Tena isn't the only option, there are other brands and own brands such as Boots.
There are other options such as penile sheaths, compression devices, body worn urinals and catheters.
Speak to your GP. Medication can help some men and you may be entitled to pads on prescription. You will get good advice on which products and / or medication will best suit you

Hi HFLJ2020
Very interested in your question as ever since I had my prostate removed due to cancer 12 years ago, I have suffered from "leakage". I spoke to my GP and said that apart from doing pelvic floor exercises there isn't a lot that can be done. I took to using Tena Men Protective Shield ( the "lowest" of their range) and have been using them ever since. I find that if you get on with them ok, then you can "bulk buy" them - cheapest being Amazon. I have looked at Boots own etc., but the price is the overriding factor. Tena from a chemist etc are £4 per box of 14, from Amazon (I buy 10 boxes at a time) it works out at around £2.50 per box.The price from Amazon varies every time I buy some but still a big saving. Hope this info is of some help, if you need any more, please repost for my attention.
All the best

What one wears for 'leakage' depends upon just much of it there actually is.
The most commonly sold product is 'level 2' pads. (It's generally the only level that, say, supermarket own-brand products can be found for). They're perfectly good enough for men who, like me, might get a tiny (but embarrassing) dribble when, say, lifting a leg to tie one's shoelace. However they won't be anywhere good enough for men who've got little, or no, control over their bladders.
Tena Men 'level 2' pads are sold in all large supermarkets, as well as in pharmacies. Supermarkets generally charge either £4 or £4.50 for a pack of ten, with independent pharmacies tending to charge closer to a fiver for them.
Similar supermarket own-brand products typically cost £3 for 10 but some are much better than others. For example, Morrison's own-brand ones are much the same quality as the Tena Men ones and are what I use. On the other hand, Asda's own-brand pads seem to just be women's pads that have been repackaged; they're not as wide as either the Tena Men or Morrison's ones and it's easy to get leakage to one side of them. So I definitely don't recommend those.
