TENA® Lady Discreet Extra Plus

The TENA® Lady Discreet Extra Plus insoles have been specially developed for women with moderate to severe bladder weakness.In Germany, around one in three women over the age of 50 is affected by incontinence.Bladder weakness is widespread, but many women feel restricted in their everyday lives as a result.The TENA® Lady Discreet range offers products in different absorbency levels that are tailored to the needs of the female body and offer safety and discretion in every situation.

Area of application

During menopause, two thirds of all women suffer from hormonal bladder weakness.The lack of estrogen causes the mucous membranes in the intimate area to become more sensitive and the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue to relax, which can cause the bladder to sink.Nevertheless, no woman has to forego an active and fulfilling life.Discreet insoles with safe leak protection and odor control ensure a fresh and dry feeling in every situation - be it at work, during sporting activities or at celebrations with friends and family.

Mode of action

The TENA® Lady Discreet Extra Plus insoles offer reliable triple protection against leaks, moisture and odors with the unique InstaDRY technology.They are significantly more absorbent than conventional inserts and, thanks to their body-hugging shape, guarantee a high level of comfort and excellent protection.The InstaDRY Zone absorbs liquid directly and stores it safely inside the pad.The soft, textile-like surface made of breathable material immediately wicks moisture away from the skin and ensures a pleasantly dry feeling.Unwanted odors are effectively prevented by the odor-neutralizing Odor Control with active micro freshness beads.The elastic, soft side cuffs adapt to every movement and make the insoles comfortable to wear.

Prevention training

Frequently asked questions & Answers

Is it true that you can train your bladder?Yes, you can specifically train your bladder and - in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and other measures - prevent bladder weakness.Do not delay going to the toilet for too long, otherwise the bladder muscles could become overstretched in the long term.However, too frequent “preventive” trips to the toilet can result in a strong urge to urinate, even with a small amount of urine in the bladder.Listen to your body and only use the toilet when it is really necessary.

Does pelvic floor exercises still help if I already suffer from bladder weakness?Regular training of the pelvic floor muscles not only serves as prevention, but can also help to specifically alleviate existing symptoms at any stage of bladder weakness.In addition to typical pelvic floor exercises, sports such as Pilates and yoga also strengthen the pelvic floor.Concentrating on conscious breathing during the exercises can activate the deeper muscles in the body.Just try out the different options to find the training that you enjoy and that fits well into your life.So that you feel safe with every movement, TENA® Lady Discreet insoles are available in a variety of sizes and absorbency levels, which ensure 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.The same applies to some fruits and vegetables such as asparagus, carrots, tomatoes or oranges.Observe which drinks and foods trigger an increased urge to urinate and take this into account in your diet.If it is difficult to give up coffee completely, it is helpful to at least gradually reduce your coffee consumption and, if necessary, replace it with other “pick-me-ups”.Many people tend to drink less than usual when they have bladder weakness and frequent urination. However, this prevents the bladder from functioning properly.If possible, drink a glass of water every hour to keep your body hydrated.
