Amazon Basics Incontinence Underwear for Women, Protective, Disposable, Postpartum, Maximum Absorbency, Large, Lavender, 54 Count (3 Packs of 18)

I don’t usually leave a review, but this product has been so impressive, exceeded my expectations, and has brought my confidence and life back to going out about the town or spending time outdoors where there are no outhouses available, that I just had to write this positive review to hopefully help others. I have been wearing this Amazon brand now for 4 months and they are the best fit, most comfortable and excellent protection without leaks compared to other name brands I’ve tried. The multi-elastic stretch around the body is so comfortable, you do not feel like you are wearing a “diaper”. And the elastic around the leg secures the great fit. There is bulk in the padding but it does not feel bulky at all when worn; I am still able to wear them with my tight-fitting jeans comfortably. BTW: I found that in order to avoid leaks, don’t do this crossing-the-legs-to-try-and-hold-the-urine-back to attempt control of your bladder while heading to try and make it to the nearest bathroom (panic leg crossing only distorts the position of the padding and protection which = leaks since your aim now went to a non-padded area or the leg opening). You have incontinence, accept it, relax and let go into this disposable underwear. On extended outdoor excursions, I add a booster pad to build up absorbency to an additional 2 or 4 cups of liquid depending on the pad you use. The booster pads are also much easier to change in/out of in a situation where the bathroom location is not very clean or convenient to take off your pants to change out of your disposable underwear. I carry along with me small black plastic bags to discreetly carry out and dispose my soiled pads. (I’ve even used a doggie poop bag in a pinch when that was all I had). I initially tried using diapers with side velcro tabs to work around the inconvenience of having to remove my pants to get to my underwear to change but have yet to find a brand that provides even a decent fit (they have all been big, bulky, unstable in fit and unreliable in protection). So the booster pads added to the disposable underwear is a great work-around. This Amazon brand disposable underwear is surprisingly amazing! I wear them everyday all day. And for someone with sensitive skin issues, these have given me zero problems. They also work great for those with fecal incontinence.

I recently made the switch from pads to disposable pants after several years of not-quite-good-enough coverage. It was a difficult transition, because no one wants to truly admit they have a problem with incontinence. I suffer from urinary urgency and pads were great for a long time. But my weakening bladder began putting the pads to the test, and I began experiencing unacceptable & uncomfortable leaks. I tried a major brand of underwear first and they weren't bad. But I found they were very irritating to my skin. The protection was awesome though! I felt SO much more secure than when wearing pads I knew I was on the right track. After researching everything available, I realized cost would def be a consideration. Disposable pants are more expensive than pads. So I figured it was a no brainer to give Amazon brand another try. They had provided me with a great quality pad for many years, at a very affordable price. So why not? I bought the XL as recommended by the chart and the fit is perfect. I like the construction. They feel soft, stretchy - but sturdy, and not like they are liable to fall apart at any moment. The material is just the right thickness. After you have them on for an hour or so, they just feel like underpants. The leg openings are somewhat high cut, but that's ok for me. I have always bought high cut panties, so once again - perfect. There is no obnoxious perfuming to these pants which I'm grateful for. I imagine that is what caused the burning skin irritation in the other brand. Still I'm not finding odor to be that much of a problem. It's only natural for urine to have odor. But it is absorbed and contained in such a way that the smell is minimal. I can't say I've tried every brand on the market. But I read plenty of reviews by folks who say they have - and still ended up buying Amazon. So I couldn't be better satisfied. Excellent product, great price, and I have the added security I need. Look I know it's hard to buy this kind of product. Nobody wants to feel like they are losing control of their life; and incontinence is exactly that, if anything is! But you really need to take this bull by the horns and manage it. There is never shame in caring for yourself and your personal dignity. Being in denial and walking around in wet clothes is 1000 times worse. You will get used to wearing these pants pretty fast, as I did. And chances are, you won't ever want to go back to life without them.

These Amazon Basics protective underwear have been a complete game changer for me. I personally use them during my menstrual cycle, and they provide outstanding protection with maximum absorbency. Since I started using them, I haven’t had a single leak or stain, even on heavier days. They fit comfortably without feeling bulky, stay securely in place, and offer great coverage, which gives real peace of mind throughout the day and night. The lavender color is a nice touch and makes them feel more like regular underwear than a medical product. What I appreciate most is how dependable and comfortable they are for extended wear. The material feels soft against the skin, breathable, and irritation free, even after many hours. They are easy to use, discreet under clothing, and eliminate the stress of worrying about accidents. Whether used for postpartum recovery, incontinence, or menstrual protection, these deliver excellent performance and reliability. I truly recommend them 100% for anyone looking for effective, worry free protection.

FOR THE MOST PART, THESE ARE PRETTY GOOD. THE ONLY THING I DO NOT LIKE IS I THINK THE REAR AREA COULD BE A LITTLE LONGER IN LENGTH. I GOT THESE FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW AND SHE STATES THAT THE COMFORT IS FINE AND SLEEP QUALITY IS PRETTY GOOD. THEY DO NOT HAVE A FUNNY SMELL TO THEM AND ADHESIVE STRENGTH SEEMS TO BE PRETTY GOOD AS WELL. THE DESIGN OF THEM FROM THE REAR AREA SEEMS TO RIDE UP IN BACK OFTEN.
