TENA Extra Pads are designed for absorbing a light to moderate amount of bladder leakage, which typically occurs following surgery or when coughing, laughing, sneezing or straining. Comfortably shaped with soft, cushiony side gathers that conform to the body for a good fit. TENA Extra Pads are folded and individually wrapped to fit easily into one's purse. And most important, they offer much improved protection for women currently using feminine hygiene products!
