Poise Ultra Thin Incontinence Pads & Postpartum Pads for Bladder Leaks, 6 Drop Ultimate Absorbency, Long Length, 78 Count, Packaging May Vary

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: 03.24.23 As 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! 06.27.2025 - STILL my favorites! I have not found any better. I might try the overnight type with wings but they are a bit more expensive, and from what I can tell from my accidents, wings would not have saved the day. They recently got slightly puffier (not thick) and I liked that. The liquid was less likely to run off the surface.

These thin pads hold an amazing amount of fluid!!! Love these, Thin and not and great length, not too long, and you cant see it at all!!

Poise Brand works the best for me as far as comfort & absorption. They are also the only brand I’ve been able to find that come in long length. I usually get a #2 long. These are #3 regular. Sell out fast so they will work for now. I wear mostly for precautionary measure.

A bit more expensive but definitely worth it bought these in Canada while on holiday and at home .

Poise Ultra Thin Incontinence Pads work great! Love that they are Ultra Thin so you don't feel like you are wearing a dipper. Yet are very absorbent. And the long length help prevent leaks.
