I wanted to come across a bladder control pad that was not that thick. I have fairly good control over my bladder, except when I am stressed. I suffer from what is called stress incontinence which is caused by sneezing, coughing, laughing or if I am punched on my bladder while sparring during karate. I came across these bladder control pads by a company called Tena, they are called TENA DriActive Slender pads. These are the thinnest pads I have ever come across. They can be folded and put in a purse quite easily. If you need discreet and non bulky type of pad, this is the one you should try.
