Molicare diapers

[Inco24seven]

Hi does anyone else use these diapers for urinary incontinence. ? For the past five years I have been using Tena slip maxi for my incontinence . Yes I get Very embarrassed wearing them but I would be stuck indoors without them, I have found them to be comfortable to wear and do absorb a lot of urine.
But this afternoon I get a text off my Continence advisor that in a few months time I will be switched to Molicare Premium diapers. I can only think that this is a cost cutting thing by the NHS .Of course I can always stick with the Tena if I pay for them myself. So that's about five a day seven days a week, so that's about 140 a month at least seven packs . I can't afford that.
Anyone else on this site used Molicare diapers to manage their wetting.? I have looked online and the absorbtion capacity is not like my favourite Tena Slip maxi Sorry to be a moaner but...... before the Tena i used Abena they contained frequent wettings but the tapes where poor . Just done a quick calculation and seven packs of Tena diapers will cost me approx £170 a month. That is off a mail order company specialising in the sale of incontinence products.

I used them when I first had my accident in 2015 and liked them. But from what I can tell they changed quite a bit and not for the better.

Sorry they changed your brand. That’s the worst when you find something that works for you and they up and change it to something worse!

I am going to speak with my Continence advisor to see if I can get the decsion to change my incontinence protection overturned . Waste of time I expect but will try my best With the Tena slips I have very few leaks , comfortable to wear , and very discreet under everyday clothing. Ps speaking with the incontinence clinic is very stressful for me, so not expecting miracles.
