Usage & Application

Sizing & Preparation:

• Verify Small/Medium size matches user's waist/hip measurements per package sizing chart
• TENA Comfort Pants are fixation garments only—not absorbent on their own
• Must be used with TENA Comfort Pads or TENA Shaped Pads
• Wash new pants before first use per care instructions
• Have appropriate TENA pad ready before putting on pants
• Ensure skin is clean and dry before application
• Select pad absorbency level appropriate for user's needs

For Facility Use:

• Label or code pants for individual residents if needed
• Establish rotation system to ensure even wear across inventory
• Track washing cycles to monitor pants condition
• Maintain adequate supply per resident (typically 3-6 pants each)
• Train staff on proper application and care procedures
• Document sizing needs for each resident
• Inspect regularly for wear and replace as needed

Selecting the Right TENA Pad:

• These pants work with TENA Comfort Pads (rectangular shaped pads)
• Also compatible with TENA Shaped Pads (contoured design)
• Choose pad absorbency based on incontinence level
• Pad should fit comfortably within the mesh pants without bunching
• Consider day vs. night absorbency needs
• Facilities should stock multiple absorbency levels

Application:

1. Insert selected TENA Comfort or Shaped Pad into mesh pants before wearing
2. Position pad centered in the crotch area of the pants
3. Ensure pad is lying flat without wrinkles or folds
4. Assist user to step into pants one leg at a time like regular underwear
5. Pull pants up to waist level
6. Adjust elastic waist to sit comfortably at natural waistline
7. Check that pad is properly centered and aligned
8. Ensure mesh holds pad snugly against body
9. Verify pants fit smoothly without bunching or rolling
10. Adjust as needed for comfort and proper pad positioning
11. Check fit under clothing to ensure discreet appearance

Checking Proper Fit:

• Pants should feel snug but not restrictive
• Elastic waist should sit comfortably without digging in
• Pad should remain firmly in place when user moves
• No visible lines or bulges under clothing
• Leg openings should be secure without binding
• Mesh should hold pad without excessive compression
• If too loose, pants may be wrong size or worn out
• If too tight, consider next size up

Throughout Wear:

• Check pad position periodically, especially after bathroom use or transfers
• Adjust pants if they shift during movement
• Replace pad when wet or soiled per normal pad-change schedule
• Keep pants on while changing pads for continuous protection
• To change pad: pull pants down slightly, remove soiled pad, insert fresh pad, pull pants back up
• Monitor skin for any signs of irritation from mesh fabric
• Ensure elastic waist doesn't roll or bunch during extended wear
• For facility use: document pad changes and skin condition per protocol

When to Change Pads:

• Change pad when wet or soiled—pants can remain in place
• Typical pad change frequency varies by absorbency and output
• Light incontinence: 2-4 pad changes daily
• Moderate incontinence: 4-6 pad changes daily
• Always change pad after bowel movements
• Change before bedtime for overnight protection
• Facilities: Follow scheduled toileting/changing protocols
• Never exceed pad capacity to prevent leakage

Care & Washing Instructions:

1. Remove soiled pad and dispose of properly per facility protocol
2. Remove mesh pants
3. Rinse in cold water if heavily soiled before washing
4. Machine wash in warm water on gentle cycle
5. Use mild detergent only
6. Do NOT use bleach—may damage fabric and elasticity
7. Do NOT use fabric softeners—reduces breathability and elasticity
8. Air dry for best longevity (hang or lay flat)
9. Alternatively: tumble dry on low heat per care label
10. Do not iron or dry clean
11. Inspect pants after washing for signs of wear or damage
12. Replace when elastic loses stretch or fabric shows significant wear

Facility Laundry Best Practices:

• Establish separate laundry cycle for incontinence products
• Use facility-approved detergents only
• Avoid overloading washing machines
• Maintain water temperature per care label
• Implement quality control checks after laundering
• Track pants through laundry system to monitor condition
• Replace pants showing signs of wear promptly
• Document washing procedures for staff training

Maximizing Pants Longevity:

• Wash after each day's use for hygiene and durability
• Rotate through inventory to distribute wear evenly
• Avoid hot water—may damage elastic fibers
• Never wring or twist pants—may distort shape
• Store in cool, dry place when not in use
• Keep away from sharp objects that could snag mesh
• Typical lifespan: Several months with proper care
• Replace when elastic becomes loose or mesh loses integrity
• For facilities: Maintain replacement schedule based on laundering frequency

Bulk Inventory Management:

• 12-pack allows adequate rotation for 2-3 users with daily washing
• Order replacement inventory before current stock depletes
• Track usage rates to optimize ordering
• Store in clean, dry area away from contaminants
• Use FIFO (first in, first out) system for stock rotation
• Maintain adequate backup supply for emergencies
• Document inventory levels and reorder points

Troubleshooting:

• Pants feel too tight: Try Medium/Large size or check if shrinkage occurred from hot water/dryer
• Pants feel too loose: Verify correct size measurement; may need smaller size or pants may be worn out
• Pad shifts during wear: Ensure pad is properly centered; pants may need different sizing
• Visible lines under clothing: Choose looser-fitting outer garments
• Skin irritation: Ensure pants are thoroughly rinsed; discontinue fabric softener use
• Elastic rolls or bunches: Adjust waist positioning; may indicate sizing issue
• Pants lose stretch: Replace pants—elastic has reached end of useful life
• Inconsistent sizing within box: Contact manufacturer if quality issues persist

When to Replace:

• Elastic waistband or leg openings lose significant stretch
• Mesh fabric develops holes, tears, or excessive thinning
• Pants no longer hold pads securely
• Visible wear makes pants ineffective
• Persistent odor despite proper washing
• Discomfort or skin irritation develops
• Generally: Replace every 3-6 months depending on frequency of use and care
• Facilities: Monitor and replace based on laundering cycles and inspection
