Norwegian Study identifies genetic factor in incontinence
Urinary incontinence in women is known to be linked to factors such as age, obesity and childbirth injury however a study from Norway reveals that a genetic factor is also involved and that Women are more likely to develop urinary incontinence if their mothers or older sisters also have this problem.
The scientists studied family history in a group of over 2,000 incontinent women, comparing them with 6,000 women whose relatives did not have a problem with incontinence. They found that daughters of mothers with urinary incontinence had a 1.3 times average risk of being incontinent themselves. The risk was double the average if the mother had severe symptoms.
Female siblings had a 1.6 fold increased risk of incontinence if their older sister had the problem. The gene or genes involved remain to be discovered but these findings shed new light on a the condition.

Christmas Delivery Information
Christmas is our busiest time of year and we encourage all customers to order as soon as possible for delivery before Christmas to ensure that your delivery arrives in good time.
Problems with weather this month could cause unforeseen problems and also our carriers can be busier than expected though we always endeavour to deliver on time.
To offer the best service to our customers we remain open throughout most of the Christmas Period, only closing on Tuesday 25th December, Wednesday 26th December and Tuesday 1st January for the bank holidays. (We will close at 12pm on Monday 24th December and Monday 31st December as well). Our website remains live throughout the entire period.
We recommend that orders ideally need to be received by 12pm on 19th December for delivery before Christmas Day, as we aren’t able to guarantee the service of our carriers over the festive period which is their busiest due to the large volumes of Christmas presents they also deliver during this period.
We will continue despatching orders through the Christmas period and in theory next day orders despatched after the 19th should still be delivered on the next working day but are not able to guarantee this.
Orders received after 12pm on Monday 24th December will be despatched on Thursday 27th December when our warehouse re-opens after the Christmas period.

More product videos – TENA Wash Cream
We’re slowly adding video content throughout the site to give you more information about our products. The latest we’ve added is for TENA Wash Cream.

- A non-smearing, protective film barrier
The special ingredients gently remove odour, urine and faecal residues with minimal effort and scrubbing. After cleansing the the special formulation helps restore the natural lipid and moisture balance of the skin and the protective skin film barrier minimises skin contact with urine and faeces to provide ongoing protection for fragile elderly skin.
The video gives more information on skincare and can be seen below or on the Tena Wash Cream product page.

Tena Wet Wipes Video
Skincare is very important in Continence Management. Ageing makes the skin sensitive to ongoing exposure to moisture and contact with urine and faeces, this may easily initiate skin degradation causing irritation, itching or infection. There use of wipes and cleansing products are important to maintain skin hygiene and health. TENA Wet Wipes are specifically designed for continence care and are pre-moistened with a 3-in-1 formula to cleanse, restore and protect skin with just a single wipe. Also the “clean touch” system ensures safer and easier handling as it requires only one hand to open the pack lid. Find out more about how they work with our new video.
