Let me start by saying, if you're dealing with incontinence or postpartum leaks, these Poise Ultra Thin Pads are a total lifesaver. I've tried countless brands, and none come close to the comfort and effectiveness of these.

The first thing you'll notice is how incredibly thin they are. Seriously, they're barely noticeable when worn. But don't let the thinness fool you - these pads can hold an insane amount of liquid without bulking up. I did my own little experiment (because why not?) and poured 1.5 cups of water slowly onto one pad. It absorbed like a champ, only thickening to about an inch.

What really sets these apart is the Dry-Touch layer. Unlike some other brands where you feel dampness after an accident, these keep you feeling dry almost instantly. The Leak-Block sides are genius too - I've had minimal side leaks even during heavy flow moments.

The length is perfect for both front and back protection (I'm 5'6" for reference), though if you're particularly petite, they might feel a bit long. The adhesive sticks well to most underwear types without leaving residue - though I did see one reviewer mention issues with this in recent orders.

Now for the real test - odor control. The FreshSense technology works wonders. Even after several hours, there's no noticeable smell - and no overpowering perfume scent either which I appreciate.

A few things to note: These work best for moderate to heavy leaks rather than just light dribbles (the #6 absorbency is serious business). Also, while they're great for daytime use, you might want something heavier like their overnight version for bedtime protection.

After months of use, I can confidently say these have restored my confidence and comfort in daily life. They're discreet enough that I forget I'm wearing them but protective enough that I never worry about accidents.
