tackle hard truths in a stand-up routine.

Many of the Poise actresses were already working steadily in television and film before landing these commercial spots. But their visibility in Poise ads introduced them to a wider — and often more appreciative — audience.

Patricia Belcher especially found a resurgence in popularity among women 40 and older who appreciate her no-nonsense style.

Likewise, Angel Laketa Moore has used the visibility to boost her comedy shows, YouTube presence, and acting gigs. Fans often comment on her Poise commercials, saying things like:

“I saw you in the Poise ad and laughed so hard — I had to look you up!”

This kind of crossover success highlights how even 30-second commercials can be a launching pad — or revival — for careers.

Unlike many other health-related commercials, Poise makes a point to educate and entertain. The choice of actresses — many of whom are vocal advocates or comedians — helps make the message more impactful.

They aren’t just selling pads or liners; they’re helping change the conversation around aging, womanhood, and wellness. This blend of advocacy and advertisement makes the Poise campaign stand out, especially with actresses who are more than just pretty faces.

Their boldness, relatability, and comedic timing bring credibility to the campaign and show that bladder issues don’t have to be humiliating.

The success of the Poise campaign can be credited not just to clever scripting or strategic product placement — but to the actresses who bring those scripts to life. Whether it’s Patricia Belcher’s dry wit or Angel Moore’s energetic delivery, these women have become champions of confidence.

They remind us that we can discuss health issues with humor, grace, and honesty. And in doing so, they’ve made bladder leakage — and the products that help manage it — less of a punchline and more of a shared, empowered experience.

So the next time you see a Poise ad, you’ll know that behind the jokes are real actresses, real stories, and real representation.
