Why can’t all “long”‘products have a set measurement?!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Poise has become one of my favorite brands for incontinence pads. However, I did not care for the Poise Ultra Thin 5 Drop Maximum Long Length pads. I do not appreciate how the lower the Drop number is, the shorter the pad is. These are labeled as “long”, but they are not quite the length I prefer. Instead of having to hope and guess that the long length pads are actually long enough, I wish that there was a set measurement. These are longer than regular pads, but not long enough for a plus size woman like me, in my opinion. If I place them too far forward on my underwear, then I don’t feel like there is enough back coverage and it sometimes folds into my butt. If I placed them too far back in my underwear, then I don’t feel like there is enough coverage in the front and it sticks to my “pooch” area sometimes. They do absorb leaks quickly and I have mostly feel dry, though sometimes a little damp. They hold in any odor, too. I especially love that they indeed are “ultra thin”. I will continue to use Poise products, but I will have to stick with 6 Drop and higher.
