Let me start by saying, these Poise pads are a lifesaver! Whether you're dealing with postpartum leaks or everyday incontinence, they deliver on their promises. The 6-drop ultimate absorbency is no joke – I’ve put them to the test during long workdays and even workouts, and they held up impressively.

The FreshSense odor control is a standout feature. Unlike other pads that leave you self-conscious about smells, these neutralize odors for up to 12 hours. I’ve worn them during summer outings (yes, in heat!) and stayed fresh – a huge confidence booster.

The ContourFit design deserves applause. The wider front/back coverage prevents embarrassing side leaks when sitting or moving. As a wheelchair user mentioned in reviews, this design is crucial for staying dry during prolonged sitting.

Now, about sizing: They run long (14-15 inches). Perfect for nighttime protection or postpartum needs (as one new mom raved), but daytime users might find them excessive. Pro tip: For men using belly bands (like one reviewer’s puppy hack!), the length actually helps with full coverage.

The CaptureCore technology wicks moisture FAST. I spilled water testing absorption – it vanished in seconds without surface dampness. This explains why multiple reviewers (including caregivers for elderly parents) call these superior to period pads for bladder leaks.

Two minor drawbacks: 1) Packaging inconsistencies (some received fewer pads than expected) 2) The adhesive could be stronger for active wearers. But at this price point (and HSA/FSA eligibility), they’re still unbeatable.

Final verdict? Whether you’re postpartum, managing light incontinence, or need transitional protection (like the reviewer whose spouse uses them at night), these deliver dryness without bulk. Worth every penny for the dignity and security they provide!
