Northshore

4.6

(9)

"Northshore megamax or a Trest Elite. Usually I don't have to change on my 8-9 hour shifts."

"Highly absorbent and recommended for high frequency of usage."

"Check out the Northshore Airsupreme tab style briefs."

"Northshore megamax."

"Try Drylife, BetterDry, Elite Hybrid or Northshore Megamax."

"NorthShore MegaMax holds a lot and keeps in odors too."

"The Megamax and Trests are more expensive, but they are good quality."

"We found the heavy flow pads *inside* an adult diaper worked well for just dribbles."

"Look at the MegaMax diaper from NorthShore"

Tena

4.4

(9)

"I just started my 92 year old mom on these great pads: TENA incontinence pad (large in the back, best for sleeping)"

"In the UK we've found Tena pants to be the best."

"I use Tena Super absorbent adult diaper briefs with the Velcro tape."

"Second that for Tena"

"I would check medical supply places like Regency, and look at other brands like Tena."

"Tena 3xl night pads, not the Intimates line: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tena-ProSkin-Overnight-Incontinence-Pads-3XL-24-Count/834410892"

"Tena is a great brand. Also make sure the brief is the right size for him."

Frida

4.8

(8)

"The only thing I mainly used was the peri bottle from Frida which was much better than the hospita"

"While taking care of a baby, having control over a pad is hard. Disposable underwear saved me."

"The frida undies work well and are different than the other mesh undies."

"Are they 1000x better than leaking maxi pads that you have to layer and they still move around? Absolutely."

"Their peri bottle was an absolute MUST as well."

"The Frida disposable underwear were fantastic for recovery after my c-section. They didn't slide around and were easy to dispose of after leaks."

Tranquility

4.1

(7)

"Tranquility ATNs are the best diapers for the price and provide excellent protection."

"At night time, I added these liners to help. Very rarely had an overnight leak."

"Either get a brand specifically for nighttime use (I like Tranquility ATN for my son's use) or buy diaper boosters (my fav brand is North Shore Boosters)."

"The lady at Wellwise helped me pick out the Tranquility brand as there isn't a ton of bariatric options, but they were very similar to what was used in the hospital."

"Tranquility might be good for OP since they fit smaller than others."

"Brand like tranquility, abena, prevail, and cardinal health have sizes and absorbencies that exceed the stuf"

"Tranquility brand. But like other PP said pads that go underneath are a must."

Depend

3.7

(7)

"At this point I instructed her to use Adult diapers like Depends etc. She was hesitant, but I insisted. She now loves them."

"I used fit flex as they move with you and are more like underwear."

"Depends Flex Fit for out of the house because they are slimmer. The Depends can't hold a HUGE amount, but can save you as you rush to the bathroom."

"I like Depends vs. Always Discreet. Depends don’t fit me as tightly (despite my getting the same size in both brands)."

"After I bled on my cream colored sofa for the second time in a week, I started wearing depends. It was so much easier."

"If you would like to size up, a depends product may work if you’re having small volume accidents."

"Get the Depends"

Kirkland

"The Kirkland brand is on sale for $20 as of the last check here, which seemed like a great discount."

"They definitely sold them at the downtown Costco."

"I used Kirkland brand"

"I used Kirkland for at home because they are cheaper and Depends Flex Fit for out of the house because they are slimmer."

"I recommend Aussie brand ModiBodi, they even have a pair that is 24hr period coverage with FULL gusset protection! No leaks anywhere! They are life changing."

"I've personally tried modibodi, specifically their heavy overnight one. So far it's been great, it holds the washes well."

"Ive had modibodi twice now, first time for for periods second time for postpartum bladder incontinence. They work really well, how ever all the lace at the top is shredded."
