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.

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.

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

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 Blush. I'm too embarrassed to buy them. I am 31.

iMemoo · 02/07/2011 20:27

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

somethingwitty82 · 02/07/2011 20:31

I love a good freebie me, start stocking up!

TYBear · 02/07/2011 20:39

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!

creamola · 02/07/2011 20:56

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

Cymar · 02/07/2011 21:09

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!

NigeltheFuckwit · 02/07/2011 21:15

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

quimbledonsemi · 02/07/2011 21:17

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

LadyThumb · 02/07/2011 23:31

Think yourself lucky you don't need them yet.

lookslikeacoconut · 03/07/2011 09:08

Perhaps they have undercover market researchers looking for women who stop and cross their legs when they sneeze or cough?!!

cheekeymonkey · 03/07/2011 09:35

Pmsl. oops, perhaps I need one? Grin

nightingale452 · 08/07/2011 15:35

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!

KittyChat · 08/07/2011 15:42

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...

DrCoconut · 08/07/2011 16:07

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. Hmm

whomovedmychocolate · 10/07/2011 21:52

cricketfan - once you are on the sunlife list the only way to get off is to cross your name off, write DEAD in large letters and return to sender. Seriously they stalked me for five years when I was about 20! Hmm
