TENA ProSkin Unisex Adult Diapers with Tabs, Maximum Absorbency, X-Large, 48 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.

fit well easy to put on and hold up and are absorbent

Works good for overnight. No leaks at all.

They're ok, decent capacity, the shape and with is slightly uncomfortable for walking and seams to run a bit on the small side.

Good

Tabs are not repositionable and the leak when laying down. The absorbency is good very good when standing

I am verrryy disappointed in the sizing of these pampers. I purchased a size medium, on the package it indicates it fits 34 - 47. I purchased these for my cousin who is more like a size 28 around his waist. There is no reason this pampers should have been too tight. I ordered two boxes, I only returned one because I opened the other box and had to use a few until I coukd get to the store and buy more. Upon looking further at the dimensions of the product, they reads that it is 30.51 centimeters, which converts to roughly 12 inches. Too many people are complaining about the same problem. I see a lot of good reviews, so I can only gather that those reviews got the right size and product and my product was a manufacturer defect (not made to fit correctly). If you are trying these for the first time, make sure they are not your last resort, thus once you open it and determine they do not fit, you can attempt a return.

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.
