I have leakage around the sides of my incontinence pads .6

Posted by rruben02 @rruben02, Aug 6 11:06pm

I am 74 and quite active. I have had surgery, RT after recurrence and then more Rt and hormonal therapy after spread. The Teena incontinence pads that I use leak around the sides when i exercise or lift the grandkids. And now i
am staining chairs when i sit without even knowing. The adhesive is not good and they tend to crumple up.
Is there a better pad or will pull ups be better?

Thanks for all the info. Super helpful. I will talk to my PT tomorrow. Think I will follow your example. I have to squat a lot to care for my pets, leaking and side blowouts is almost daily. I think I have a very long way to go.
Continued success! Hope to hear more good news as you progress.

I didn't know Depends pad were a new design, but I didn't start buying them until last May. Couple times I have had leaks with not that much actually in the pad. Also, have tight briefs. Think sometimes I must not get the pad position correctly. Sometimes when lifting weights they get soaked, but don't leak. Then today for the second time I got a leak and hardly any wetness in the pad, except on left edge. Must not have had pad put in correctly.

I never found a pad better than Teena. Are you using the heavy duty (overnight pad). I found they would last 3-4 hours during the day. I was 100% incontinent until my oncologist told me about the AUS implant. This implant was, and continues to be, a life saver .
So try a different Teena pad and look into the AUS implant.

Sorry to hear that your incontinence is so severe that you needed the AUS pump. I have tried the Prevail pad for a week so far,
But I think it may be better than Teena
