AIBU to hate the new Tena pads??

[Helpmechooseausername]

I've been using the normal size tena pads for ages but they've changed them and I'm wondering if anyone else thinks they're worse? They seem to be narrower than before so sometimes my pad is almost dry but my knickers are wet because my leakage has missed the pad!

Anyone else found this? Anyone got any recommendations for different pads that are wider?

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!

I used the pull up incontinence pants after gynae surgery recently when I was bleeding a LOT, unpredictably at times. I also found pads useless for me with too many accidents. The pants gave me great confidence and I wore ordinary knickers over them, ahem for aesthetic purposes 😊I got mine in Aldi BTW.

I had to use them for about 6 weeks and then when bleeding eased I used period pants. I'm in my late 60s so I'm out of the loop regarding such products!

The pull ups might not be suitable for you, or everyone long term but they might help someone else. I use them also when taking colonoscopy prep, you have to be quick to the loo then or else...

Thanks. Too many accidents are definitely a problem!
Hope the surgery and recovery went well x

Coming in to say pumpkin oil capsules as recommended on here have made a huge difference to my leaking. There was a whole thread about 9 months ago.

Ooh thanks, I'll look for the thread

I take them too - mine are bladder support from zipvit - I think they are helping a bit.

Do u get them prescribed on prescription I do now as cuts to my pip meant I couldn't afford to but them, u can buy the ones they perscribe privately they called "" ID Incontinence "" and are very good
