Purely out of curiousity, I would like to know what nappies or pads you get if you are given products by your local NHS Continence Service.
When I was first given nappies on the NHS, back in about 2008/9, I lived in Colchester, and I was given the old blue plastic-backed Euron Form tape on nappies. After a couple of years, due I suspect to a takeover or merger between companies, they were changed without notice, and I found myself wearing ID Expert slips. In 2020, I moved to Nottingham, and the Continence Service there issued Tena nappies, and I was able to get Active Fit slips.
Unfortunately, last year I was forced to move again to a different area of Nottinghamshire. To start with I continued to receive Tena Active Fit, but then I received a letter from the Continence Service informing me that they were changing from Tena to Attends, a very backward step in my opinion as the Attends is a far inferior product when compared to Tena. I don't understand why they have done this; initially I assumed that it was down to cost, but having compared prices on a couple of websites it would appear that in some cases at least, Tena work out cheaper per nappy than Attends.
Anyway, as I say I am curious to know what brand those of you who get nappies from the NHS are given, and what area you live in.
