I have been using Poise for years, 6 long length. The new pads are not as good as the previous ones. They leak, do not hold as much moisture & are thinner than before. I bought the largest pack available, used only 3 & switched to a different brand and gave the Poise to a friend. If you change back to the old style, I will be back. But, until then I'm sorry I won't be buying Poise.

While your products are the best that I have found so far, they do lack in protection. If you have never had to use these pads, you wouldn't understand that there are times when your leakage doesn't stay just in the pad area. I don't know any other way to explain this, but there are times when I leak that the urine goes past each end of the pads.....never leaving so much as a drop on the pad. I am sure it is the position Urethral Sphincter, but I know of no way to control that. It is very embarrassing to have the wetness show on the front of your pants like a male leakage....or on the back of your pants high enough that it could be mistaken as a bowel leakage. I have found myself using more that one pad to be able to cover the entire area in order to avoid this from happening.....which gets pretty expensive when you are doubling pads all the time. Another point is, we don't always care that the pads are "thinner for comfort". We would much rather have them fit better to cover the areas that are missed without have to wear multiple pads and keep the leakage from leaking. I am also too large to wear the panties that you sell. If I use those, I have to rip the sides out and wear them with no way to keep them in place. And they are too short even if I can get them on...which makes it feel like they are falling off....and that is not a good feeling either. Thanks for concerns....I would really like to see if you could improve on these issues and I hope that this helps your development engineers in the future of new products.

Poise pads are the best! I have tried many brands and the original Poise suit me best!  No scent, no skin irritation, very good absorbency (at all levels) and secure adhesive without ruining underwear like some adhesive.  I will never buy any other brand.  PS the ultra thin Poise is my second choice; back area too narrow to be comfortable and adhesive often remains on underwear plus pad cover fabric not quite as dry feeling.  But still a good choice.  Please never stop making nor change the original Poise pads!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my honest opinion, I did not like these pads at all. As far as absorbancy goes it works well. The functionality and the way it feels is what gets me. They are HUGE and not only that they're bulky. It feels like a long road shaped diaper. Super uncomfortable. Slides around and is just way TOO big. For anyone. If you're planning a 5 day long road trip, with no stops between.. these could work. But otherwise they're just too chunky for lack of a better word. The stars I gave are for absorbancy. I wanted to like them. But I did use the entire bag. Primarily for sleep. So I guess they could work well for that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Poise pads are really good. They are just big enough to catch any little accidents I might have, you probably know what I mean if are older like me, very comfortable, and fit just right. Great product for making me feel secure in insecure situations!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a sample. The pads actually, contour to my body better. While they aren't as absorbent, they fit better! Therefore it's easier for me to sleep move and clean up. I use two at a time. One as you would and the other I afix to the back of my panty lengthwise (Think of a T shape) This also allows me to sleep on my side without too many leaks. I bought this size to save some money during a harder month (there was a coupon) but it will replace the night full absorbency product for me because it works better. I guess that is why they are often called "personal care products. They were very comfortable, didn’t feel big and thick like a normal period pad, they absorbed instantly and still felt dry. I will 100% recommend these to anyone needing the protection.

I have used this product for years and gone through all the changes.....do not like the hourglass very much but liked the regular maximum but there has been a change as of January 2013. The previous one was more lavender in color and had twice the dots on the surface along with better absorption and adhesive. The last two packs with the more blue color and less dots has crummy adhesive and have found several in each package that are cut clear through on the sticky side which renders them useless. Why have you changed them. Please go back to the lavender ones.....Thank You because necessity requires that we use this product and it is expensive and needs to meet our needs. Mary

I have been using Poise for several years now. I hate the new packaging. Really, HOT PINK? You know, people do not want to advertise they use your product. A blind man looking the other way can see the pad in my purse. Please go back to the pale lavender or some other pale color. HOT PINK has got to be the worst color choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes I been using the poise pads, I really love them, but I needed to get a shorter length, they did really good, I used a few pads,but these are the best I have used, I will be using these from now on, thank you very much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wore this one day out and it was fine. But at home I drink a lot of water while home. My only bathroom is on second floor. Bad knees and distance, sometimes I don't quite make it so I need an ultimate pad. Did love the absorbency when I did where these out shopping, but for home I seem to need an overnight one. I am considering trying their overnight pad if the price is right.
