As with all TENA Lady pads, it features Odour Control™ and the distinct asymmetric shape means it fits comfortably and discreetly against the body. With new TENA Lady Mini Magic, you can get on with your life without worrying about unwanted leakages and odours.

What causes Bladder Weakness in Women?
Weakened pelvic floor muscles
The bladder and outlet passage are supported and held in place by a hammock of muscles called pelvic floor muscles that keep your bladder closed. If these muscles lose their strength and flexibility, even everyday activities such as coughing may cause leaking.
Pelvic floor muscles can become stretched and weakened during childbirth. Being overweight can also put an added strain on them.
Menopause
All body muscles become weakened over time and after the menopause, the reduction in the quantity of oestrogen also affects the abdominal muscles. As a result, the bladder shifts its position and the muscles around the urinary tract become less effective.
Other causes
Nerve damage, some medications, constipation or even an infection can also lead to bladder weakness.
These causes result in the folllowing four types of bladder problems:
Stress
Unexpected leaking when you laugh, cough, sneeze or do some kinds of physical training. Most often, weakened pelvic floor muscles or the menopause are the causes.
Urge
You experience a strong and sudden urge to pass urine. The bladder tries to empty despite your efforts to restrain leaking. There is a lack of co-ordination between impulses the brain gives to the bladder and what your bladder does.
Overflow and drip
When your bladder does not empty completely, urine builds up and in the end may begin to dribble out.
Mixed symptoms
It is fairly common to have more than one type of symptom.
Can it be cured?
In many cases bladder weakness can be cured. It depends on what has caused your bladder weakness in the first place. A training programme may be all you need in order to regain your confidence.
Pelvic floor exercises
Losing urine when laughing, coughing or lifting is often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles. Simple exercises for building up the muscles of the pelvic floor are recommended. You will find some simple exercises in the keeping healthy section. The best results will be achieved with guidance from a physiotherapist.
Medicines
There are different kinds of medication and new and improved medicines are launched regularly.
Do not keep it to yourself
A good idea is to discuss your bladder weakness with your nearest and dearest. Your openness in discussing your situation with them will be rewarded by a greater, mutual understanding and, no doubt, an even greater sense of relief on your heart.
If you are uncertain about the cause, you may prefer to discuss this with a professional consultant (doctor, nurse, etc) who will be able to recommend the best course of action for you - maybe a change of medicine, changes in your dietary habits or an exercise programme.
