Yes, nowadays in 2017 those products are easily obtainable basically anywhere in the world so it's not a problem. I have done a lot of traveling, been in SEA - Vietnam, Thailand, Serbia, Bulgaria and Ukraine which are considered third world countries and I had no problems ordering my products online or even getting them in local shops after some time of research. I'm glad that we live in times when products for our needs are so easy to obtain, I couldn't imagine living in third world country 30 years ago for example and struggle with being incontinent, I really feel bad for all people that had to suffer this back in the days.

Tewi- I'm relieved to hear that your medical concern does not require immediate and aggressive treatment, and that your Mayo doctor is on board with monitoring the issue. I hope you can spend a day or 2 in Minneapolis to rest a bit before heading home. Best regards,

W.

Hi folks, we are back in Ukraine and I found Tena Slip Plus diapers being sold in store called Epicenter, which is like Home Depot, but also sells clothes, plants and health and beauty aids. It's huge and has quite a lot of products. The price for a pack of 30 is $13 US Dollars. I was able to buy a package of 10 Seni Super Plus medium diapers for about $8.00 Dollars. That was at a pharmacy near where we are staying.

I am now back in Israel and want to again recommend the folks at http://www.goldpharm.co.il/
Yagel (syagel@gmail.com) has been my contact and they have done an excellent job of allowing me to order products before leaving the US and delivering them to our hotel in Jerusalem. This year my wife is along and we both ordered products. I ordered a package of 14 Abena M-4 diapers, a package of 14 of the Abena Abriflex M-3 pullups, a package of 24 of the Tena Slip Maxi diapers all for me. We also ordered two packages of 8 each of the Depend women's pullups. The total for the order was around $75.00 USD. The website in in Hebrew, but Google Chrome will translate it for you. I don't know why the Depend are sold in such small packages! Shipping is completely discrete, in an unmarked package.

This allowed me to just bring enough products for the first 6 days or so and not have to ship a suitcase full of diapers! We are here working on a TV show for 3 weeks. I have enclosed a photo. Only one of the Depend packages is in the photo.

In Finland, all Minimani, Prisma and K-Market -stores keep a supply of Tena Pants Plus. I know it's a bit on the light side but for those of us needing less heavy protection it's a good thing to know. The Minimani-stores also carry Abena Abri Form and Flex in 4's in M and L. Most pharmacies also have lighter incontinence products.

It doesn't surprise me that Abena products are available in brick-and-mortar stores in Finland. It would be nice to have that availability here where I live. Thanks for the info.
