Always Discreet Incontinence & Postpartum Underwear for Women, Disposable, Maximum Absorbency, Extra-Large, 45 Count

**UPDATE** I have now ordered some of the protective pads also. I like the quality and protection of these underwear so much that I figure why not give the pads a try? I will use the pads for daytime use and continue using the underwear for nighttime when I am feeling especially incontinent. Seriously, ladies, the underwear will change your life if you have been relying on the usual brand pads. I never used Always brand for mentrual protection, but their underwear are the best. I am hoping that the pads will be as good. I want to try them because the price is so good for the quantity and because I want something for daily use when I'm feeling more confident but still want some "backup". Just in case...These underwear a seriously a must-have for things like traveling or anytime I will need be unable to get to a bathroom at regular intervals. I will NEVER travel without them again or attend long meetings and seminars. I just wish I had learned about them sooner.I hesitated to write this review because of the sensitive nature. However, I like this product so much that I have to tell other people about it.Like a lot of women, I suffer from incontinence brought on by medication and a health condition. Also, I admit, age! LOL Before taking certain medications, I had "normal" age-related incontinence. Sneeze-and-leak, laugh-and-leak, you know - the usual stuff. I was able to wear the various pads from my local store. Now though, I have problems just making it to the bathroom without having heavier accidents. It doesn't help that I am also now trying to drink a gallon of water each day. I understand that the "urges" to pee every 5 minutes will pass in a few weeks as my body gets used to the additional fluid intake. We'll see... In the meantime, I have to deal with saving myself embarrassment from these urges to pee all the time.My best friend told me about another brand of underpants, but I didn't find them. I saw these on here and decided to give them a try. I'm glad I did. For one thing, they are affordable. The biggest thing though, is that they really are discreet.I felt a little weird about wearing these instead of my regular underwear. With pads, I still wore panties and that just felt more normal to me. The first day that I used these, I did feel kind of silly putting them on. They don't look like regular panties and my first thought was that they looked like something a hospital or nursing home would give someone to wear. Or that they looked really big and a lot like a diaper, So I was a little sheepish about trying them on. Once I did get them on though, I realized that they look very much like regular underwear. This "classic" cut isn't very sexy looking! LOL They are more like the plain panties I wore back when I was having a period. They don't look that bad once you get them onThe most important thing is how well these work. I can only compare the protection and comfort to Poise pads and cheaper/store brand versions of them. Here is how these compare, in my opinion:1) These are more comfortable to wear. I don't have to worry about pad lines showing. I wear a lot of yoga pants and these underpants do NOT show any kind of outline underneath. Even when these get damp, they still don't show. With the pads I used, I have to be very careful about placement and, when the pads got the least bit damp, I had to worry about them "swelling" and bunching up. I was always making sure to keep the seat of my pants covered until I could change to a fresh pad.2) These keep my body smelling fresher. The pads (especially Poise brand) would get a rank odor after wearing them a while. Even without urine dampness, there was just a weird and embarrassing odor that I noticed when using the bathroom (when the pad was exposed). I have noticed that even when these get a bit damp, I don't have to rush off to the bathroom to wash up and change.3) These keep the wetness away from me. That sounds weird, but when I was using pads, if I did have the smallest accident, I could feel the uncomfortable wetness. I ended up using a couple of pads a day at least. That adds up. If I couldn't get to a bathroom, I had to just worry about being smelly and uncomfortable. That kind of defeats the main purpose of using something as a safeguard. I could almost forget that I had a small accident while wearing these. I actually was in bed sick with a virus and wore one of these after a pretty big coughing induced accident. I was so glad that I was comfortable and clean-feeling enough to continue resting before I got up to change.Anyone who has never had to deal with incontinence just won't understand how much it impacts your confidence and esteem to be an adult having "accidents". There have been times that I wouldn't get close to people because I was worried about odor or appearance. One time when entertaining company, I sat for hours until everyone else left because I was afraid my pad had failed me.Like I said, I have not tried other incontinence underpants, but I am so pleased with these. I ran errands yesterday and today (after drinking half my daily water requirements!) and it was the first time ever that I wasn't worried about being embarrassed by one of my "accidents". These don't bunch up when they get damp and I don't have any of the problems with not being fully protected. I don't care how well you place a pad, sometimes after an accident, you find that you weren't protected - either on the sides of the pad or at the back or front. Then, if you do get a longer length and wider pad, you feel like you are walking around with a diaper between your legs. It's just very uncomfortable and makes you feel self-conscious. These underpants solve all the problems related not just to incontinence, but also with confidence.WARNING: Be careful to change as soon as you get one more than a little bit wet. I was stuck on a car trip for a couple hours before I could change and ended up with the start of a UTI. Thankfully, I was able to clear that up with home remedies (mainly drinking water Ceylon cinnamon water for a couple of days) but this was a lesson!!!

I have been using a different brand because I thought it was the only brand with a 2xl size. Had to change once to three times a day. So I ordered these to give them a try when I saw they had a 2xl. Wow! Not only do they fit so much better, like a pair of underwear would, I only need one a day. They are also super soft.

I bought these for my 92 year old mother. Over the years, she has tried almost every brand out there, but has never been satisfied with any of them. They didn't fit well, they leaked, they weren't absorbent enough. I was so happy to hear from her that these addressed all of her concerns, In fact, she told me that these were the best ones she'd ever tried! At last!

What I disliked about this product is the left side is not sewn the same as the right sideThey do, however, work well enough to do what I needed them to do.They perform great at night while sleeping and coughing as they do not wet my bed. This is very important.They also work as I am having tremendous bleeding from hemorrhoids and weren’t well. Well I am having this issue.You cannot see them under your clothes and they are not hot as you wear them .I recommend this product, but I asked the company if they will check their machines and correct the stitching for the left side and then they would be perfect .💜👍🏻

Loved that these keep everything together. Much better than those mesh underwears. Don’t hesitate and get them!

Ordering these depends online for my mom, I came to find out it was a great deal it's best to properly order online from Amazon you get more for your buck.

Loved these for postpartum, however I wish they didn’t have a scent. It’s pretty strong but something I got over quickly.

Everyone recommended the momfrida stuff for post partum. No! Get yourself a huge pack of these!!! These things are AMAZING for post partum. 10/10 loved and I used them both times. Easy and simple and they are comfy!

I was able to have them delivered to my mom in a seniors home. She likes them and can’t drive to get herself. She was very pleased to receive them from across the country.

My mom has used this product for years. She finds them easy to use. However, recently the packaging changed, and the box it comes in has a *lot* more glue, which makes it very difficult for her to get into. She said this most recent package took her a half hour to open due to how much glue there was.

I actually ordered this for an elderly friend and she is very satisfied. She said they fit well and are comfortable.

Comfy and good absorbency, just very strong scent

Je suis très satisfaite, je les aime beaucoup.
