Abena Abri-San Premium Incontinence Pads, Heavy Absorbency, (Sizes 8 T

Customer Reviews

Great at stopping leaks but horrible about staying in placeI have a love/hate feeling about these Abri-San Premium 6 pads. They are much wider and longer than any other pad I have seen. There is elastic along the edges of the water resistant fabric that serves to form a cup-like shape that holds liquid in until it is absorbed. This is the unique feature that lets them keep me so much dryer than any other pads. The thing that I REALLY, REALLY hate is that there is NO ADHESIVE STRIP!!!. The manufacturer seems to believe they will just magically stay in place! I have news for them. They fold over in the front, fold over in the back, bunch up in the crotch, and slide down your leg!! When they slide around like this, liquid spills out defeating the wonderful elastic sides. I finally ordered really strong 1" wide double-stick tape that use to anchor them to my underwear. This works, but why in the heck don't they just put an adhesive strip on these great pads????? 4A Comfortable and Absorbent Pad to Keep You DryUsing an adult diaper in the summer can be uncomfortable. Many diapers have sides or wings that don't breathe causing sweaty hips and upper thighs. If you need the protection of an adult diaper without the sides, try the Abri-San Premium Pads in Size 11. They are a very large pad that has padding that is the same width and length as the medium Abena Abri-Form M4 adult diaper. This pad weighs 155 grams vs. 175 grams for the Abena M4. Abena call these pads part of a two piece system, as it is meant to be used with their snug fitting washable pants or in a pinch could probably be used with snug fitting underwear. It is a bit of a learning curve to apply the product to the body and takes some adjustment to get the pad to settle into the groin in position to protect you. There is a bit of bulk between the legs that takes some getting used to at first. If you are used to a thicker standard diaper, it will feel familiar in fit, but if you are coming from a store brand of bladder control pad or protective underwear, it may feel too bulky to wear comfortably. The good news is that the Abena Abri-San line of pads comes in 14 sizes/absorbancy levels, so you should be able to find a product that fits your level of bladder incontinence. There is even an Abri-San pad made just for people who have bowel incontinence that has deep side pockets down the entire length to keep everything safely contained. The outer cover is breathable and fabric like, so they are quiet when you are moving around while wearing them. The inner liner is very smooth and soft to the touch, similar in feel to cotton undies. The pad is fairly thick and hourglass shaped with wider padding at the rear. There are elastic leg gathers at the center of the pad and leak guards that run lengthwise along the entire pad. The absorbency is rated the same as the Abri-Form M4 diaper, but I find I leak a bit more at the legs in these pads because I cant get the same snug fit as I can with a traditional tape-on diaper. The pad can also shift a bit to one side and this can increase leaks at the legs. For this reason, I would not recommned them at night if you have heavy leakage or are an active sleeper. What they excel at is keping the area that they cover cooler, especially around the hips. I sweat much less when I wear these instead of a diaper. They are definitely comfortable to wear and remain comfortable as they are used for their intended purpose. They do swell as they fill with urine, but the inner surface still feels dry to the touch and keeps the skin dry even when they are full. I would definitely recommend them for summer use or for times when you need less bulk at the hips, such as when wearing dress pants. If you are looking for an alternative to a diaper and need the absorbency of a diaper for heavy bladder leakage, give these a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. 4I buy as needed regularly.Fantastic product!Wife had a stroke and these are God sent.Reduces the cost of pull ups pants, bed pads and other more expensive liners. Saves on laundry, we from 3 loads a day to one most days. Cut the pull up pants cost by 2/3. Leaving home now is not an issue, going to family meet ups no problem. Wonderful product. 5NOT 17" LongDefinitely NOT 17" long! Same length as the Poise Overnight pad (13.5") . Very wide middle that can bunch and cause leakage. Although soft and comfortable, I would not recommend single use. I added a medium Poise pad while finishing the package that controlled the '"middle bunching" and added extra length. As theAbena pads cost more than most other pads, adding a second pad becomes an expensive option. Very disappointed that the 17.3" length was false. 2Good Substitute For Tape-On BriefsIt was aptly described elsewhere as being a full diaper without the taped sides. My experience has been that it provides excellent non-leak protection for overnight use in a 90+ year old with dementia who is not cooperative with the turning and manipulation required to use tape-on products. I use them slipped into pull-up underwear products from a variety of companies and not just Abena. For example they also fit into Tena, Depend, and others as long as you get the large size. In the morning, the protection is usually so good that the under pull-up is absolutely dry. 5Great Overnight PadsI used these pads as overnight pads. I placed these in pull-up disposable underwear. This pad is especially wonderful for people who have later stage Alzheimer's or other illnesses that required them to be bed bound. This pad was able to hold a very large amount of urine and yet the skin stayed dry. The patient was able to sleep through the night and the bed was dry and skin intact. For the day time I experimented with other sizes. For more active persons, there is special underwear to hold these pads in place. For people who are more wheelchair bound regular disposable pull-up underwear (I got mine from Costco) works just fine. 5Very SoftThese are so nice and soft, but they don't have the staying power to wear around while walking etc. There is a strip of adhesive but it is weak and doesn't hold up to more than about three bathroom trips. The pad its self rolls up also and though it starts with a nice area of coverage pretty soon its just a little wad. I think these must be meant for bed ridden people. If you are still up and walking I would not recommend them. 3These are GREAT!! Before these I was changing my mother s ...These are GREAT!! Before these I was changing my mother s sheets everyday because her overnight diapers were leaking thru. I even tried putting 2 regular diapers on her and it was unfortable and still leaked. These booster pads were the answer to my prayers! She no longer leaks and I m not constantly changing her sheets. I highly recommend these. Well worth the money! 5These are great and save me lots of washing.This is my first incontinence product. A herniated disc in my lower back has caused progressive bladder issues so unfortunately, I had to eventually find something for severe sleep accidents. I personally appreciate the generous width and length. Better safe than sorry and I don't find them uncomfortable at all, they are very soft and flexible. It doesn't disturb my sleep at all. A very sudden gush from a full bladder with a lot of urine will generally run off the back/front if you stand up or move too fast, but I am overall satisfied. I will definitely order again. I also have very heavy menstrual bleeding and they work super for that purpose. I have missed how they used to make these supersize pads for periods since I went off my Depo shot and my periods came back with a vengeance. No more stained sheets or clothes with this product! They have superior odor protection as well. 5No adhesive to help keep in placeThis product holds far more liquid than other products. However, there is no adhesive to help keep in place. They are difficult for dementia patients to use. 3
