Highly absorbent

Don't let bladder weakness hold you back! TENA® discreet Maxi pads are specifically designed for ultimate incontinence protection. InstaDRY™ technology ensures ultra-fast absorption: liquids are instantly absorbed and securely locked inside the pad. The lasting dry feeling is further enhanced by the soft, textile-like surface, which wicks moisture away from the skin, guaranteeing its protection. Unwanted odors are no longer a concern – Fresh Odor Control with micro-freshness pearls effectively prevents odor formation.

Menopausal incontinence

Two-thirds of all women suffer from hormonally related bladder weakness during menopause. The estrogen deficiency in the blood leads to increased sensitivity of the mucous membranes in the intimate area and simultaneously causes a progressive weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue, which can cause the bladder to sag. However, bladder weakness doesn't mean a woman has to forgo a fulfilling and active life. Discreet pads with reliable leakage protection and odor control ensure a fresh and dry feeling in every situation – at work, during all sporting activities, and at celebrations with friends and family.

Training for prevention

Pelvic floor exercises are very effective in preventing impending bladder weakness during menopause. A daily workout of five to ten minutes is usually sufficient to specifically strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These simple exercises can also be done at home.

Expert tips for bladder weakness

Bladder weakness during menopause can be effectively prevented. A conscious lifestyle with a balanced, varied diet, sufficient fluid intake, and regular exercise keeps the entire body healthy and has a positive effect on the bladder. Additionally, this can help to specifically counteract risk factors for incontinence, such as significant obesity.

FAQs

How can you train your bladder?
Targeted bladder training, combined with a healthy lifestyle and other measures, can help prevent bladder weakness. Don't postpone going to the toilet for too long, as this could overstretch the bladder muscles in the long run. Frequent "preventive" trips to the toilet, on the other hand, can lead to a strong urge to urinate even with small amounts of urine in the bladder. Always listen to your body and only go to the toilet when it is truly necessary.

Will pelvic floor exercises help if I already suffer from bladder weakness?
Targeted training of weak pelvic floor muscles not only serves as prevention but can also help alleviate symptoms at any stage of bladder weakness. In addition to typical pelvic floor exercises, sports like Pilates and yoga also strengthen the pelvic floor. Focusing on conscious breathing during these exercises can activate the deeper muscles in the body. Simply try out different training methods to see which one you enjoy most and which fits best into your lifestyle. To ensure you feel secure during every activity, TENA® pads and pants are available in a wide range of sizes and absorbencies, providing discretion and reliable leakage protection, even during sports.

Do I have to avoid coffee if I have a weak bladder?
Coffee, like other caffeinated drinks and alcohol, has a strong diuretic effect. This also applies to some fruits and vegetables, such as asparagus, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, and oranges. Pay attention to which foods and drinks trigger an increased urge to urinate and take this into account when planning your diet. If giving up coffee completely is difficult, simply reducing your coffee consumption and perhaps replacing it with other stimulants can help. Many people with bladder weakness and frequent urination tend to drink very little. However, this impairs the proper functioning of the bladder. Try to drink a glass of water every hour to ensure your body is always adequately hydrated.
