The Prevail Bariatric Brief will fit up to a 94” waist and is made for those who are active or for those who ambulate in a wheelchair. It is also made to fit both the male and female anatomy. The fabric is soft and pliable and moves with you without ever bunching up. This is especially important if you are going to be sitting for a while or lying in bed overnight. Because it is so highly absorbent, it will prevent skin irritation, but an important part of keeping skin fresh and dry is to ensure incontinence products are changed as soon as they become soiled. Although the highly absorbent materials work to wick away odor and wetness and can withstand multiple wettings, it is always best to change the product as often as possible.

TENA also offers an overnight pad that can accommodate one full bladder loss.
