Fannie got tired of looking for a comfortable brief with heavy absorbency. When she found Breezers®, she was happy to see that they are both hypoallergenic and that they contain aloe, chamomile and even some vitamin E and that is great for healthy skin. Wearing them, Fannie feels confident when she gets to visit her family for the day. Breezers have quicker absorbency and superior protection from urine leaks. They are so quiet to wear, that she often forgets she's wearing an adult brief at all. The cloth-like material and breathable zones avoid that awful hot feeling she used to aleways get and help to maintain healthy skin. This keeps Fannie comfy. Odor Guard® works to decrease unwanted urine odors. The tape tabs aren't sticky, but "stick" all over the cloth-like back sheet. They are so soft. And Fannie has less problems putting them on all by herself.

 

 

Attends® Extended Wear Breathable Briefs are Attends® most absorbent brief for extended and overnight wear. That’s all Stephen had to see online! Now the airy and comfortable breathable side panels keep Meg’s skin drier and healthier. Now she can sleep through the night without waking up in a puddle. Thank goodness for small favours. The home health aide told Stephen to find an adult diaper with a soft  inside layer. And to make sure that the back layer is comfortable, discreet and promotes healthy skin, or she would be just miserable while battling her illness. "Listen, she’s sleeping right now...and it turns out,” notes Stephen, a sales rep for the local lumber mill, "that these Attends are more absorbent than most others." Why? "Well, these briefs have extra SAP* mixed in with that fluffy stuff. And that stuff works!”

Little does Stephen know that there is so much more; like the 3 layers which combine to reduce urine pH, hold urine in the core with SAP* and keep urine from getting back out on the surface near Meg's skin with the uniquely successful Micropore® lining. This combination increases absorbency, promotes healthy skin and "checks odor at the door!" The extra-wide, soft and pliable tape tabs really do fasten anywhere for a comfy fit and added security, according to Stephen. (Shipped in discreet cartons)

*SAP stands for Super Absorbent Polymer.

Sometimes Leslie thought that he would never have another dry night or a non-smelly day at school. Then, in between playing Ice Cuber, a platforming and run and gun video game, he found TENA® Youth Briefs online. They are just what he needs to conquor his heavy (sometimes moderate) bladder control issues. He came across the answer to his young dreams. The InstaDri Skin-Caring System™ helps keep him dry, so his skin is much healthier these days as he blasts away at his buddy, Fu-han, another gamer in China. The friendly transfer layer allows urine to almost go right into the inner core, so Les can sit, uninterrupted, for hours at a time. Dry-Fast Dual Core™ technology quickly pulls urine away from his very fragile skin. Patented placement of SAP (Superabsorbent Polymer) holds onto the urine, and that means that where he "goes” it "stays.” Les likes that the SUPERFIT™ refastenable tape zone with printed positioning stripes allows for comfortable, multiple repositioning for a better fit. Dad likes the less waste part. A  wetness indicator shows when Leslie's brief is ready to be changed, so Mom has stopped waking him up in the middle of the night lately. Ah, he loves to get that sleep again. (Latex-free)

 

Phyllis is not an ornithologist, but she is a bird watcher. Ever since her Grampy explained to her the difference between a Blue Jay and a Blue Bird many years ago, she has just loved their songs, their flights, their feeding frenzies. It’s love that has Phyllis at the window with her binoculars every day, and out in the back yard filling the feeder every week, not science. She used to be able to join her girlfriends on day trips to observe birds in their locales, but increasing urine leakage got in the way. But now Invacare® Breathable Briefs have her confident that she will be with some twenty or so other birders at the local arboretum this spring. Isn’t life wonderful? These briefs are so soft. The material is soft as cotton. They are just so comfortable. And there's nonoisy rustling any more, so they are more discreet too. Remember, noise is a no-no when trying to spot a new species! The briefs are so airy, that she is sure they help keep her skin healthier. But it's the new tabs that easily refasten, that Phyllis likes when out in the field. Reattaching her brief after visiting a portable ladies room, is so much easier now that the tabs attach just about anywhere. This feature also gives her the personalized fit she has been looking for. And she doesn't worry as much about leaks anymore. This works out very well should our Audubon member actually find a real restroom during one of her field trips.The fecal containment zones hold waste better than before, help keep her skin dry, and they combine to keep odor to a minimum.

"Hey! Is that a Pileated Woodpecker? Look!"

Invacare® Premium Briefs have a unisex design with a soft elastic waist and an airy fabric-like construction that provides maximum comfort and reduced skin irritation for Penny. She feels more comfortable these days, and thanks the breathable zones, which allow air to freely migrate to her skin. Penny has needed help maintaining her skin wellness since her fall, and subsequent decreased activities of daily living (ADL). Other plastic type briefs made her very uncomfortable, but Invacare® Premium Briefs seem to reduce that pesky heat build-up. The leg cuffs have provided this former librarian added protection against any leaks, and the wetness indicator signals when the brief has been soiled.  Her part-time aide likes this feature…less unnecessary changes. The Easy Lock Fasteners® reattach for improved fit and comfort. They securely grip and hold anywhere on the brief without being sticky. This comes in handy during trips to the bathroom and especially during physical therapy (PT). The super absorbent with a stay-dry top sheet offer her better skin protection than before, and the odor-resistance make sure she has improved discreetness. After years of telling kids to "Shush,”  Penny is happy that these briefs are very quiet when she ventures out of the house. This heavy reader now feels safe when she uses Invacare® Premium Briefs for her heavy loss of bladder and bowel control. (Latex-free)

Prevail® StretchFit™ Briefs are comfortable. Rebecca feels secure with the way they fit her. The side panels stretch, giving her more confidence as she runs her busy department at the bank. These side panels and the tape tabs are much easier to hold and to grip than the other brands she has tried. She can adjust them until they are just perfect! That's important because no one knows about her "little secret," and she would like to keep it like that. Rebecca likes how the Dual Easy-Lock® Refastening Strips hold without being sticky.

Norma Jeanne wasn’t always a pants suit wearing, soccer mom. She was a tough minded, maximum workout, mini skirt wearing exec on the fast track. Then along came her "little angels.” Three beautiful children involved in every single activity ever invented: soccer, karate lessons, violin, piano, lacrosse, pee wee football, tee ball, you name it. Then along came Unexpected Leakage. Yep, adult incontinence, but it got more expected and more frequent as she was diagnosed with an increasingly debilitating illness. How was she going to fit this in? Adult diapers? Oh brother! Soon after she had begun struggling with incontinence briefs, her girlfriend turned NJ onto TENA® Flex™ Belted Briefs, Size 8. It was on the sidelines of a soccer day on a particularly dreary day. Our daunting mom immediately found TENA Flex™ to be both faster and easier to remove than any old fashioned / traditional adult diaper. This was especially important when having to change in tight corners such as Port-a-Potties during a tournament.

NJ did her research: TENA Flex™ is rated very well by caregivers. It is great for folks who are bedridden, need assistance or have easily injured skin. This one-of-a-kind belted brief minimizes the need for lifting. And TENA Flex™ has been shown to reduce the risk of back strain on nursing assistants. All this makes changes less annoying for the patient. Norma Jeanne also appreciates the thin, discreet design with outstanding dryness, a backsheet that lets air circulate, and improved comfort.  Her hips and thighs aren't even covered, like with other products. All this makes for drier skin, no chaffing and a happy soccer Mom! 

NJ certainly appreciates the odor control for total freshness. (Available in Super or Maxi protection levels)

 

 

 

 

Tommy doesn’t remember getting hit by that car on his way home from school, but he remembers every minute in rehab, and every hour lying in that hospital bed, and every day waiting to go home. Fifteen years old, and he will never be able to walk again. Tom has been washed, wiped, cleaned, jostled, turned, etc. every day. The worst was the adult diaper changes. Then one day, his favourite home health aide brought in a bag of TENA® Flex™ Belted Briefs, Size 12, she had found online. No more bulky adult diapers for this paraplegic high school student. This unique adult brief makes changes more bearable for both Tom and his aides.

TENA Flex™ seems to be both more simple and much faster to change than any traditional adult diaper. It turns out that TENA Flex™ has become favourably ranked by and for bedridden patients, needing help or having delicate skin. Tommy has found this new type of belted adult brief to decrease his need for getting lifted and jostled around…a plus for Tommy. And because there is less lifting with TENA Flex™ his caregivers don't always call out with back pain. All this makes changes less annoying for the patient. Tommy also likes the slim profile for much drier skin. It's airy. It prevents damp skin. It's just more comfortable. His hips and thighs aren't even covered like with other adult briefs. No more chafing or sweatiness . All of his visitors from school appreciate the lack of odor. These things keep Tommy fresh all day. (Available in Super or Maxi protection levels)

Martin first encountered this very different belted brief years ago while on a Mediterranean cruise. He was accompanied by his personal assistant and a couple of cases of bulky adult diapers. On a stop somewhere on the coast of Italy, he discovered this totally new concept for both patients and helpers. Both he and Cliff, his assistant, found TENA Flex™ to be both faster and easier to remove and re-apply than any old traditional adult diaper. It turns out that TENA Flex™ is now favourably ranked by health care workers here in the good old USA, for people who are in bed, need help or have delicate skin issues. It seems to Martin that Cliff doesn't have to lift him all over the place with this unique adult brief…a plus for Martin. And Cliff doesn't complain of back aches as much anymore with TENA Flex™ ...a plus for Cliff. All this makes changes less annoying for the Martin. Martin also likes the thin, core and that the ability to keep his skin drier, the cloth-like backsheet is airy, and waist band technology leaves his thighs open to the air. No more clammy skin, smelly rooms and sore butt for this world traveler! Martin’s many visitors and guests never complain of any odors, for obvious reasons. (Available in Super or Maxi protection levels) 

Since encountering TENA Flex™ years ago while on that cruise, Martin was thrilled to get out of those bulky adult diapers. Both he and Cliff, his assistant, have found TENA Flex™ to be both faster and easier to apply than any old traditional adult diaper. It turns out that TENA Flex™ Maxi works at night too. Martin has found this unmatched belted brief to decrease the amount of lifting…a plus for Martin. And TENA Flex™ has shown to decrease the incidents of back injuries for staff members…a big plus for Cliff. All this makes changes less obnoxious for those using it, Martin. He also likes the narrow profile with a technology that allows for drier skin. The backsheet  is so airy, unlike plastic. This prevents his skin from getting all damp and clammy. These things are comfortable. This shape that lets the hips and thighs get some air. They aren't even covered like with other adult briefs. Martin’s wife, Helen, really appreciates the odor control. Her house is nice and fresh again. Martin likes that he gets to sleep all night again with the Maxi Flex, because he doesn't leak all over the bed anymore. (Available in Super or Maxi protection levels) 100% breathable!

 

The TENA® Classic Plus Brief is used for heavy incontinence, but is great for moderate incontinence too. Michelle uses them at the nursing home to keep the residents there comfortable and dry 24/7. So when her sister came home from the hospital with both bowel and urinary incontinence, Michelle went right to the adult diaper with refastening hook tabs. These things really do make applying briefs very easy because Michelle can reattach the tabs as many times as it takes to get the proper fit every time. Her sister likes how the soft, nonwoven material is so gentle against her skin and it is much quieter than other briefs. This affords her improved dignity over what they used on her at that medical center. The TENA® Classic Plus Brief pulls urine away from her skin quickly, keeping her skin dry and healthy while reducing urine leaks. SAP (Super Absorbent Polymers) improve urine absorption. Patented curved elastics in the leg cut-outs help the brief to just fit better with fewer leaks. Michelle sees that the patients in her care are much more comfortable...day or night. A wetness indicator tells Michelle as to when her sister’s brief needs to be changed. (Latex-free)

 

TENA® Stretch Brief, Super Absorbency, affords more than enough absorbency for use at night or for any other extended protection. Good! That’s exactly what Elisabeth needs. Her husband, Kenneth, has been soaking their bed every single night since returning from the rehab facility last month. Nothing seems to get him through the night, and he is unarousable! With all these meds he’s taking, nothing wakes him, absolutely nothing. He hasn't slept this well since he came home from the service, forty years ago. At least with these new briefs finally providing Elisabeth and Kenneth superior containment of leaks, she can get a good night’s sleep. And they keep his skin healthy too. TENA® Stretch Brief, Super Absorbency have very soft and very absorbent materials promoting a comfortable night’s sleep and when he wears them during the day, they are discreet.  TENA® Stretch Brief, Super Absorbency help to control that urine odor that sometimes happens with other adult diapers. Elisabeth really likes the moisture-proof lining that keeps Ken’s clothing and her bed linen dry…at last!  A wetness indicator shows her when they are saturated, even if Ken is still asleep. When he IS awake, he likes that these side panels stretch, and that they breathe and that they stay in put. They actually fit! Kenneth also likes that the TENA® "Surestay" Wide Hook System attaches quickly and securely again and again. Because the SAP or Super Absorbent Polymers lock liquids away, his skin is always dry and never irritated anymore. The new backsheet is soft and makes less noise as well. All in all, he notices that these briefs help to reduce odor, and they fit better in the crotch because of the patented curved leg elastics. His helpers like the color-coded system which makes it easier and quicker to find and apply the correct product for their patients. 

 

Vera was the Belle of the Ball in her younger days, but now she may be either confused or lucid…or both. Because of her age and of her inability to get up and out of bed, or her wheel chair, she always needs total assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ACTs). It often takes both her husband and a home care aide to get her out of bed and into her wheel chair in the morning. With Vera’s moderate to heavy bladder, and sometimes bowel, incontinence, TENA® Night Super Brief's maximum absorbency for nighttime or extended protection helps decrease her high risk for skin breakdown.

 

The InstaDri Skin-Caring System™ helps to keep her drier than before and helps keep her skin healthy. There are fewer leaks too. Unique Hook Fasteners promote easy handling almost limitless refastenability, especially when the aide is able to toilet Vera. OdaSorb Plus™ - specially treated fibers that decrease odor-causing bacteria help to keep the house fresh. Curved Leg Elastics help these briefs fit better, and keeps leaks way down. They are more comfortable for Vera…especially at night. A wetness indicator shows the aide that the brief might have to be changed. The nonwoven backsheet is so soft  against her skin and they are way less noisy, providing some dignity for Vera. 

 

Now her son, Billy, is a hunter, and last year in November he "borrowed" a couple of Mom's TENA® Night Super Briefs for his annual hunting trip. Woooo! These babies kept him in his deer blind for the entire day. "Those Supers can hold a full day of whatever I can drink!" exclaims our hunter. So he has ordered some for himself in planning this year's hunt. His buddies are splitting the case with him.

 

TENA® Night Super Briefs are shipped in discreet shipping cases. (Latex-free)

 

Beth is bedridden and needs total assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). She really needs added absorbency and outstanding protection from leaks from both her urinary and her bowel incontinence. Otherwise, she is at high risk for skin breakdown related to incontinence. Her caregivers say that the TENA® Ultra Brief, with the InstaDri Skin-Caring System™, affords her healthier skin and just leaks less. A Patented transfer layer pulls urine into a unique two layered core, helps to keep skin dry. The Dry-Fast Dual Core ™ technology quickly pulls urine away from the her delicate skin and simply traps it in the second core for more security and increased skin health. The SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) helps the brief hold onto urine throughout the brief...not just in the center, like some other products out there.

Unfortunately, Beth has lower extremity contractures from her immobility, making products more difficult to apply. The unique Hook Tabs promote easy application and unlimited refastenability. The Patented and unique Curved Leg Elastics just fit better, and offer better protection from unwanted leaks and are plainly more comfortable than other adult briefs Beth has worn in the past. Because Beth may be alert or confused at times, and because she may have only minimal verbal communication, it’s a good thing that the wetness indicator shows when her brief may need to be changed. The non-woven material on the backsheet is so soft gentle against her delicate skin. The TENA® Ultra Brief is much quieter, more comfortable and just so more dignified than those old super market adult diapers. She doesn’t need noisy adult diapers to depress her any more than she already is. (Latex-free)
