Tena ProSkin Unisex Incontinence Adult Diapers, Maximum Absorbency, Extra Large, 12 ct

I am a 78-year-old, semi-retired but still active man who has worn diapers 24/7 for incontinence for many years. I had been wearing a premium adult diaper costing nearly four times as much as these Tena ProSkin diapers. After five days wearing them, I can say that Tena ProSkin diapers' coverage (the size of the “diaper mat”) is better than I’ve found with some much higher cost premium diapers. Absorbency is much better than I expected. During the day, I will need to change every four to five hours, on average. A single diaper, so far, has been adequate for overnight use. Mild to moderate bowel incontinence has not overwhelmed the ProSkin diapers.These diapers feature a "cloth-like" outer shell which feels a bit flimsy on the sides. Sizing is what I expected, neither too big nor too small. The leg guards and elasticized leg openings are effective, but there is no elastic at all in the waistband. A plain cotton panty over the diaper and underneath plastic pants provides a snug, comfortable fit and added protection against leaks.I have found the wetness indicators on Tena Proskin diapers more useful than wetness indicators on other diapers. A line of yellow chevrons (I don't know what else to call them) turns blue as wetness spreads through the diaper. As I'm changing, a quick look at the number of chevrons remaining lets me know how close to "maxed out" the diaper was when I decided to change it.Tena ProSkin diapers do "wick" or spread the moisture throughout the diaper, as well as or better than any other diapers I've used. The one leak I have experienced so far (my own fault) was at the rear of the waistband, which was not completely covered by the plastic pants. Moisture had spread completely through the diaper. I had not noticed how much I was wetting and didn't change within a reasonable time. The diaper was not uncomfortable and the leak was minor.I began looking for a more effective diapering solution when I began to need three of the premium diapers per day instead of two. Replacing three premium diapers with six Tena Proskin saves $3.45 per day, which adds up to over $100.00 per month. On some days, five diaper changes are all I require.I had NOT been looking forward to switching to lower cost diapers. These were the third low-cost alternative to premium diapers I tried, and they were a happy surprise. Their performance and value has far exceeded my expectations. I don’t feel that I’ve “given up” anything by using Tena Proskins.

These are less likely to leak than the pull-up style of diaper, as you can control the tension around the leg hole area. If I’m having a bad day with my alcoholism, these are the ones I prefer to wear as they are easy to change and VERY absorbent…I am oftentimes waking up to a full diaper, but I figure it’s been good for a couple of voids, compared to the pull-up style, where I can get away with one void, oftentimes with caveats. The fit is variable—you control the tightness—but I never find them uncomfortable. The adhesive tape can be a bit fiddly, particularly during installation, but once you’re in place, everything holds until you need to readjust. Once you’ve voided, you will experience bulkiness, so bear that in mind if you’re wearing in public…maybe experiment before going out so you know what you’re outfit choices can handle (don’t wear light colors or thinner fabrics…jeans tend to hide more). As for value for money—they get the job done and they are HSA eligible, so if you have good insurance, you won’t really notice the cost much, but they are definitely cheaper than another brand I’ve used, north shore. They’re great for a lazy day at home, running errands all over town, and overnight use. Just be aware of what you’re getting with any incontinence product.

Been using for my bedbound mom for probably 7 years now. Tried many, many options - this is best overnight, with gel absorption & is a testament to maintain healthy skin tissue.They do fit small - she’s skin & bones & we still buy a large to acquire the goal of a quick change (she’s not always cooperative) 🤞🫶

Comfortable, very absorbent, discreet, and affordable. I also really like the cotton-like material, feels like I'm wearing actual underwear. My one complaint is that it runs a little small. I'm on the larger side, I always thought I was like a 46-50 as most of my pants are around those sizes, I saw a similar review saying they run small, so I got the largest one at 60-64inches, I was just able to get the tapes on without ripping them. Next time, I might try the stretch briefs.

These are the best I’ve ever used!

These adult disposable diapers are NOT slip-on. You must assemble them around the body yourself. They do not have an elastic waistband and will fall off if you walk around in them.They are very absorbent and work well for the bedridden.

I bought these to use as a better alternative to adult pull-ups. The adult pull-ups were leaking too much; you can't release a full bladder into them. I've used these Tena diapers once, and the absorbency difference was insane! I felt dry the whole time, and upon removing the diaper, the urine was completely solidified into a gel substance. Since I've never used tabbed diapers by myself, it was very hard to put it on the first time. After a quick YouTube search, (and a lot of creepy adult baby videos) I found a decent tutorial on how to diaper yourself. So, diapers are good, definitely worth the money, you get so many of them! Make sure you have adequate storage before buying these. The packs are big and hard to conceal, so if you're trying to be discreet, under the bed in a box is probably the best option for storage.Update:I've used these about 15 times now, and they are garbage! I was totally mislead the first time I used them. These diapers rip really easily and don't stay up. They're definitely not made for the female form. They pinch and won't fit around my hips, even though the size chart said I should get the medium. Plus, when I try to put the diaper on the tabs rip right off with the smallest amount of pulling. I think these are better for someone who is bedridden, rather than somebody who is active with heavy incontinence issues.

Have repurchased multiple time. Love convenience of on-line shopping and this is a quality product
