Always Discreet Adult Incontinence Pads for Women, Drier, 5 Drop Long Length, Heavy Absorbency, Pads for Bladder Control Management, Bladder Leaks, & Postpartum Pads, 39ct

Two updates below-please skip to the bottom for the gist of what I’m saying.😊 Great value for someone who is looking for the thinnest, heaviest protection you can get without an extra long length. These may not be the most discreet (I’ve liked Poise discreet before since they’re thinner and more comfortable, and can be disguised more easily under clothing,) but that’s not to say these won’t work better! The pad was a bit too wide to fit comfortably between my legs, and not so comfy at first, and the pad was bit longer than expected (probably 7- 8 inches long). It will only work with panties like bikinis, hip huggers, boy shorts, or something with moderate back coverage. It will not work with thongs at all, which is a bummer. I hope they design a heavy absorbency thong liner! If only! Haha. The pad seems more stiff than pads for women during their cycle, but probably because it can absorb more. I received fast shipping, the product is in excellent condition, and my only concerns are if it can be seen through legging and jeans (it feels like it might be noticeable since it goes up a bit high on the backside...) but I understand the necessity of it... and the comfort issue with the width of the pad being too wide. I’m trying to bend the pad down on the sides to fix it though, haha! It creates ripples in the pad if that makes sense, since it’s bunched up a bit. Hopefully it’s not an issue, and I’ll update review if it persists. Sorry if that’s too much information but this IS a review of women’s pads. Haha. Have a wonderful day. Thank you! Update: Pad becomes less stiff as you move around, and these have really nice leak protection. Very please I purchased these! Update #2: So using one package I’ve determined these are pretty amazing. I never used a pad of any kind with better absorbency or leak protection. The downfall to that is the pad is thick, like wearing a folded up washcloth in your underwear 😂 haha! It seems the price has been jacked up much higher than when I purchased, I suppose due to demand. I can’t recall exactly how much I paid for a pack of three but I think it was less than $20.... 😅Anyways, they’re still a bit too stiff for my preference and a small amount too wide, but they absorb a ridiculous amount. They work so well. 😃 If you’re unfortunate enough to accidentally tear one open while wet, it’s similar to the inside of a child’s diaper, where there’s some sort of soft substance that is used to help pull liquid away from the body. It’s not cotton...perhaps could be silica gel..but other than that my guess is as good as yours. The manufacturer description on the packages should explain it in more depth, but I think some gel like substance is responsible for the great water (or other) retention. I would just say keep this in mind if you have pets that tend to tear into the garbage because I’m not sure if anything could be potentially dangerous to them if they ingest it. 🐕 🦝 Update 3: Although this continues to be the best brand in my opinion, the prices are inflating way too high to justify purchasing these anymore. It is sad. I understand the price raise is happening with many companies, including off brands, due to the pandemic, labor shortage, and supply issues. I’ve switched to using Certainty/Options/Equate by Walmart when it’s on sale or the Walgreens branded ones. Sadly those are not as flattering on the booty or as discreet, nor made ass well as the Always ones are. I know some people may need multiple per day and night for medical purposes, so just be cautious of the price per pad. I think if it’s 40-50 cents per pad for a moderately heavy absorbency pad, it just costs too much to be practical for long term care. I try to find ones under 30 cents a piece when possible, but lately the Always Discreet underwear has been a better deal than some of the pads in terms of absorbency. Still ranges from 75 cents to a dollar each though… So in summary, don’t pay ridiculous prices just for this brand because it’s the most discreet and absorbs the most. It IS a great product line, they are less wide than competitors’ pads so for women it is much more comfortable than the off brands, but much more expensive than some alternatives, so if money is tight and you have to choose between quality or quantity choose quantity right now until prices aren’t so high. I hope this helps and you have a wonderful day. ♥️ TL/DR: (Too long, didn’t read) they are now more than double in price (almost triple) than they were when I first wrote this review, so some people may want to compare the prices at the time of purchase with some cheaper options. It is a great product. Just too, too pricey right now. Sending love to anyone who is struggling with medical or mental health conditions seen or unseen right now. I use these due to some medical issues caused by a prescription medication I took, I won’t go into detail, but it can happen to anyone, so why not be kind? Pro tip, wear sexy undies with these to feel less like a grandma. Haha.

Love this product. Never leaks, very comfortable.

It does the job

Good size, good fit, easy to purchase anywhere, helpful with light to medium bladder leaks, or postpartum care. I specifically purchased these post-surgery. After a couple of days I ordered more of these pads for the several weeks of recovery. Before I even received the additional order, my very sensitive skin was inflamed. The product label says, "lightly scented". I can never use these again because these have repeatedly caused inflammation. The plastic packaging and the amazon boxed reeked with the scent that I hadn't noticed before. Besides the fact, scented pads don't lock in odor.

these are good and will keep you dry. they are the heavy long ones. you will feel dry all day long.

Comfortable, absorb fluid quickly. Have had no leakage issues. Recommend these!

They work. They don’t irritate the skin. The scent isn’t noticeable under clothes. There are visible through tight leggings. They’re leak-proof within reason. Very easy to use.

I bought these to compare with Poise. Poise is a lot thicker so therefore it holds more. But because it's thicker it is hotter. I wear the Poise to bed at night and I will use the Always during the day. Because they are cooler. But I think when I run out of the Always I'll go back to Poise.

The package was delivered without any outer packaging. It's torn and contents oozing out. It's an expensive and a sensitive intimate item delivered in the pathetic condition. Highly disappointed.

Muy delgadas

Awful Utter rubbish not long extremely small & would not hold any urine at all Total waste of my money Very dissatisfied

Works better than any other - won’t ever go back. Always for the win. Different sizes equals different levels of absorption and they are all good even the heavier leakers.

Excelente e pena que foi descontinuado no Brasil! De todos que minha mãe usa, esse é o único que possui a mesma características das fraldas infantis, que transformam o líquido em gel, impedindo vazamento, mesmo que ultrapasse o tempo de troca.
