Depend Silhouette Underwear for Women Maximum Absorbency Economy Plus Pack, Large/X-Large, 52 Count

These are the only adult diapers that don’t leak. You can find cheaper ones, but they have a hidden cost of needing to change all the bedding when they leak. Silhouettes brand are almost a $1 each but they save in laundry, bed pads, and extra time spent cleaning up leakage off your loved one’s body and bed. Not to mention it saves the person’s skin from too many extra baths in a day. And it saves their body from moving a person around so much to bathe them multiple times or change their clothes and bed several times a day. That really tires out an elderly/sick person’s body. Plus there’s the extra risk of slipping and falling.Silhouettes are also softer on elderly skin which saves the person from getting sores or infections from stiff/scratchy diapers.In my opinion the biggest benefit of Silhouettes is restored DIGNITY. They give your loved one more dignity because they look like underwear instead of bulky diapers. And because they don’t leak, they make my mother feel more dignified and less depressed.If you’re caring for an elderly or ill person, you know the shame and depression they can feel when they think they are responsible for causing a big smelly mess in their bed/chair. No leaks means less work for caregivers AND restored dignity for someone who could feel like a burden or feel ashamed when an accident makes a big mess. Sometimes loved ones can feel drained in their spirits when they can’t control their bodily functions. Sometimes with leaky diapers an old person or sick person might try to hold it in to avoid making a mess. This can cause them pain and also low self esteem. The end of a person’s life shouldn’t be spent worrying about these avoidable problems. If other brands made better diapers, nobody’s loved one would feel shame, humiliation, or depression from leaks.Depends Silhouettes are the only brand we found that fits well on a person between sizes L/XL. A good fit prevents leaks and gives my mother reassurance, peace of mind, and dignity. To me it’s worth a lot to spend more time talking together and much MUCH less time cleaning up messes.

Bought these for my mom & they fit well. she is 85, abt. 200 lbs & wears a size 1x pants. i ordered the L/XL..they fit well & good absorbency & no leaks overnight (altho she has a pad on the bed just in case...nothing is full proof..so far so good! she has used many brands & she said this style is the best yet! We have bought these 3 times so far and altho more money they are consistently comfortable for her & not bulky..will continue to buy these altho if they don’t have them available will buy the Always Discreet Underwear In XL..they are very comfortable as well but are slightly bulky altho works well for overnight use.

you can get these way cheaper than on amazon.... they feel more like underwear than any other product... they are not loose so no one can see that you are wearing an adult diaper... the oder control is super... now i know that it says maximum absorbency but this what you have to remember it will take a lot of fluid but you cant just let it rush out at one time... to see what i mean take it on a practice run before you go out in public with them.... but the feel good... they give you a little tummy control... they are a smooth fit with no buckles or bulges and if for some reason some one saw them on you they wouldnt necessarily know they were a diaper....of the brands available it definitely isnt the cheapest but for a formal affair i wouldnt wear anything else.... for hanging in the garden and shopping i am going to go with an overnight store brand... where the little things dont matter so much... i sent a case to my grandmother and she loved them... i have a back problem that cause this issue for me and i love them as well... i have no information regarding how it handles fecal incontinence

I've used several other brands of adult diapers, but no other brand is as comfortable as these. They have a nice smooth fit so you'd almost forget they are not regular panties. They seem to hold the moisture in the pad and doesn't leak unless you have really, really soaked the pad. I'd say they are very discreet and unnoticeable under your pants or suit skirts. No one will know your secret. Don't hesitate to try them out. You'll be surprised at how comfortable they are.

Edit: I've been using Depends Silhouettes (on the Subscribe & Save program) for two years, and have just received my first package of the new, improved version in pink. I was suspicious of the "new improved" boast since that usually means the manufacturer either cut corners or changed their target market. Well, I am happy to report this IS an improvement. The older, beige ones were a snug fit, very much like pulling on a girdle with the extra ten pounds I put on since my original review; these are softer fabric and easier stretch, so they're much easier to put on. They are actually MORE absorbent - this morning I woke up soaked, and weighed the pad - it was more than 10 ounces over the weight of a dry brief, and did NOT LEAK at all on the way to the bathroom! The beige ones leaked at 8 oz. It is possible to puncture these even with rounded, smooth fingernails, but I have done it maybe 3 times in over 2 years, and not yet with these new ones, so I don't consider that a problem.Some reviewers complain of defective products. I get the subscription with 52 in a package, in two plastic bags, "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com," and at a package per month for the last 25 months, I have never had a defective shipment or even a single defective brief.With regard to "discreet delivery" which some reviewers have mentioned, these come in a cardboard carton with the name Depends clearly printed on the side, but no pictures or other blatant identification. They used to come inside a larger, anonymous Amazon box, but I guess it's better for the enviroment to save the extra packaging. One complaint about the carton: it's glued, not taped. I don't have arthritic hands, but I'm weak, and it takes me a few minutes of fierce struggling to get it open...and then longer on the bottom (so I can collapse and recycle it), since I don't have the weight of the product holding the box down. Kimberly-Clark, for us older or ailing ladies, please switch to tape! And consider extending the size range... I know bigger ladies than I who would appreciate these.-----------------------Original post:I have been using Always Discreet for years, after trying other brands (including the original Depends). As far as I can tell, these absorb as much; but they absorb much faster, and the snug design (including snug leg openings) makes them much more leak-proof for me. And using the Subscribe & Save program, they cost about the same.The fabric is peculiar - not at all like the soft but papery feel of other brands. It's soft, with an odd sheen to it, as if there are shimmering fibers woven in. The L/XL is large enough for me to pull on easily (I'm 5'1"; and 210 lb), but it's snug and feels like a very gentle girdle (if that's not a contradiction in terms!) I love the fit and feel of it.
