How can TENA assist you?
For any child, confidence is the key to happiness and success. That’s why, once they reach a certain age, children can become anxious about wearing nappies. Their feeling is that these products highlight their bladder weakness, meaning they are ‘immature’ or a ‘baby’, whether able-bodied or not.

Without sympathetic handling, this can knock their confidence and lead to withdrawal from fun and games with friends. That’s why it’s important to reassure them that they are normal, that these things happen to many other children and that bladder weakness is something they are likely to grow out of.
Their main concern will be leakage. Yours, as their parent or carer, will be their physical and psychological comfort, though you’ll also be hoping that you can all get a good night’s sleep.
For all these reasons, specialist products can really put a smile on the face of kids and those who care for them.
Appearances can mean a lot to children. That’s why we’ve ensured that our incontinence products don’t leak, don’t smell, don’t rustle and are invisible under clothes. Most important of all, they won’t make your child feel like a baby.
You will find children's incontinence products and product descriptions in our product range for children, once you have seen what is available you can order a sample of the product that you feel might be right for your child.
