Okay, let me start by saying I've been using Tena pads for YEARS. Like, we're talking a decade-long relationship here. But when I saw these Amazon Basics pads at nearly half the price... I had to try.

First impression? They're slightly narrower than Tena, but somehow more comfortable? Like that perfect pair of yoga pants that just fits right. The adhesive is STRONG - no more awkward mid-day adjustments!

The absorption is wild. I spilled half my water bottle testing these (don't judge me) and they handled it like a champ. No leaks, no weird squishy feeling. The odor control is next-level too - I actually forgot I was wearing one during a 6-hour road trip!

Only downside? The new design seems less absorbent than before according to some reviews. I haven't gotten that batch yet, so fingers crossed Amazon keeps the original formula!

Final verdict? For the price and performance, I'm officially converted. Sorry Tena, it's not you... it's definitely you.
