Abena Brand Review: What to Know Before You Buy

Abena is a Danish incontinence brand known for extremely high absorbency and premium products with top-of-the-line features. This guide will help you learn more about Abena and its products and determine whether they’re the right fit for you or a loved one. 

Abena is a manufacturer of high-quality incontinence products benefiting anyone with incontinence. These include:

• Tab-style briefs (overnight only)

• Pull-up Underwear (overnight only)

• Bladder pads (moderate to overnight)

• Bowel pads (only brand with this product)

• Booster pads

• Male guards

Products from Abena lock in urine and bowel voids to keep wearers comfortable during the day and at night.

Abena pros include:

• High absorbency and fewer changes: Abena’s extremely high absorbency is for customers who say, “I’ve tried everything and I still leak.” The ultra-absorbency of these products allows for a long night’s sleep thanks to fewer changes.

• Premium features: Abena products include premium features such as breathable materials, advanced odor guards, and stretchy side panels.

• More eco-friendly: Abena has more eco-certifications and environmentally friendly raw materials than any other brand.

Abena cons include:

• Price point: Because of the premium quality and features of Abena products, some budget-minded shoppers might prefer other brands that cost less.

• Made outside the U.S.: For buyers who prefer to purchase products manufactured in America, Abena doesn’t fit the bill. The company is based in Denmark.

Abena Abri-Flex Pull-Up Underwear 

This absorbent underwear comes in four absorbency levels. Even the lowest absorbency level is comparable to the most-absorbent overnight underwear from other brands. These pull-ups also have comfortable, soft backing and an advanced odor guard.

Hear it From a Caregiver

• “No need for a booster pad!” Customers used to layer a wearable incontinence product with a booster pad often find that with Abena’s extra absorbency, they don’t need the pad.

• “My husband is able to get 12 hours of sleep!” Customers report getting up less often for nighttime changes, resulting in superior rest and less risk of falls.

• “These are too bulky!” Some customers choose Abena’s bulkier and highly absorbent products for added peace of mind. In some cases, they end up choosing a more discreet option with less padding if it turns out they don’t need the premium support Abena provides.

1) “Is an L4 a level 4?

Abena’s product naming structure includes the product size (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL), then the level (1, 2, 3, 4). For example, a medium in a Level 2 is called an M2, and a large in a Level 3 is called an L3. Double-check the size and level information before ordering to avoid getting a product that’s too big or too small.

2)Are the pull-ups unisex?

All Abena pull-ups and tab-style diapers are unisex.

Abena products are well-made, highly absorbent, and a favorite among many. They protect during the day or at night and are especially suited for people with heavy incontinence. Abena is unique because it provides a dedicated pad product for those experiencing diarrhea.
