Let me start by saying I've tried my fair share of wound dressings, and the EVERLIT Super Absorbent Dressing genuinely surprised me. The six-layer construction with EquiFlow technology isn't just marketing fluff - it actually works differently than standard gauze pads.

The absorption is impressive. I tested it on a moderately exuding wound (about 2 tablespoons of fluid), and it locked everything in without any leakage for a full 24 hours. The dual retention layers really do their job - no messy surprises when changing positions in bed.

What I love most is how thin these stay even when saturated. Many absorbent dressings puff up like marshmallows, but these maintain their flat profile. This made them perfect under clothing - no awkward bulges during my workday.

However, be cautious with heavily bleeding wounds. While the packaging claims it can handle heavy exudate, one user reported bleed-through with a leg ulcer. For moderate drainage though? Perfection.

The non-adhesive top layer is a dream compared to traditional gauze that sticks. Changing dressings was nearly painless - just one gentle lift and it came right off without disturbing the wound bed.

Pro tip: These work exceptionally well for swollen legs (like in CHF patients) where you need absorption without bulk. The veteran-owned aspect is just the cherry on top for socially conscious buyers.

At this price point, they outperform hospital-grade dressings I've used. Just maybe keep a backup for extremely heavy wounds.
