why?

how did my name get selected ?

I'm only 40 and have exceptional bladder control.

I feel violated in a way.......it's undermining my confidence that someone/company out there thinks I need tena lady pads.

times are hard and they will be marketing to previously ignored groups
I promise!!

Or someone has seen the latest advert where it says about asking for a free sample and a friend has done it to you

I'll have them. Some of us need them. I needed them as a 26 year old with a lovely size 10 figure.

Be grateful.

i'm sorry but...

ha ha ha ha ha

You can just go on the website and nominate someone! Start questioning your friends

Oh my God can you send them to me, pregnant with my 3rd and for the first time ever i have developed incontinence, i am . I'm too embarrassed to buy them. I am 31.

Send them my way! I got so excited at Ds's football match the other week I did actually wee a little bit!

I love a good freebie me, start stocking up!

I had to use Tena for a while in both pregnancies and for a little while after too, its no big deal. (Of course I'd prefer not to need them ever, but who wouldn't?)

Its such a taboo and it really shouldn't be. Loads of women in their 30s use them, childbirth can do nasty, nasty things to your bits!

it just made me feel a bit old because ds1 citzencard proving he was 18 arrived at the same time.

It definately should'nt be a taboo but still is a bit 'eek' well that made me feel old if you weren't expecting it

send them back with a label saying Cheeky Bastards

Don't be too concerned OP. I was MIL's and started my period, so asked if she had anything that would do until I get home. She whipped out a Tena pad and I certainly wasn't going to say NO to it when it save more bleeding hearteache for poor old knicks. TBH the pads were a godsend. AND, they can be used for stemming bleeding if you come across an accident and the victim has a bad gash. I could think of all sorts of uses for Tena Lady pads.

I got a personal invitation to a spider and varicose viens open morning at a private local hospital; I've just turned 40! Was very cross!

Hmm, best not laugh too hard at this thread. (I'm 36)

I got some sent to my mum. I bet someone has put your details in for a free sample.

Think yourself lucky you don't need them yet.

I'm clenching right now, thanks for reminding me. Come on ladies one, two, three, four .....

They will come in handy soon enough dont worry!

Perhaps they have undercover market researchers looking for women who stop and cross their legs when they sneeze or cough?!! <crosses legs, before LOLing>

Pmsl. oops, perhaps I need one?

Do you live in a road with lots of bungalows? I used to, and got personalised mailings about retirement homes (in my early 20s). I found it funny then, would probably feel quite affronted now, at 40!

I also received a sample in the mail recently, I suspect it was one of my 'hilarious' friends signing me up on the Tena Lady site. Wish I knew where they were now - am 40 weeks pregnant and they might come in handy...

I could have done with some when I had a cold recently! My pelvic floor must have got a bit mashed 12 weeks ago giving birth to my 9lb 15 er.

Sun Life keep sending me pre-approved Over 50 Plan application forms (I am 34). At first I just ignored it, by the 3rd copy I think someone is trying to tell me something.
