TENA Proskin Super Briefs, Incontinence Adult Diapers, Unisex, Medium, 56ct

Good diapers

Just as good as cheap depends. Ill fit, not very absorbent

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 TENA skin sensitive diapers are the best. They are very absorbent, and this protects the skin from being damaged when they are wet. I have used many different types of diapers over the years both for myself, and others, because I am a nurse, and cared for many patients. These are the best of any diapers.

Originally had posted bad review because of missing items. The seller resolved issue as soon as he was informed. The product works well and we are very satisfied with their performance.
