The best TENA nappies, compared.
Top pick: TENA ProSkin Pants Maxi, medium, 10 count Best value: SUNKISS incontinence pants for women, ultra thin, small/medium, 20 count – Lowest unit price in the set, about £0.50 a pant, at 4.3 from 821 ratings. Updated October 2026.
If you are choosing nappies on amazon.co.uk, you are choosing a disposable adult pull-up or a taped slip, not a pad and not a washable pant. The useful order is format, then who the core is shaped for, then hip size, then price per piece. A line that promises 100 percent security is advertising, not a measured result. This comparison lines up twelve listings: TENA unisex pants, TENA pants, pants, one taped slip, and two products. A correct hip measurement matters more than the word large, and absorbency words do not share one scale. NHS supply is local and usually follows an assessment, so most people still pay for the first packs. Use the [TENA nappies buying guide](/hub/personal-care/tena-nappies/sub/tena-nappies-buying-guide) for when a taped slip should replace a pant.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Can they put the product on themselves?
This TENA ProSkin Pants Maxi is a unisex medium pull-up, 10 pieces at £13.29, about £1.33 each. The listing shows 4.8 from 14 amazon.co.uk ratings, and only three of those reviews are on file, so the star line is still thin. Those notes praise the fit for an urgent family need, and two short comments report no leaks. One review says the sides tear off, which lets a carer remove the pant. The three reviews on file contain no repeated criticism and no written recurring defect, which leaves the gaps unknown. Maxi is listed as moderate to heavy for 8 hours, and "100% security" is listing copy. The weight attribute says 64–82 kg, while article family 794563 is given as hip 80–110 cm on a UK professional page, so check the hip before you rely on the weight band.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a small unisex Maxi pack quickly, and a carer may need to tear the sides off.
Less suitable: You want a judgement based on a large review sample, or you are treating 4.8 from 14 ratings as settled.
Specifications
Common questions
How many reviews are on the listing?
14, at 4.8 out of 5. Only three review texts are in the saved listing.
Can the sides be torn to remove them?
One review says the sides tear off for changing. The bullets do not say this.
What is the model number?
794563-2.
This is the top pick here: TENA Pants Maxi medium, model 791170, a 40-piece pull-up at £38.08, about £0.95 each, with 4.7 from 3,747 amazon.co.uk ratings. Carers call them the best pant they have found for an elderly parent, and a full urine accident was absorbed when the pant was changed promptly. One reviewer found them comfortable after a hospital stay, and a women's UK 22/24 wearer says medium fits. Reviewers who want reassurance prefer them to cheaper brands. The title's 2,500 ml is a claim only. A UK fitting guide lists 1,050 ml working absorbency for article 791170, and those two figures stay separate. Change the pant soon after a full void, because leaving it raises the leak risk and feels less comfortable. A minority report skin rub, including one comparison of the leg to a cheese grater, and some say this version is weaker than the previous one while still acceptable.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are buying a medium Maxi pull-up for an older relative and you can change it promptly after a full void.
Less suitable: You are taking the title's 2,500 ml as working absorbency, or you leave a full pant on for comfort.
Specifications
Common questions
What does 2500 ml mean here?
It is the title claim. A UK fitting guide lists 1,050 ml working absorbency for article 791170, the model on this listing. They are different figures.
What is the pack price?
£38.08 for 40, which is £0.95 a piece.
Who is the audience on the listing?
The attribute says women. A different Maxi listing in this set says unisex.
The large TENA Men Level 4 pull-up is listed for hip 95–125 cm, 40 pieces at £34.21, about £0.86 each, with a front core and 12 hours stated. The 4.6 from 15,273 amazon.co.uk ratings is a shared pool with the medium pack, and Level 1 pad comments sit in it, so that count covers more than this pant. Pant-specific lines describe a light, comfortable fit, dry clothes, and a reorder for a male partner. One UTI review says a full bladder release was absorbed without a leak. Price is called competitive, and keeping them on subscription is mentioned. Many of the written comments describe small leaks. A heavy night is thinly described, and the pant-specific lines are quiet on hardware defects.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a men's large Level 4 pull-up and your hip is inside 95–125 cm.
Less suitable: You are reading all 15,273 ratings as reviews of this large pant alone, or you need notes that describe a heavy night.
Specifications
Common questions
What hip size is large?
The listing says 95 cm to 125 cm.
Are these pads or pants?
The product is pull-up pants. Some reviews on the listing are about Level 1 adhesive pads.
Do they claim odour control?
Yes. The bullets say odour control and a dermatological test.
This men's TENA Level 4 medium pack is 48 pull-ups at £34.99, about £0.73 each, the lowest unit price among the TENA pants here. The size field says medium, with a front dual core and odour control stated. The same 4.6 from 15,273 amazon.co.uk ratings is shared with the large pack, and Level 1 pad reviews in that pool describe a different product. Pant lines in the shared pool mention dry clothes, low odour, and a full void contained, and the pack is called good value. The bullet copies a size L hip of 95–125 cm from the large pack, so using that range on this medium picks the wrong hip. Listed hours say 4, which conflicts with 12 hours on the large pack, so wear time stays unclear. A weight field of 15.7–25.3 kg cannot be used as adult-medium fit advice.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already know you need the men's medium Level 4, and you ignore the large-pack hip sentence on this listing.
Less suitable: You size yourself from the 95–125 cm bullet, or you treat the star count as medium-only.
Specifications
Common questions
What hip size should you use?
The size field says medium, but a bullet says size L, 95-125 cm. Do not use that sentence for this pack.
How many are in the pack?
48. The listing price is £34.99.
Are the 15,273 reviews only about this size?
The large and medium listings show the same review count. The text also includes Level 1 pads.
Across 2,251 amazon.co.uk ratings at 4.6, these TENA ProSkin Pants Super are a unisex large pull-up, 12 pieces at £12.93, about £1.08 each. Reviewers say they feel like ordinary pants and are easy to use, and repeat buyers mention a soft feel with fast absorbency. One family calls the leak protection suitable overnight. The listing says Super, moderate to heavy, for 8 hours, and "100% security" is advertising copy. A hip band is missing from this file, so check large on the wearer. The medium 80–110 cm range belongs to a different pack. At least one reviewer leaked on first use, and another called them fine for a trickle, short of a full void. Some of the review text is about a different TENA pack, and a medium ordered by mistake did not fit.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a unisex Super pull-up in large for moderate leaks, and you already know large fits.
Less suitable: You need cover for a full void, or you are choosing between medium and large without a hip band on this listing.
Specifications
Common questions
How many are in the pack?
12. The listing price is £12.93.
Are they unisex?
Yes. The listing says unisex adults.
Is a hip range printed?
Not in this saved listing. Do not assume the medium hip band.
Across 521 amazon.co.uk ratings at 4.6, this unisex TENA Pants Maxi is a medium pull-up for hip 80–110 cm, 40 pieces at £56.49, about £1.41 each. Daytime reviewers say wetness stays in the core, and some find the pants less bulky than other pants they have used. They are described as comfortable and easy to pull on and off, and carers reorder them. The listing states odour neutralisers and heavy bladder weakness. The 24-hour field is an unmeasured attribute. Price is called high, and this pack costs more per piece than the other medium Maxi 40-pack, model 791170. Some wearers find medium too big, with XL preferred around a women's UK 18, and a few low scores are about delivery.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a unisex Maxi pull-up for daytime use and your hip is inside 80–110 cm.
Less suitable: You are shopping on price per piece, or you wear around a women's UK 18 and already find medium large.
Specifications
Common questions
What hip size is medium?
The listing says 80 cm to 110 cm.
Who are they for?
The listing says women and men, unisex.
How many pants are in the pack?
40 (4 x 10). The price on the listing is £56.49.
Across 1,006 amazon.co.uk ratings at 4.5, these Always Discreet Boutique pants are a women's high-waist medium, listed for UK 8–14, at £16.00 for 18 pieces, about £0.89 each. Reviewers call them soft and underwear-like, including after birth, and darker pairs are described as slightly bigger and harder to see. They hold bladder leaks when the size is right, and one UK 14/16 wearer found medium comfortable. Medium feels small on a UK 12–14 and dug in, and one older wearer found them too small overnight, with a bed leak. The box shows the pants, so the delivery is obvious, and the box photo did not match what some people received. Overnight, latex-free, and machine-washable are asked on the listing and left unanswered, so treat them as a disposable pant.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a women's high-waist medium that looks closer to underwear, and your size sits inside UK 8–14 with room to spare.
Less suitable: You need overnight cover for a larger leak, or you are a UK 12–14 who already finds medium pants tight.
Specifications
Common questions
What dress size is medium?
The listing says UK 8-14 (EU 36-42), high waist.
Are they machine washable?
That question is on the listing and is not answered. The attribute says disposable.
Is the packaging plain?
Reviewers say the box shows the product.
Across 855 amazon.co.uk ratings at 4.4, these Always Discreet Normal pants are a women's large pull-up, listed for UK 16–24, at £16.00 for 20 pieces, about £0.80 each. Reviewers who wore them through a full day and for sleep say they cope with bladder leaks, and some also use them after birth or for a heavy period. Odour is described as held through the day, which matches the stated Odour Lock, and people who cough on top of stress incontinence call them useful. Several reviewers who compared them prefer them to pads and to Amazon's own pants. Large still runs small against other large pants, so the UK 16–24 label is a loose guide. A full bladder emptying at once can leak, side seams split in more than one review, and the box prints the product, so the parcel shows what is inside.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a women's large pull-up for daytime leaks, coughing, or a heavy period, and you can check the fit inside UK 16–24.
Less suitable: You empty a whole bladder at once, or you need a parcel that hides the pants.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is this pack?
The listing says large, UK 16-24 (EU 44-54). It does not give a hip measurement in centimetres.
Are they disposable?
Yes. The listing says disposable.
Does the listing state overnight use?
Overnight is asked on the page and not answered in the bullets.
These SUNKISS briefs are a taped unisex nappy in XXL, 15 pieces at £21.98, about £1.47 each, with 4.3 from 3,383 amazon.co.uk ratings. When the size is right, reviewers report no leak, and the tapes hold for hours for some wearers. Odour control is stated and repeated, and some people find them softer than a hospital product. A wetness indicator is printed on the brief. One reviewer was fine while standing and leaked when sleeping, which matches other notes that night leaks show up after daytime standing leaks have been contained. XXL is much too large for a smaller waist, the tabs meet at the back, and the crotch is bulky enough that people keep them for home. A printed weight of 85–115 lb conflicts with XXL, so leave it out of fitting, and the pack includes no instructions.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a taped XXL brief for daytime standing, and the waist really is an XXL.
Less suitable: You need cover while lying down at night, or you want a thin pant under clothes.
Specifications
Common questions
Pull-up or taped?
Taped. The listing describes tabs and elastic waistbands.
Is there a wetness indicator?
Yes. The line is said to disappear when a change is due.
What is the pack price?
£21.98 for 15, which is £1.47 a piece.
This is the best value in the set: SUNKISS women's pull-ups, small/medium, 20 pieces at £9.98, about £0.50 each, with 4.3 from 821 amazon.co.uk ratings. The highlight lists UK 6–16, dual leak guards, and 12 hours, and the pants are sold as ultra-thin. Reviewers who have had a void report no leak, and absorbency is called fast. They sit thinner under clothes than a dearer branded pant, one carer says mum prefers them, and they are used after birth. The waistband rolls at the front and back, and the cut runs larger than the clothing size suggests. One reviewer has not had a leak yet and withholds a judgement on capacity. Odour control is absent from this file. A thin pant still leaves a taped slip as the choice if leaks are heavy in bed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a low-priced women's thin pull-up in the small/medium range listed as UK 6–16, and you can size down if pants usually run large.
Less suitable: You need a taped slip for heavy leaks in bed, or you want a waistband that stays flat.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is stated?
Small/medium. The highlight says UK 6-16.
What is the price per piece?
£9.98 for 20, which is £0.50 a piece.
Are they latex-free?
The listing attribute says latex-free.
This MoliCare Premium Elastic is a taped unisex slip in XL, printed as 140–175 cm, with 8 drops, a wetness indicator, and 14 pieces at £14.29, about £1.02 each. It carries 4.3 from 508 amazon.co.uk ratings. Reviewers who use it overnight say the tapes refasten and they stay dry for several hours, including on long journeys. A wide back pad suits a back sleeper, and one full-time user reported no rash. The waist is stretchy enough that the tapes overlap and the front creeps down, and a tape that fails to stick is followed by a leak. Side sleeping is the weaker match, because coverage is thin at the side and the slip sags when full. Urine odour is said to return after about 4–5 hours, bulk is why some people keep them for night only, and a printed weight of 20–35 kg conflicts with adult XL, so leave that field out of fitting.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a taped night slip for back sleeping, with tapes you can refasten, in the XL 140–175 cm range.
Less suitable: You sleep on your side, or you want a thin pull-up you can wear out.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a pull-up pant?
No. It has reclosable tapes and elastic side panels.
What size is XL?
The listing says 140-175 cm.
Does it have a wetness indicator?
Yes. The listing also says it is for urine and faeces.
This Always Maximum large pack holds 48 pull-ups at £54.00, about £1.13 each, and the listing sits at 3.1 from 73 amazon.co.uk ratings. Some long-term users still call the pants comfortable for day and night. The repeated complaint is a redesigned pant that feels flimsier, with a split core and side leaks through a thin layer at the leg. Absorbency is described as lower than the previous version, the elastic waist fails for some, and there is no blue bow to show front from back. A UK size 20 struggles to get the large on, and one reviewer cuts the leg opening because it is tight. The attribute says reusable, while the reviews describe a disposable pant, so washability stays unclear.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already wear this large and you are replacing an older pair you still find comfortable for day and night.
Less suitable: You need the previous Maximum build for a heavy leak, or you wear around a UK 20 and expect the old ease of fit.
Specifications
Common questions
Can these be washed?
The attribute says reusable, but the reviews describe a disposable pant. Treat washability as unknown.
What size is the pack?
Large, 48 pieces (4 x 12). No hip range is printed.
How are they rated?
3.1 out of 5 from 73 reviews, with repeated comments about a thinner redesigned pant and side leaks.
Scores use the amazon.co.uk star rating, review count, shelf price, and pack count stored for these twelve listings. The stored score starts as the star rating multiplied by 20, and a listing with fewer than 20 ratings loses 30 points. There is no laboratory wear test. Price per piece picks the best value and does not change the stored score. A shared review pool, a copied size bullet, or a title millilitre is written beside the stars and is not subtracted again.
Amazon star rating
60%The stored score starts as the amazon.co.uk star rating multiplied by 20. That is why 4.7 becomes 94 and 3.1 becomes 62. The highest stored score is the top pick.
Review sample
25%A listing with fewer than 20 ratings loses 30 points, so 4.8 from 14 ratings is stored as 66. A review pool shared by two sizes, or mixed with a different product, is noted beside the stars and is not deducted again.
Price per piece
15%Shelf price divided by pack count, in GBP, decides the best value. It does not change the stored score. On this set the lowest unit price is about £0.50 a pant.
Choose format before brand. Pants if the person can dress themselves. A taped slip if a carer changes someone in bed, or if leaks are heavy, overnight, or faecal. Then match the hip, then compare price per piece. The product table is the twelve amazon.co.uk listings. This guide is the order of that decision. A star rating with fewer than 20 reviews is too thin to treat as settled.
Tena nappies, for a UK shopper, means disposable adult pull-up pants and taped slips on amazon.co.uk. It does not mean a pad, and it does not mean a reusable washable pant. The twelve listings here mix TENA unisex pants, TENA Men pants, Always Discreet pants, one MoliCare taped slip, and two SUNKISS products. You tell them apart by format first, then by who the core is shaped for, then by hip size, and only then by price per piece.
Large is not one hip. TENA Men large here is 95–125 cm. Always Discreet Normal large is listed as UK 16–24, and reviewers say it runs small. Measure the hip, then read the band on that pack.
The title on model 791170 says 2,500 ml. The UK fitting guide lists 1,050 ml working absorbency for article 791170. They are different claims. Do not shop as if the pant holds 2,500 ml in use.
A pull-up is for someone who can dress themselves and for urine. Only the MoliCare listing names faecal protection. Heavy night leaks and side sleeping are the case for a taped slip, not a thin pant.
Format is the first split. Pull-up pants suit someone who can dress themselves. In this set that is TENA Pants Maxi and ProSkin Super or Maxi, TENA Men, Always Discreet Normal, Boutique and Maximum, and the SUNKISS women's pants. You tear them at the sides to take them off. A taped slip suits a carer who changes someone in bed, or leakage that is heavy, overnight, or faecal.
Hip size beats the word large. TENA ProSkin Pants Maxi on the UK professional page is S 65–85 cm, M 80–110 cm, L 100–135 cm, and XL 120–160 cm. TENA Men there is S/M 75–100 cm and L/XL about 95–130 cm. Always uses UK dress sizes: Normal large is listed as UK 16–24, Boutique medium as UK 8–14, and reviewers often find those ranges run small. The TENA Men medium listing still prints a size L hip of 95–125 cm copied from the large pack. Ignore that sentence for the medium.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a thin daytime pant in a measured size, for urine leaks while you are dressed. The SUNKISS women's small/medium pull-up is the thin, low unit-price option in this set, listed as UK 6–16. Size down if pants usually run large on you.
You want a high-absorbency pull-up you can change promptly after a full void. The TENA Pants Maxi medium 40-pack, model 791170, is the top pick: 4.7 from 3,747 ratings, about £0.95 a pant. Check the hip before you treat medium as one size for every brand.
You want a taped slip for back sleeping, heavy night leaks, or a change done in bed. The MoliCare Premium Elastic 8 Drops XL has reclosable tapes and a wetness indicator, printed as 140–175 cm. Side sleeping is the weaker match, because coverage is thin at the side.
The top pick is the TENA Pants Maxi medium 40-pack, model 791170, because 4.7 from 3,747 ratings is the highest stored score, at about £0.95 a pant. Change it promptly after a full void. The best value is the SUNKISS women's thin small/medium pull-up, about £0.50 a pant, 4.3 from 821 ratings. It is the lowest unit price, and it is still a thin pant, so a heavy night leak belongs in a taped slip such as the MoliCare Premium Elastic. Price per piece does not change the stored score. It only decides that best-value pick.
