We regularly feature new incontinence products in our news section but this does help people who may be after some more information on our existing products. So going forwards, on a regular basis we’ll be reviewing some of existing products, starting today with Tena Slip.

Tena Slip is one of our best selling products and is one of the most popular incontinence pads not just in the UK but globally, thanks to it’s combination of high absorbency and excellent design which means that it stays in place and also doesn’t break down even when reaching full capacity.

Tena Slip is an all-in-one incontinence pad, that is a large shaped pad which fastens in a diaper style with the sides of the pad wrapping around the body and fastening at the front with two adhesive tabs (top and bottom) on both sides.

The benefit of this style of product is that it is easy to apply to an individual without them having to fully remove clothing, however it is designed to be applied by a carer rather than the individual themselves so is primarily suited to less mobile individuals. For more mobile people requiring the same levels of absorption then we would recommend Tena Pants or Tena Flex.

Tena Slip is designed for heavy or continuous urinary incontinence and can also be used with faecal incontinence. It is available in three levels of absorption – Plus (Approx. 1000ml), Super (Approx. 1400ml) and Maxi (Approx. 1800ml). Selection of the correct absorbency is dependent on specific needs but often people will select one absorbency level for day time use (Plus or Super) and then use Maxi at night time to reduce the risk of any leaks over the longer period the pad will be in use.

Tena Slip has a number of other features which contribute to it’s excellent performance:

* It’s “Superfit” Band allows the fixation tapes to be resealed and repositioned without tearing the pad helping you ensure a secure and close fit.
* A “No Rustle” waterproof backing.
* “Twin Core” technology for fast absorption.
* A “Stay Dry” layer next to your skin locks the moisture in the pad and keeps you feeling dry and comfortable.
* A Wetness Indicator helps you identify when product needs changing.

All Tena Slip pads are available in Small, Medium and Large sizes and Tena Slip Plus is also available in an Extra Small size making it suitable for children or people with smaller frames.
