Tena ProSkin Incontinence/Bladder Control Underwear for Men, Maximum Absorbency, Extra Large, 56 ct

Nice product, much better than Depends. The pad also extends to the back for better protection and the grey color is uniform over the product, so it doesn't have an obvious white pad in the middle like an athletic supporter. Very good value. They don't seem as much "just like underwear" as the premium Depends Real Fit, but in all other ways these are better. I can't use Depends Real Fit; they don't work for me. I would pay more for these than the Depend product because aside from the "just like underwear" look, these are superior in almost all ways. The Depend non-woven fabric fits a bit tighter, but the tradeoff is that the pad has to be smaller and can't come up the back at all. Lets face it, even with the Depend Real-Fit most people who need these are going to avoid situations where they are standing around in their underwear with strangers. The Tena are good enough for a slight glimpse of waistband that people won't notice, so I would rather have a product that works a whole lot better than one that looks a tiny bit better. BUT, as another reviewer had mentioned, it is hard to tell front from back, and every once-in-a-while I need to take them off again and turn them around. Like the other reviewer said, many of us have multiple health issues and that can be a battle my arthritis doesn't need first thing in the morning when my hands already resemble lobster claws. EDITED TO ADD: I've been using the Tena product a lot more lately and over time I've gotten much better at doing this and I've only mixed it up once in the last three months. I'm raising my review up from 4 to 5 stars. That small issue aside, these work well, fit well and look pretty good for what they are. I am less embarrassed to be seen in these by medical people than other products.

Comfortable and not bulky. My 91 year old dad wears them daily

The underwear product is great BUT I am hoping that the manufacturing people will please consider a change in the identifying colored stitching on the back of the underwear. I really cannot believe a group of people decided that it was a good idea to put blue on gray. It can barely be seen even with good eyesight let alone poor eyesight. It is a huge stressor for the people using the underwear and the caregivers as well. PLEASE rethink the coloring and change your stitching to something that stands out......like RED or YELLOW.

meaning the undergarment itself is fantastic but have a back up plan; ie if you're at work keep a bundle in your locker, desk or backpack (you can lock with a luggage padlock). I'm 60 y/o and scheduled for prostatectomy due to bladder blockage via enlarged prostate. I use a foley catheter and it takes the bulk of fluids but I get trickle streams due to the muscle spasms which often flow outside the catheter. The undergarment works well for this but as a backup I also use Solimo Incontinence Guards for added protection. When I feel the urge I gently press both the pad and undergarment to get maximum absorption. They're both inconspicuous if you wear loose fitting trousers, slacks. In addition to the above I also keep 4-5 extra underwear in my locker, a change of pants and shirt (not related) because again, NOTHING is fail proof, nothing worse than feeling 98F liquid pouring down your leg as you walk to a meeting. Lastly, if you are anticipating heavy urine flow or on a long trip consider a condom catheter.

I was looking forward to the Tena ProSkin Maximum Absorbency Underwear to solve a few problems I am having with other brands. But in use of the first two of these I am very disappointed. First the good: These are very comfortable and well made. The "Tear Away" seam is substantial and heavier than other brands I've tried. It does not tear apart while using the product. This Tena item does not shed lint or fuzzies like several other brands tried so no fuzz balls getting all over my clothing and the house or sticking to my hands. Now the bad: The very first thing I found was that there is no indication of what is the front or back on these. The package said to look for a "blue waitband stitching" but that is NOT to be found on these at all. I now have to determine the front/back by a visual inspection of the cut of the item at the crotch with the fuller part being the rear. Despite the package labeling of five blue drop dots out of eight, these LEAK and do NOT hold much. It leaked so bad the first one dripped on the floor when I took it off. In fact, Tena had send a sample of their Super Plus Underwear which shows only 4 drop dots out of five, the Super Plus was actually more absorbent that these Maximum with five drop dots. So I felt confident that an Underwear showing five drop dots would be better than ones showing four drop dots so I ordered these ProSkin. MUCH to my surprise they are NOT as absorbent as the Super Plus! So now since the remaining of the packages are not returnable I'll be using booster pads to increase the holding capacity of the ProSkin Underwear I have left. I find the whole "Drop Dot" indication of absorbency used by most adult diaper manufacturers not very usable and misleading - not very accurate in trying to determine absorbency either within a brand's offerings or across brands. Very few brands actually state the CAPACITY of absorbency of the items they offer. I guess they are afraid to do so.

We have been buying these for my Father to use and they have proven to be comfortable and reliable. Definitely will keep buying these over other name brands that are more pricey.

Very absorbent. My husband finds them the most comfortable and less hot out of all the brands we've tried. My one complaint, there is no mark to tell which is front & which is back.

Really good stuff, very comfortable and secure

The product does not fit as well as it should, and leaks from the sides. I have had to wash my bed sheets more than once due to this. My problem is at night while I'm asleep and this "Protective Underwear" cannot be counted on during this crucial period. I had ordered another box thinking that the bed wetting was a fluke, and Amazon refuses to take back a box of "unused product" of exactly 80 of the same type. I have ordered another product by Tena, one that is used in hospitals. These should be OK during the day, I use them because of medication I take to remove water from the body. But they are a gamble when you are asleep.
