Better comfort at night: Introducing ABENA Slip Premium M5 & L5
Incontinence can present different challenges depending on the individual and the situation. For some people, the challenge is rapid bladder voiding or large volumes of urine released over a short period of time. For others, body position, such as sleeping on the side, can increase the risk of leakage. And at night, longer periods between checks and changes make reliable, high-performing protection particularly important. When a product cannot absorb quickly enough, does not have sufficient capacity, or does not provide the right protection for the user’s position, the result can be leakage, discomfort and additional changes - or the need for boosters and extra padding. It’s a workaround, not a solution.
What rapid bladder voiding actually means for care
Not all heavy incontinence looks the same. For some people, the challenge isn't the total volume of urine produced, but the speed at which it's released. Rapid bladder voiding means a large amount is discharged in a very short time, faster than a standard product can absorb. The result is leakage, even when the product's overall absorbency level should technically be sufficient.
This is particularly common at night, when the person is less able to signal their needs and the care team has fewer opportunities to intervene. The consequences are significant: disturbed sleep, discomfort, and additional changes that could otherwise have been avoided.
Introducing ABENA Slip Premium M5 & L5
At ABENA, we wanted to address this properly. ABENA Slip Premium M5 and L5 are two new sizes designed specifically for rapid and heavy bladder voiding. Built to absorb faster, hold more, and protect through the night, so the people in your care can sleep undisturbed, and your team can too.
ABENA Slip Premium M5 offers reliable overnight protection for individuals with rapid or heavy bladder voiding, reducing the need for nighttime changes.
ABENA Slip Premium L5 delivers the same overnight reliability in a larger fit.
Why we developed ABENA Slip Premium M5 & L5
The existing Slip Premium range has long been trusted for moderate to heavy incontinence. But over time, it became clear that a specific group of users, those with faster, more explosive voiding, were being underserved. Care facilities were finding ways to compensate, but compensation isn't care. We developed M5 and L5 to give care teams a proper solution for a need that has been there all along.
Both products are available from September 2026.
