20 Best Incontinence Pads For Women (2023 Updated)

This is my first time using the Always brand for incontinence protection. I suffer from sudden urges to urinate and experience ranges of voiding from drops, spurts to gushes. After many years of this embarrassing and uncomfortable experience, I believe I found the pad that best meets what I have been looking for in a pad! I was truly pessimistic that this very thin pad would not leak and that because of its very long length, they would not be discreet.

Well, thankfully, these two important concerns were alleviated. Although the pad is much longer than I would want or have ever worn, they are not one-bit visible under my clothing, even when saturated.

This has always been a concern since I do not want by clothing to appear bulky in the intimate areas. Also, I did not experience any leaks, day nor night, while wearing these. These adhere well to my underwear and do not bunch up, which also adds to the discreet trait.

I like that they can be discreetly carried in a small sized bag because of its thin size. Furthermore, the wrapping can be easily utilized to dispose of the soiled pads. Lastly, another important feature, which is not mentioned directly on the packaging, is that they are very effective with odor protection.

They have a lavender scent which I like very much yet it is a bit strong but appreciate that it is effective! The discreet name is quite fitting in so many ways and I highly recommend these as they cover all concerns I have with incontinence pads.

I have purchased this pad drop size, and length for years now and my last two purchases have been un-useable for me. I thought it might have been a fluke so I purchased again for this size and the 6 long and same thing happened.

I can smell the perfume before opening the bag, The smell does not dissipate after being opened. There was no warning that there was going to be a stronger scent and the only clue that these are scented at all is a tiny little notice that they are slightly fragranced.

They are NOT slightly fragranced. I ended up purchasing some pads for sensitive skin that I had never seen in the Always brand before right before I got this horrible scented product so had something to switch to fortunately.

But after that was gone I picked up – through Instacart shopping – the same things again today hoping they would be ok. No sensitive skin offerings online through Instacart. Both the two new bags are heavily perfumed so now I have three and a 2/3 bag of perfumed pads that are useless to me.

This is an expensive disappointment. $12. 00 to $14. 00 per bag…. On top of the disappointment, money wasted, time wasted having to shop for more and now needing to shop another time, I also had a skin reaction to the perfume.

I had to remove the pad within an hour of putting it on and fortunately had an old version pad in my purse at the time. I am still experiencing discomfort from the perfume days later. This is unacceptable.

Always Discreet, light coverage is very thin and not noticeable when wearing them. The pads are a good length and width to provide great coverage for minor leaks. The pads have a wide strip of adhesive to keep the pads in place.

No folding or shifting was experienced. These are great for allergy season when experiencing sudden forceful sneezing. Or anytime you feel you may experience minor bladder leaks. It gives me confidence to go about my day without worry of minor leakage.

They aren’t bulky at all, barely remembered wearing it. They have a pleasant mild floral scent. They are wrapped individually so you can take them with you, discreetly. The wrap doubles as a wrap for cleaner disposal.

I like the package design because it’s color coded. The light pink is the light protection coverage and it gets darker to dark purple for maximum coverage. It’s helpful when shopping because you can quickly grab which is most suitable for you without feeling embarrassed.

I would recommend Always Discreet bladder leak protection pads because they give confidence to go anywhere without worry of minor bladder leaks and no one will even know you’re wearing them.

My elderly, blind 9 pound chihuahua had 2 strokes 6 months apart and could no longer maneuver to go down his carpeted and side netted ramp to do his business in back yard like he did for first 3 years of being blind.

So my hardwood floors started to suffer despite my best efforts. I tried all kinds of cloth dog diapers (YUK!) Very thick and super stinky to wash smell out of and with a dog peeing 6 to 10 times a day? Nope, forget it.

I tried All-Absorb Disposable male wrap diapers, they worked ok, but not super absorbent for times when I wasn’t home to change them immediately. So yeah, Gross, leaks on his bed and blankets. I tried ALL Kinds of Feminine Pads, it was Hit and Miss still and despite them saying they were non-scented, my dog started to have blood in his urine and multiple trips to vet.

I finally tried these Options Pads, Size Regular, and using them inside of an All-Absorb Super Absorbing Disposable Male Wrap, finally works both physically for the dog and financially for me. I stretch out the elastic bands on a fresh disposable wrap and then stretch out the sides of these Option pads and smooth them inside the male wrap carefully.

He can pee 2 to 3 times in 1 pad and he is NOT WET, and Not leaking and NOT BLEEDING anymore. I only go through 1 actual All-absorb disposable male wrap per 24 hour period, and just keep replacing these Option pads every few hours, usually after about 2 pees or when he wakes up from a long sleep.

Hope this helps someone else with a small, bladder incontinent dog. My Dog is Happy and Dry and My Wallet is in much better shape too. Since figuring this out, I don’t have problems of him suffering from elastic pinching or diaper slipping off him like I did with cloth dog diaper wraps.

:D.

After being severely incontinent for the past 5 yrs, needing to wear full Depends, was very pleasantly surprised to discover it was caused by my muscle relaxants prescribed. When the muscle relaxant dosage was cut in half, found I was no longer incontinent.

I even got to order REAL panties. I bought pads to wear in the panties as a safety net, so to speak. I 1st bought reg. Poise with wings, I’d mistakenly thought I’d purchased Longs, finding them too short and the wings made the crotch area of the panties too tight and narrow, pinching my groin.

Very uncomfortable. Much like my Depends had felt. When ordering these, found them to be the perfect length with great adhesion. It DID take a bit of practice mastering the correct placement in my panties.

They’re in my opinion, at least as good as the Poise, if not better, and at a very good price. I even bought 2 pkgs. of them so I’ll never run out. Those along with the 12 prs. of panties bought, have me all set for a VERY, VERY long time.

I really recommend this brand. I love Walmart’s “Options” and can honestly recommend them to everyone. I highly recommend this brand.

i normally buy poise or dollar general brand, medium/moderate. ive tried several brands, and those 2 are top notch. the product says on package compare to poise, well im going to. i wanted to try these because the amount u get and the price.

well the pad is more like a light pad and the length is seriously shorter maybe 2 inches, it also has this annoying maybe half inch plastic flap above the padded area, that you can see in the picture, in front and back, which i fold over to the sticky side in the front, because it will rub your skin off.

the shape is not hour glass, but i had no wadding. As for coughing/laughing spurts well they just don’t hold up, the pad is just to thin to absorb a sudden burst. if pad was thicker is probably would.

smell, there not scented, but seem to have good odor control. all in all their not terrible, but they do not compare to poise at all, they should change that to compared to always “awful” im going to buy the heavy/long length next month and see if that solves the issues.

I was pleasantly surprised by Poise from the minute I opened the package. Packaging, overall, is standard for these types of products and more than sufficient for cleanliness and travel/portability. The package is understated, in that anyone who isn’t already aware of the precise purpose of Poise pads would not be able to quickly determine it without close scrutiny.

Something I’m sure plenty of people prefer for their hygiene products! The pads are soft, slim and individually wrapped. They’re generously sized and provide good coverage, without being burdensome or feeling like wadding.

The Poise pads adhere well and aren’t prone to moving around once you’ve placed them. They’re lightweight, which can be important if you don’t wear snug underthings! I’ve had more than a pad or two uncomfortably tug at my undies throughout a day.

Absorbency is fast and thorough, quickly feeling dry and easily lasting the day. I recommend Poise for anyone needing a bit of insurance or confidence!.

I was very comfortable while testing the Poise originals Extra Coverage overnight pads. The poise brand alone is great, but this new line of poise pads is way more than I expected and it definitely lives up to the extra Coverage description.

I slept so comfortably the first night, I was able to wake up the next morning , change the pad and it absorbed so well , there was no leakage. The road was not too bulky and the shape was perfect lengthwise and width.

I always have trouble finding pads that will live up to the claims on their packaged. This was definitely a 10 in my book. I need something that will be cost effective, as well as comfortable and I won’t have to change out so often during the day and be able to sleep though the night with.

I’ve been using these poise overnight pads for almost a week now. I’m very satisfied with this product and I would like to switch what I currently use to these. I recommend the poise extra Coverage overnight pads.

I have found that I prefer Poise to all other brands and have ordered the regular style often. I accidentally ordered these the last time I placed an order and after receiving, I thought they would not be a good use for me since I need the higher absorbency.

I do like the way they fit, stay in place and absorb. However, recently I was looking for a #6 size and just realized they are not made in the #6 size! So far, nothing I use is perfect, but these are pretty good.

I do find that they stick to my panties when I try to remove them and leave sticky bits as someone else mentioned. I really wish one of you manufacturers would make something between an absorbent panty and a pad.

which would be quite a bit wider in the front and back, yet smooth fitting. I’ve never been able to understand how to use the panties—–If you are wearing them when you’re out and about and they get wet, how do you change them? If you’re wearing pants (trousers) you need to take everything off to change!.

Thanks to @hometesterclubna I’m set for a while and don’t have to be worried about overnight accidents. @poise has this new design, Sleep Secure shape overnight pads which are trusted 3 in 1 protection; for dryness, comfort and odor control.

This pad has 75% wider back and with that provides more coverage to help protect against leaks while laying down. Poise pads are instantly absorbing urine , keeping us safe and dry overnight. It provides 12 hours of protection and it’s available in many different sizes.

Not just the size is what we can pick, but also we can choose within thickness too. Every pad is individually wrapped for the convince of taking with us everywhere. As we women are aging, our body slows down and some of us started to have problems with incontinence.

I had problems, but I want to feel safe every time and wake up clean and dry. Better to be safe than sorry! Exactly! This pad gives me comfort and freshness, not mentioning feeling safe and confident.

Once you get past the fact that the headline calls these pads, not liners, you will be pleasantly surprised. For people who don’t try store brands versus national ones, I’ve been that way for most of my life.

But this product is proof and a very good example of the fact that store brands are “winners” more often than we think. I know most women would agree it’s better to be safe than sorry when purchasing products of this kind.

This one is about as safe as you can get. So many brands include “long” in their description but clearly have no idea what that is. Not so, Options. I’m 75 years old so I’ve had, used, done just about everything.

But I’m still glad to learn something new, especially if it’s a positive experience. Reviews are a great way to get an idea of whether or not a product might work for you. So I think it’s more likely than not, this product will work for you.

It will give you one less thing to worry about so you can be prepared for all the good things in your life.

I received pads in new packaging that are supposedly new and improved…. absolutely WORSE. The pads bunch up in the center causing a mound effect so when urine escapes the pad cannot absorb as it flows down the sides of the bunched up center mound.

It also days odor control…OMG! I NEVER had any odor from the ones I always received but these smell like urine right away. These are HORRIBLE! The other ones worked so well…. why break what wasn’t broken? I use quadruple the amount of these in one day due to bunching effect and just runs off the sides.

What’s the point of an incontinent pad if it doesn’t absorb the urine?!? I am changing clothes multiple times a day and washing more than ever. I had ZERO of these issues before. Guess it’s time to find a new, better option.

I have bought these exact Always Discreet Heavy Long 5 drops pads regularly for well over a year and have loved them. until this last purchase. Regardless of company comments, something has changed. The very slight scent which has always been a part of this product has recently multiplied a thousand times and is now evident, even to someone riding in a car with me, with the windows down!!!! This is totally unacceptable.

I see company comments about the fragrance fading once the package is open. I went so far as to open one of the pads fully and attaching it to the front of a fan on high speed for 24 hours to see if that would get rid of the odor, but that didn’t reduce the strong “fragrance” in the slightest.

I see these “fragrance” comments are all very recent. This should be a clue to the company that something changed or went wrong with a large batch. I can’t even continue trying to use this BRAND NEW package.

The “fragrance” gives me a headache and I will not wear something that other people can also detect!!!! I still have my receipt and almost a full box of this terrible product and request a full refund of my purchase price.

I now have to try to find an alternative that I liked as much as this product was previously.

Picked up the Always Discreet Heavy Pads for my mom, aunt and myself. We all have various needs. My mom LOVES them. Said she loved the packaging how the wrapper was the part you peal off to get to the stickum.

Loved the size. Loved that they didn’t have wings (she hates wings). Said they were absorbant for her occasional need. My aunt needs daily protection and said they did a great job as far as not leaking and holding a fair amount.

I only occasionally need a little extra support and found all the things my mom said were true. I did notice that they are very lightly scented which is no big deal for my mom and aunt but I’ve had breakouts due to scented products in the past.

I’ve gotten by using these upon occasion but I’ve not used them daily. Overall good protection from the “I need a little extra something incase I sneeze at an event where I can’t get to the bathroom often” to “light incontinence throughout the day”.

Overall the quality was great and wearing this throughout the day(got lucky and didn’t sneeze) found the pad didn’t pull part and held up well.

When it comes to my time of the month- you’ll always find Always brand pads in my bathroom and purses. Yes purses cause I try to keep a pad in almost all my purses in case of an emergency. I tried the Always Discreet heavy flow long pads and gotta say I needed these years ago! They have the right length to cover my underwear to avoid those heavy flow accidents especially while sitting at work or commuting.

They’re not big and bulky like a baby’s diaper like the older pads. These come nice, pretty individually wrapped in cloth like wrapper. The design is pretty, doesn’t give off the usual “she’s on her period vibes”.

The material to me is always good, doesn’t feel rough, doesn’t irritate my intimate area and easy to change. These do not have their “wings” like they’re known to have so keep that in mind. Since they’re for heavy flows it has these side gatherings maybe in lieu of their wings? But so far they have been good with no issues.

I use Always for their absorbency and how good it’s been for my body compared to other brands.

Tena Caring for Your Intimate Skin Day Night. If you have a account with @tenausa , you can claim samples and coupons and they have a reward program too. I got 4 pads to try, all from their Intimates line.

Very light, moderate regular, moderate extra and very light long liners. Fast absorbing and 100% breathable. Quilted top layer, foam elastic edges and gynecologists tested. They are really good and comfortable.

I am very big fan of Tena. I have used this for 2 years. But this Serenity Ultimate pads way to big and bulky. I did not want to return this item it’s to discreet and personal So what I’did is gave it to someone that needs the most.

I overlook the size so I will be careful next time. Although, I ordered another Tena incontinence pads that is comfy for me….

After years of using TENA ultimate Incontinent pads. the plastic liner from 3 pads, different lits, tears loose, exposing the INTERIOR fabric. Rendering the pad usless! This has NEVER gapoened on any other brand incontinent pad.

Once exposed, the pad is useless. This should never hapoen!.

Only used 2 liners so far within a couple of hours, but so far I love it!! Was apprehensive about these after reading all the negative reviews, but decided to just try it and see for myself. Was also a little desperate to replace the l.

liners I had been using for the last few years as now whatever material they’re using is causing my skin to be horribly itchy and painful. These honey pot liners have been a godsend to cool down my nether regions!! Especially with the unbearable itchiness I’ve been mysteriously having (don’t think it’s yeast as I don’t have all the symptoms).

Was afraid of the burn others were talking about, so far it’s not burning for me but feels so cooling. Would be great when I have to go out in Houston humid heat and sweaty everywhere. The rose smell is very soothing/refreshing too, I usually need help not just after my periods to stay fresh but all the other days of the month too ha.

I can see that this may not be for everyone, I might just be used to it bc I often use menthol/peppermint oil for other uses. Just wish it wasn’t so pricey for so little, but the pad is exactly the size and thickness I think the l liners used to be before it changed – love it! Its adhesive is way better than l liners now, doesn’t get twisted on me or give me a wedgie, stays put.

Keeps me dry, cool and fresh. Sticking with these for now!.

I was initially worried because of all the reviews complaining about burning and the adhesive not sticking. I thought for sure there would be something I might not like about these and really my only complaint is it’s a bit wide for my panties but not enough to be a problem or a reason for me not to buy again.

Better than the tiny liners that catch nothing. Also the adhesive has stuck well to my synthetic period panties (they’re one of the only black underwears I own lol). As for the mint/burning I don’t feel any discomfort or pain at all and I actually really enjoy the sort of “cooling” effect.

Typically I have sensitive skin too and can’t tolerate really anything irritating. I ended up going through with buying despite my initial worries because the creator of THP writes on her packaging her struggles with BV and my periods ALWAYS throw my pH out of balance.

Even on non period days I feel like a discomfort, so I wanted to try the risk since the benefits would be great. And I thought if these ended up being painful I’d just not use them again and return them but oh boy when I say this is THE MOST comfortable I have been, with using the Flex discs, I am in heaven.

I even raved to my partner about it and I’m sure he’s had enough period talk but I can’t help it these are awesome!!!! I’m not shifting or adjusting my shorts/pants and I literally feel my mood has changed just from these alone helping with the pH part of things.

What a struggle that has been but not anymore. I also love that they’re chemical free and organic cotton!!!.

Used to love these liners and would go out of the way to buy them since they’re a tad more on the expensive side. Ever since I got them I was very loyal to this brand: I love their cooling effect but the last box I received was completely different than what I usually get.

The shape is really odd now: #1. It’s way shorter where it doesn’t cover all the areas needed (Look at past reviews for old liner back new liner). #2. Really wide where it doesn’t fit/conform to the width of any of my underwears (it’s really wide) and shows on the sides past the underwear.

It’s probably the widest I’ve ever seen a liner for any brand that makes liners. #3. The adhesive is very poor. It doesn’t stick on any underwear fabric and comes off really easily or sticks up your butt because it doesn’t adhere to your underwear.

If it does it’s very very light. This will be the last pack I buy unless they don’t change the shape back to what it was. The shape and the quilting on it definitely was not improved and seems much cheaper in terms of the quality it had before.

Always Discreet Boutique Heavy Long Pads are much thinner than my regular bladder leak pads. They are more narrow, too, as you can see in my attached photos. They are very similar, unsurprisingly, to Always Discreet Heavy Pads, but they are clearly much longer.

Their smaller profile makes them comfortable to wear, even though I don’t like long pads. I really don’t even feel them, though I usually only wear them at night. The adhesive is strong, but not so strong that it makes removing the pads difficult.

And most importantly, they are super absorbent! While I fortunately have not had any leaks to really put them to the test yet, I did pour a cup and a half of water over one and watched it absorb it all.

It might have held even more, but I stopped there, since I think that’s probably about as much absorbency as I would usually need. These pads are also lightly scented, which is really nice and gives me an extra measure of confidence.

Their design is very attractive and the top layer is super soft, making them almost a pleasure to use. I will definitely be repurchasing them. Happily recommended!.

Always Discreet Boutique is a perfect blend of menstrual and bladder protection with leak guards and ordor lock. I love how I can’t tell that I’m wearing a pad unlike incontinence pads. I’m still having monthly cycles so these are a blessing.

The are super soft and very comfortable no bunching. Really neat that liquids turn to gel. Not so embarrassing opening up a pad in a public bathroom anymore the material is less noisy. The size is perfect and the adhesive keeps them in spot.

I like the leak guards I wish they were more absorbent when I coughed I leaked through the top left. The front of pad could be wider. The floral perfume scent is over powering I wish it was softer. I can’t imagine carrying more than 1at a time in my purse because my bathroom stinks.

Possibly other color than black some may be allergic to dye. They are a bit pricey for the quantity. Overall I’m satified, I do recommend. Would not let upload photos to show you thickness and quality.

My elderly mom sometimes struggles with urinary incontinence, and as her caregiver I’m always looking for ways to make her life easier. Incontinence pads can be uncomfortable and irritating, so I was happy to discover Always Discreet Boutique Incontinence Pads for Moderate protection.

With their floral design and soft color scheme, the pads are so attractive, they remind me of lingerie. They’re made of soft, comfortable fabric. They’re not at all bulky, but their thin shape belies some serious absorbency; no need for Mom to worry about embarrassing leaks.

The only thing that Mom and I don’t like about these pads is the fragrance, which is strong and noticeable. I wish Always would offer fragrance-free pads! The scent is a big flaw in an otherwise perfect product.

I purchased the pads to take with me on a cruise so I could be certain of no accidents. I used 3 pads one each day and had to stop because my skin turned red and was itchy and skin was starting to peel off.

I had a very bad reaction to the pads. I don’t think they were really made for those of us that can be allergic to pads. I had previously used Poise and it took the me and my dermatologist several months to clear things up.

Having had that problem I knew I was having an allergic reaction to your pads and stopped using them immediately (only 3 pads). I am sorry I can’t give a glowing review but I had a terrible experience and am still working on clearing up this problem.

I don’t think your pads are hypoallergenic.

Mixed review. comfort was great. Pad soft and fluffy. Coverage area of pad great. However, the pad does not wick away wetness so there can be some leakage. they are now an alternate to my regular pads due to comfort.

I need to wear a pad every day (and evening) due to incontinence and have been buying Poise for a couple of years but they have an off-putting chemical odor even when dry. This bothered me a lot and I worried that the gel used was the cause and, if so, perhaps that chemical was getting absorbed into my body.

So I tried these 100% cotton, hypoallergenic pads and they work great. They provide really good coverage, absorb adequately, adhere well to underwear, are not bulky, have no odor and are more comfortable than Poise pads, too.

I plan to continue to purchase these.

I’ve tried many different brands and levels among those brands over the past few years and I have to say that I have narrowed my selections down to only two that fit my needs and Member’s Mark Overnight is one of them.

Not only is this an excellent value, I like the size and the adhesive is perfect, a firm hold but not so much that it leaves excessive residue in the underwear when removed and washes out easily. One more important thing, another reviewer, “greys4me” shared a great tip that bears repeating.

When I first tried these I had issues with the pad shifting do reread reviews and greys4me had similar issues and suggests to turn the widest end of the pad to the front and that will help with that issue.

I tried it and yes it did make a big difference and kept me from writing of a whole carton of a great product. Now some might find them bulky but it worked for me. A little about me, I do fall within the plus-size range and due to some health issues, I had to find something a bit more absorbing with better coverage.

I use these during day as well as nighttime and I alternate with another brand/size Tena Serenity thin pads level 3 because of their length and absorption. It’s the perfect combination for me. I really hope this review helps folks because this has been a game changer for me.

The pad falls apart and the absorbent beads end up all over the place. This pad type looks like the older version. They had one after this that was way better. That version unwrapped in one piece. The outer wrapper was attached to the paper that covered the adhesive part.

Don’t know why they went back to the older style. There was nothing wrong with the newer one.

I had to believe I was the only woman who, when I had a wee leak, that it went to the FRONT. My pads would soak front half only and over the front sides. This is WIDER in the back, dumb for me, but turn em around and voila! The perfect (nearly) pad.

NOW I see that MANY WOMEN have the same issue and idea as me. Tell me why then, are these same issues not addressed? Wider in the FRONT!!.

I care for my 94 year old mother-in-law who has been living WITH us for 13 years now!!! The last 7 or 8 years she has been 100% incontinent. I purchased expensive and cheaper brands over these years.

But, once I found the Equate overnight pads about 5 years ago, I knew these were the very best out there. I put them on her 24/7. taking no chances of leakage. These work BEST with Assurance unisex overnight underpants (pull-up diapers) that have a double elastic within that holds the pad securely, and finish with vinyl pants I get thru Walmart, too.

Hardly ever a mishap. I highly, 100% recommend this set up. overnight diapers, overnight pads and vinyl pants.

The box says “Compare to Tena” – but these are better than Tena. I’ve used the Tena Overnight pad for several months and it’s OK but the plastic backing is very thin and tears easily, allowing the liquid contents to wet everything anyway.

I tried these because I’ve used Equate pads for years (both period pads and incontinence pads) and found them to be consistently of high quality and low price. These are just a hair smaller than the Tena, which just means a tad less bulk, but they do the same job.

The plastic backing is a tad thicker so they rarely tear. I’ve also begun using them throughout the day for peace of mind. As another reviewer pointed out, due to their shape they can be worn either way to suit your personal situation.

I have used the Assurance underwear and also different types of pads but for me, these are the best. Absorbent but not bulky. It’s so much easier to remove and replace the pad than the underwear. I just wish these pads were longer to the back because as I am sitting down or lying in bed, the pee runs to the back and my clothes get wet.

What I have done is cut one of the pads in half and stick it to the back for more (longer protection), but the problem is that it is unconfortable. I say, Walmart should make a longer version of these.

These pads are 12 inches long so if WM makes a longer version, make them be about 16 inches longer.

Tena products overnight 7 absorbancy has been my stae for several years. NOW. when I order them on line from Walmart or Amazon I never know what the pad will look like, feel like, or what absorbancy it will be.

i need the origonal pads. some of them now are softy like kleenex. solid white. HORRIBLE. Some have a purple stitch around the pad and whote soft pad. then once in a great while i will receive the overnight pads that work so well for me.

they are thick, top layer is stitched in purple and has purple stitching on the top of the pad. when and how will I know to buy if your product when is so inconsistent. ??? HELP!!!.

Do not believe the description. it is incorrect !! These pads are WAY TOO SHORT for overnight use or for someone with a Heavy urine flow. The length of the pad is stated to be 16 inches. IT IS NOT. It is 13 inches.

That’s a regular pad. The length as stated in the description on MOST of the TENA pads is misrepresented. The front of these pads is TOO NARROW. The SIDE BARRIERS are shallow and offer NO leakage protection.

These pads ALWAYS ALWAYS leak in the front so you will have lots of laundry to do. The front should be more like the back of this pad. larger and wider. On the TENA website and here you will see that many are complaining that the quality and the length of these pads has greatly degraded in the last 2 years.

They really have. And they are flimsy which they were not years ago, There are so many listings for this product on the Walmart site, so the reviews stating the product has degraded can be found in many different listings.

I read a lot of reviews before I bought these and was very hopeful that it would give me good protection. I decided to test them before I was out in public and perhaps have an accident. I don’t have little leaks, I can’t hold it when I really have to go and once I start to go – that’s it, my bladder will empty completely.

I put one on at home and unfortunately it didn’t hold enough liquid for me. They are also very large, which would have been fine if it worked for me. My recommendation to anyone would be to buy a smaller package and try them for yourself at home and see if they work for you.
