TENA Incontinence Briefs, Super, Medium 14 ea

Excellent briefs. Been using another organic beand and used these until I could order the usual ones I will continue to stick with purchasing these. They are soft and do not leak.

Sizing is a little to the small side -- if you are within a couple of inches of the larger measurement, size up. The quality is excellent, and this is the style and brand used in the hospitals locally as well. For the people who are saying these are not briefs -- that is not the case. This product of protective underwear IS called briefs. Do not confuse it with how you might reference regular underclothing. If you are looking for the non-brief (i. e. non-tabbed or non-child-diaper style) incontinence garment, search for and find products that are referred to as "underwear" or as "pull-up" style. "Briefs" is the correct term for this type of medical grade product and its intended use. Some of the regular style also use the word "briefs" but you should always presume that "briefs" when referencing this type of item means something that an aide will put on a patient, not an item that a person will put on unaided.

Tena has been around forever. These diapers used to be a bit better than they make them now but at this price point, how could you really complain too much? They do their job if you keep their downfalls in mind. Performance: These diapers are by no means perfect. I like how discreet they are and they are pretty comfortable wearing out and about in public. You can wear them under almost anything. They aren't noisy and aren't hot. As far as absorption goes, the capacity isn't anything to write home about. It's definitely better than your average store bought diaper from a major retail chain. They do feel a bit wet when wet. The lack of leak guards is a pretty big downfall for these but you can tape them on tight around your legs. It still doesn't make up for the lack of them though. They tapes are refasten-able and you will probably have to adjust them at some point while wearing them if you plan on using these for extended use. The adhesive is a hook style fastener so not sticky tapes. The durability of these diapers aren't the best, but more so where the tapes fasten due to the hooks tugging at the cloth style backing. They don't rip easily per-say but you can tell they don't hold up extremely well. They are quite comfortable when active as they are breathable. The design is a Tena staple look and the wetness indicator works well. Sizing was fairly regular but maybe running a bit small. Shipping: Shipping was discreet and very fast as you can have them sent to and Amazon locker. No issues here. Conclusion: I don't 100% trust these as much as I would a premium plastic backed diaper but it is a different target market. It's hard to say if I'd buy these again. Not because they are that bad, but because I prefer a thicker, more premium diaper. If I was in a pinch I would most definitely grab these again without hesitation. Especially for day time use. There's something about these I really like for some reason and I just can pinpoint what it is. Either way you can't go wrong at this price.

Got these for my husband who is dealing with incontinence post prostate surgery. He also uses the pull up Depends underwear, but we were looking for a tab version so he could easily change while we were out without having to completely take his pants and shoes off. These don't cut it. In fact, though he doesn't have to take his pants and shoes off to put these on/off, it's even more of a nuisance because it takes 2 of us to manipulate this. He holds the front part up in place, then I lift the back part up while freeing up one waist tab in order to secure it in place. Once that first tab is in place, I secure the other waist tab, then move back and secure both leg tabs. There's no way a person could easily put one of these on themselves. The only way I can see this working, is if you are a caregiver to someone who is bed-bound and you have to put these on while they are laying down. In that case, you'd slip the back section under them, and proceed as you would to diaper an infant. For mobile, ambulatory adults, this just doesn't work. Husband is 5'11", 170 lbs and typically wears a 33-34 pant. I also don't know how to envision the body shape that these would work for, bc they are very oddly shaped. The section that goes between your legs is extremely wide - - - close to 9" wide - - - so unless you do nothing but lay flat on your back with your legs splayed out to the sides, that area between your legs gets squinched and hubby says it feels very awkward. The hip area is quite tight but the waist is huge and sits very high. In order to secure the bottom tabs, you need to pull quite tightly. But, there is so much excess at the waist, that you have to sort of roll the tops over to bring them to waist level and the tabs secure closer to your front area rather than on the sided. I guess the one biggest downfall of these, is that there is no elastic at the waist. It's our fault for not thinking this through, but this means that they don't pull down easily when hubby needs to use the bathroom. Hubby isn't bedridden or completely incontinent - - - he still goes to the bathroom like usual but is wearing Depends b/c he has leaking issues. The only way to take these off, is to undo the tabs. Once you undo a tab though, it doesn't quite adhere as well when you re-attach it again. We're still thinking through ways to use these that makes sense. We'll figure something out and use up the pack we ordered, but will definitely not be ordering these again.

They work really well. Very comfortable. They also hold a decent amount. I only have one gripe about them is that there are no leak guards. Other wise I highly recommend
