The perfect incontinence pad for me
First, me: various autoimmune issues (including MS), power chair, full release incontinence, idea of self-catheterization makes me want to cry.This product has been the best of many I have tried (these are basically in order of effectiveness):1. Poise Incontinence Pads for Women, Ultimate Absorbency, Long, Original Design;2. Always Discreet, Incontinence & Postpartum Pads For Women, Size 6, Extra Heavy Absorbency, Long;3. TENA Incontinence Pads, Bladder Control & Postpartum for Women, Overnight Absorbency;4. Rael Organic Incontinence Liners Long Organic Bladder Control Liners, 4 Layer Core Protection with Leak Guard Technology (these were a laugh - for me).The Poise brand seemed to work the best at containing the problem (including another type of incontinence - lol).Then the thickness of the pad started to cause some problems. I started getting a few pressure spots (even after getting a new power chair cushion).I just dealt with it (I REALLY did not want to move to catheterization). Then one day while I was reordering, I saw these - Poise Ultra Thin Incontinence Pads. I said what the heck and ordered a box. They came, I saw how thin they were, and thought oh this will be funny - but I tried them.They worked, wow did they work. These will hold an insane amount of liquid and barely thicken. The length ensures it will take care of front and light back incontinence and the thickness is barely noticeable. I have a couple pairs of washable absorbant underwear and these were a lot more comfortable (I could also still wear my favorite underwear).There are no "wings", but there are sort of short walls/lips/edges? I guess is what you would call them gathered along the edges that fit in closely to your body. These almost completely eliminate side spills (unless you are going for a Niagra Falls record). The only underwear spots I am getting are the occasional heavy flow edge marks and back edge spots (heavy flow moving faster than pad can absorb and spotting past the end of the pad) due to sitting.I am very impressed with this pad and have ordered more of them. The quality is always perfect (Tena worked, but they were thick and occasionally you would get one without adhesive; I really did not find the Always to be effective for my type of incontinence). Now remember, I do not have leaks. I have a 30s warning then all hands on deck. However, they do make some lighter strength ones that would probably work just as well for leaks. These would last you all day even with multiple leaks and I have never had any odor problem with them (there is also no perfume smell to them).So if you also are looking for the "perfect" incontinence pad, this one is awfully close (in my opinion of course).UPDATE: 03.24.23As a funny-ha-ha, I decided to stick this to the kitchen counter, get a measuring cup with 2 cups of water and pour away. Reason? The female bladder can hold around 2 cups of urine. Now this was a volume test, NOT a speed test - so slow pour.So, I started pouring, pouring, pouring, still pouring ... At about 1 1/2 cups, things started to get a LITTLE out of control with end leaks (not side) - so I stopped. By that time, the pad was approximately 1 inch thick - wow. (So maybe like those little sponges that blow up huge when thrown in water?) It is some type of super absorbant material. (Really wish I had filmed this - but then people already look at me funny.)By the way, if you wait until you have 2 cups in your bladder, you MIGHT want to consider setting a timing alarm on your watch/phone/computer/etc to remind you to pee regularly!So, STILL my favorites!

Provides a sense of security
Comfortable, leak proof and not bulky. The large box is good value for the money.

I find they do catch better….
Update: I cannot tell which size people are writing about. Some say they stick too much, some say not enough. One woman posted pads that are filled with urine. Yuck. I never let mine get that full. No wonder she is having a problem. Bad for the body to be sitting in urine like that. I just don't think these pads were meant to be worn all day…no pads are.I put the pad up a little higher than I used to and they catch everything in the middle. I change them four or five times a day. Otherwise the urine burns.So glad they finally made a thinner product. I wear a five over night, and alternate between #4 and #3 during the day, according to my activity. I would like for them all to be longer.I think that the little extra "fabric" at the edges is a detriment. Maybe they put it there to keep from overflowing (??) but it tends to act like a wick and overflow! That's because it keeps bending down under the pad. Should just be a straight edge…if you are going to wick it, wick it down the middle!Another complaint I have about any of these pads. Why not make the very front wider like underwear? Cover groin to groin! Instead of leaving it so that there can be leaks if a burst comes along. Do women design these pads or men? Other than that, I like them. Comfortable. Work well.All that said, I have found that these grab the spurts and dips better than others. You do have to put the blue part up further in your panties to get the full benefit. I am surprised at all the super negative reviews. I think over all these live up to their ads. I do wish they made a longer one in the #3…haven't found it YET.I also believe that the front area needs to be widened, and the adhesive carried all the way up somehow. I'm getting used to them. Some people say that the adhesive is too strong and rips fabric, but they really must be wearing light undies and must be ripping hard I think. I have never ever had that problem.

Absorbant
I wear these when I do acrobatic trampoline for the occasional burst of liquid. They are absorbent and work well, but they are soooo bulky. The thickness is ok, but they are so wide that they bunch up and make it look like I have a huge camel toe. I have to cut the sides to make them useable which defeats the purpose of buying this style.

Very good product
These are better than any others I have tried. They lay flat, do not bunch up and absorb well. The only thing wrong is the same thing wrong with all pads.....the sticky stuff on the back does not hold. Hard to believe that every single pad on the market does not have enough glue to hold a pad in place. What is wrong with all lthese companies?
