Why Choose TENA Extra Protective Underwear

The InstaDri Skin-Caring™ system actively draws moisture away from skin and locks it into the core, reducing prolonged skin contact with urine that can cause irritation and breakdown. The full-rise design provides better coverage during bending, sitting, and movement than standard-rise underwear, preventing gaps and ensuring security throughout the day. The pull-on style maintains independence and dignity for mobile users, while tear-away sides give caregivers an easier removal option when needed for soiled changes. The 64-count case (4 bags × 16) provides approximately 10-21 days of supply with significant per-unit cost savings compared to purchasing smaller quantities.
