Adult Incontinence Pads for Women, Drier vs Poise, 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.

Dependable, stays put, scent is nice, but not overwhelming, I personally like the length and they've saved many pairs of underwear. Protection is good. Thank you

These are scented so if you are sensitive do not buy

I buy for myself and family members. Always products are our go-to brand throughout decades! These pads have a good absorption pad which is key to buying a good pad. The only reason for 1 less star for the number 5 pad is the leakage onto the underwear experienced by some. I now buy and highly recommend the number 6 and the number 7 Always Discreet pad as they are a bit wider and very nicely longer. No issue about dribbles onto their under garments. Adhere very well, too! (These have made it easier on me as a tired caregiver who does a LOT of clothes/bed sheets washing!)

I’ve been using 2 and 4 that I’ve purchased in the past. Both of those sizes have suffered from shrinkflation. . I have to say these are the same size and thickness as the 4. I expected them to be a step up. As for leak protection, I can’t say. They may be making them thinner and more effective. What I do like about the discreet products is that they trap moisture in the pad so you don’t feel wet. Fortunately I don’t need them for streams but if you do, I’d get their highest protection, which can be more costly. EDIT—After using them, I realized they are very effective, as I suspected. They are similar to the 4, however I found that the slight difference is more absorbent. Sorry discreet, I hope I’m in your good graces again. It’s always been my go to pad. I’d buy again.

Have used Always products for 50 years. The Always products have never disappointed. They have always held what I had to offer. If you have an accident while wearing your pad, don’t worry about getting in your car and driving home they WILL keep you dry. I have finished my shopping and stood in the checkout, you know how tight they can get. but no one had an idea what they were next to,NO SMELL. I would not have used them for 50 years if they were not inexpensive and easy to use. Thank you Always.

Sometimes when you get the dribbles Always will be there to help you get through. Great price for the amount you get. Always has been around for years. Always used Always.

I have been using pads for inconsistenc for several years. I buy Always Discreet Adult Incontinence pads regularly. I normally buy them from Sam's Club, #5 long. I decided to try them here from Amazon #5 long. I was very disappointed. I bought some more from Sam's Club and compared the pads to these from Amazon because I noticed when I first tried the ones from Amazon that they seemed more narrow and thinner than the ones from Sam's Club plus they did not hold near the amount of liquid. I was correct. When comparing them to each other. The ones from Amazon were indeed thinner and more narrow. I will not be buying these from Amazon ever again. Apparently Amazon has made some kind of deal for an inferior product at an unreasonable price. VERY DISAPOINTED!!!!!
