Tena pads

Options
Hi All,

Just hoping for some money saving advice that is discreet by nature...!

I use light incontinence pads (without wanting to go into too much detail I don't 'NEED' them all the time, it's just sometimes I'm caught unawares!)

I prefer not to buy them from a shop (yes, I'm a prude lol) - I've seen quite a few sites where they're a bit cheaper online than in the shops, but often the postage outweighs the savings! It's one of the items on our shopping list that I'm struggling to cut back on. I've tried cheaper brands but prefer Tena. Does anyone have any experience of where to get them cheaper?

Thanks! *blush* lol

Also, the same thing applies with hair dye? Anyone got any ideas about where the cheapest place for Live Colour XXL is?

    You can actually get them from Tena, packs in a box of 6. The postman doesn't know what they are!!!

    Try https://www.tenadirect.co.uk No idea whether they work out cheaper, or not.

    Also, with discretion in mind, you can order online from Boots and get it delivered free to a local branch - the order is in a plain brown box. Sometimes Boots have various offers.

  • it wont help in the long term but try http://www.lightsbytena.co.uk/ for a free sample pack, they were also doing a pack for men free?! Dont know what the sizing of those are like!

    If you pick up the tesco real food magazine in local large Ts, they have an ad to cut out and apply for a free sample pack too. so that should get you 3 free packs.

    HAHAHAHA! Sizing - I like it! :o) :rotfl: I'll defo get a Tesco mag - every little helps!!! And I'll get the free lights sample (not sure it will be absorbent enough, but will try anyway)

    I've used Tena direct before but they don't look to be the cheapest online - has anyone ever used all about incontinence or value incontinence websites? Are there any discount vouchers or anything floating around? Most people seem to charge £5+ for delivery which defeats the savings. I can't find any codes for Tena online

    3-6 packs of some types of Tenas are available on eBay for less than the retail price, even with postage. Some even offer free postage. I suppose the key is to look at buying larger amounts.
