First off, let me say these Continuon pull-ups feel surprisingly soft and lightweight—almost like regular underwear. The cotton material is gentle on the skin, and the waistband doesn’t dig in (most of the time). I wore them during errands, and they stayed discreet under jeans—no crinkly noises or obvious bulk.
However, the sizing is a gamble. I usually wear a medium, but these ran uncomfortably tight. Struggling to pull them up felt like wrestling with workout leggings two sizes too small. If you’re between sizes, size up!
The absorbency? Impressive. I accidentally tested this during a long commute, and the multi-core pad locked everything away without leaks or odors. But here’s the catch: one pair had elastic that detached mid-use, curling into my skin like a rogue phone charger wire. Not fun.
For occasional use (post-surgery, travel), they’re decent for the price. But if you need daily reliability, check out other brands first.
