- What is Athletic Incontinence?
Unlike stress incontinence, which is generally defined as leaks that occur when someone sneezes or laughs, athletic incontinence is urine leakage that is triggered when you run, jump or otherwise engage in physical activities. It can be as little as a few drops, or it can be a heavy flow.
- How common is Athletic Incontinence?
Very common. A number of reports indicate that as many as one out of three women over 35 have weak bladders and most of these women will experience athletic incontinence when they engage in athletic activities or exercise. And you don’t have to be a mom to experience this problem.
- Why don’t standard incontinence pads and sanitary napkins work for athletic incontinence?
Menstruation and athletic incontinence are different conditions requiring different absorption techniques, different odor-fighting properties and different solutions. Sanitary napkins are not designed to absorb urine, which is discharged during strenuous activities. Pantiliners absorb even smaller quantities of fluid. Ordinary incontinence pads are bulky and visible under tight workout clothing. Athena pads are designed to concentrate the absorbent core of the pad directly underneath the urethra, where protection is needed. The Athena pads are have a low profile design so they are not visible under tight fitting exercise clothing.
