* Compared with TENA liners and pads together with regular underwear. Calculations were made using Life Cycle Assessments – a tool for calculating environmental impact of products or services (read more about LCAs here) In the scenario assessed, two TENA Washable Absorbent Underwear (washed 50 times at 40°), were compared to an equal mix of three disposables with one pair of regular underwear.

How does reusable incontinence underwear work?

They’re designed with a built-in protective gusset, made of four layers, for invisible protection and to keep you dry and secure, giving you TENA triple protection against leaks, odour and moisture. 

1. Moisture wicking layer – the soft top fabric quickly drains the surface to keep your skin dry.
2. Double super absorption layers with odour control –absorbs and holds liquid, with odour control to keep you fresh.
3. Liquid barrier layer –keeps liquid in the product.
4. Breathable body fabric – stretchy, ultra-soft and breathable to keep you comfortable and feel like your regular underwear.

Simply wear them, wash them, then wear them again. We guarantee kept functionality for 50 washes at a 40° mild wash. The product can be used for longer, though we can’t guarantee the same performance. Using the product after more than 50 washes will not change the safety use of the product.

How to wash and care for reusable incontinence pants

Your washable absorbent underwear should be machine-washed on a 40° mild wash, and can be put in the washing machine along with your other clothes in similar colours. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Hang them out to dry or tumble dry at low temperature, but do not iron or dry clean them.
