Hear it From a Caregiver
“If you are using depends you are totally missing out. This product does everything it says. My mom is bedridden and the tena has NEVER leaked out on bed. Depends does not come close.” Customers often look to TENA as a Depends replacement.
“Very comfortable fit, with a higher absorbency and fewer leaks than with most other protective pull-up underwear!” TENA products are known for having a soft, gentle fabric.
“These adult diapers come in smaller sizes, which fit my petite, tiny mother much better.” TENA offers small sizes across their briefs. This makes them a great choice for petite customers or young adults and children who have outgrown children’s pull-ups.
Commonly Asked Questions
1) “What’s the most absorbent TENA brief?”
The TENA Stretch Super Incontinence Brief, Super Absorbency is the most absorbent brief from this brand.
2) “What length is this pad?”
Customers like to know how long each pad is, in inches, before ordering. To find this information on the online Carewell catalog, simply look for the SKU number. It often appears in a small rectangular box next to the image of the product at the top of the product page. The size in inches will be listed immediately above the SKU number. For example:
3) “How much barrier cream should I use?”
You want to use a dime-sized amount. We like to say you want to “ice” the cake, not “frost” it. Otherwise, the cream can rub off on the incontinence product and make it less absorbent. This can create a barrier on the core itself, which might lead to leaks.
Takeaways
TENA is a popular brand among caregivers for a good reason. Its incontinence products fit a wide range of sizes, especially smaller sizes. It’s a well-known brand with additional products to support your caregiving needs.
