To find it hard to believe that there are a lot of women out there who aren't what you'd term "old" who have to wear Tenna Lady panty liners?

I've just seen an advert for Tenna Lady Panty Liners. The woman featured in the add is a very glam woman, who looks to be in her early 30s, who keeps saying "oops", which I assume is a little euphemism for involuntary incontenence.

Am I just being naive about the extent of this problem among women under the age of 80, or is it just because they don't want to feature an 80+ year old woman in their advert?

I had to use tena lady at 15!! I had a ridiculously over active bladder and had to use them in the early stages of treatment and while I was being diagnosed.

I read somewhere that hormones can have a significant affect. It seems true in my case that in the middle of my menstrual cycle I struggle more than the rest of the time.

I'm 25 and wearing them after childbirth did a fair bit of damage. If anything I think it's good to see someone my age in the advert, at least makes me feel a tiny bit better

I've had 3 kids come out my hooha and have never once pissed myself. I can trampoline, jog, run up and downstairs etc, do everything I could before I had kids. I count myself very very fortunate, as most women I know with more than 1 kid would very definitely be saying oops at most of those things. (I do have killer piles though and hideous varicose veins)
