Or whichever advert it was.

So now, every time I do a bit of "tunic tugging" or whatever similar term you used in your recent advert, people will assume that I'm wearing some sort of incontinence protection, rather than trying to either:

A) Attempt to cover up the fact that in an absent minded moment I put on the jeans that have sort of "gone" on the seam, but should be ok for gardening in.

B) Am trying (and probably failing) to cover the ever increasing expanse of my bottom!

Of course, when I have a cough, or think I might be prone to a sneezing fit, or there is a chance that I might be invited to an impromptu trampolining session, then there is a slight chance that I may consider some sort of knicker lining, but until then, stop it!

I'm on a site called 'pickmypostcode' which is a free lottery, funded by all the ads on it. I thought I'd get a 'free sample' of the Tena pants - the waist high ones. They'd just arrived so I tried them on in the kitchen, just as my dog walker arrived, ha ha! Quite crunchy and the absorbent bit was too thick did feel nappy like. Won't be buying them in the future - although someone might have to buy them for me, and I won't know or care by then!

These adverts are so condescending aren’t they! Never see men advertising them! Grrrrrrrrrrr

Mind you, Poppyred if they did run a similar ad for Tena man, what on earth would it look like the chap was doing? confused

I tried a pair that I got free - and, touch wood, at the moment at least, my bladder is good and strong, but I actually found the pants really comfortable and am ever so tempted to buy some anyway.

Pelvic floor exercises ladies, repeat, repeat and repeat again!!!!

Nanna58 Wed 19-Jun-19 22:01:34

Have religiously done my pelvic floor exercises grannygrsvy, alas to no avail, still suffer the ‘oops ‘ moments!

Luckygirl Wed 19-Jun-19 22:51:00

I am an "Allways" girl myself!

I would be lost without them. Pelvic floor exercises have not cut the mustard!

What people? People you care about? People whose opinion matters? People whose lives would be utterly ruined if they thought you might be wearing Tena?

Lighten up, BradfordLass, it's supposed to be lighthearted !

yggdrasil Thu 20-Jun-19 07:55:58

I agree with Luckygirl. Allways are much better.

Th do have radio adverts for Tena man on LBC, very annoying ones :-)

What are we talking about? Not thongs again? Or are they Winter warmers? If so they'd be handy here right now as it's been 9C max today; feels like 1C as the weather presenters say on TV. Keep warm and continent! grin

Just seen the ad, it was/is Always, not Tena.

Rufus confused

Another ooops moment then phoenix ?

Those patterned pants in the advert look to me like the fabric is scratchy.

The pants look really frumpy and not comfortable at all.
I acquired a pair of DDs maternity pants when I was at her house just after she had Baby no 2 and I had run out of my own as I stayed an extra day.
They seemed huge great things.

I had to buy the “pants that make me feel pretty” as I had a colonoscopy with the hospital being a two hour drive away. I had to take the two flushing drinks the night before and my DH asked in a whisper “what if you shit in the car!” They are very well padded and I felt like I had a nappy on. Not very comfortable but did the job.
