Abena Abri Flex Premium M1 80-110cm hip/waist size, Pull Up, 1500ml

I have tried many, many kinds and this one is hands down the best I have found both for absorbency amd comfort.. He weighs 170 lbs. and totally incontinent, he wore the medium for awhile and they were good but when i tried the large it was even better. Still have not figured out what the little plastic tag on the outer back which it a little sharp and not meant to come off??? Could do without it.

We are sooo happy to have these for our mom. They are excellent!

I buy these for my mother-in-law who has incintinence that can range from a little dribble to full loss of bladder control. We initially tried "depends for women - maximum absorbency - size XL" and while those are just fine for the dribble days, they do NOT contain large amounts of liquid and leak very easily. I have even had them fall apart coming off and the liquid absorbing gel inside got all over the floor and it was a mess to clean up! I initially only bought one bag of these abena anti-flex air to try bc they are more expensive, but we haven't had a single accident since switching so I will be sticking with these.PROS:1) 2 levels of absorbency and the most absorbent I have found on the market and they seem to absorb fast (the letter/number combo on the bag tells you the size & absorbency. ex.: L1 is large - level one aka "plus" which absorbs about 34oz of liquidL3 is large - level 3 aka "extra" which absorbs about 74oz of liquid2) plenty of elastic to keep these pants up even when substantially wet and the pull up style is easier to wear for someone who still uses the bathroom whenever possible. Although difficult to change when soiled bc you have to remove your shoes, pants, etc., I still find it easier than putting a traditional "tab style" underpant on an adult who is standing up.3) elastic leg cuffs prevent leaks...even watery bowel movements. Now that does not mean you've got all the time in the world and I don't know how well they would hold up if you sat down like that, but they'll hold long enough to make it to the bathroom without a huge mess. ALSO these have tear away sides to make cleanup easier and an extra tape tab stuck to the back to tape the diaper shut with after rolling it up.4) wetness indicator is very useful so you can see exactly where the undergarment is wet.5) my MIL had experienced some rashes and skin irritation while using the "depends" brand. That has cleared up since using the abena abri-flex air. These seem to keep the moisture away from her skin better and I don't notice any odor even when I know she needs to change.CONS:1) the are kinda pricey at $1.41 each (depends were about $0.65). We do use less of these bc they are more absorbent and hold up better so it's not too bad.2) they can be hard to open... it's like trying to open those little plastic bags in the produce dept! The trick is to open them from the leg hole and stick your hand through. Easy enough for me, but my MIL has Alzheimer's and can't remember so she's always complaining they're stuck :/ and she finds it frustrating.3) these do have a snugger fit bc of all the elastic so they are a little harder to pull up. On the one hand, that's what makes them stay up even when wet, but on the other, it's def harder for someone with dexterity, balance or flexibility issues to pull them all the way up. I have not had them tear while putting them on though which is good.All in all, if you can afford these slightly more expensive underpants, I would highly recommend them! Less accidents means less changing & less laundry for me and more independence and less embarrassment for my MIL. Win win :)

I can't tell you how many different pull on adult incontinence underwear we have tried. Many have failed the test, leaking or just crumbling. A family member of mine has severe nighttime incontinence, as well as sleep apnea, so there is no waking her up, and she requires something that can hold quite a bit of liquid throughout the night. It was becoming a huge burden to wash sheets every night and she was soaked from head to toe. Not only is it embarrassing, but she was developing horrible rashes on her legs from sleeping in urine all night. As painful as it was for her pride, adult incontinence underwear (adult diapers) seemed to be the best option. We went through Tena ultra absorbent pads, Depends nighttime, Tranquility premium overnight pads, and Attends briefs. None of them could withstand the amount of liquid she would put out during the night and all of them ended up leaking. We were able to make die with a PUL cover up but it was irritating her skin so bad. I found these and despite the price, they have been absolutely incredible. Only one night she leaked and that was because the pad slipped in a weird direction overnight. Otherwise she's had dry nights and the pad is extremely absorbant. When it's taken off in the AM, it does not leak or anything. These are by far the best pads/adult diapers she has ever used. Highly recommend for someone who has a very high output of liquids. I also really like that they are super easy to remove. All you need to do is rip the sides and they come off. She hasn't needed to wear a PUL cover either. The inner pad is also very large, coming to the top of the front and back of the pull-up. I would not recommend this for someone with constant fecal issues, although there was one incident in that regard, and the pads did hold up well with no leakage. It was changed almost immediately after the incident so I can't say how well it would hold up overnight. They have small side "walls" that helped keep things in.

It is VERY rare I write a review. But I am doing it b/c I am compelled to help anyone who is going thru what I am right now. My 68 year old mother was recently diagnosed with dementia. On occasion she gets a UTI, which in a dementia patient is a completely different event for a younger women. They experience delirium, incontinence, and become very off balance. During my mother's last UTI - she lost all bladder control due to such elevated confusion. In addition there were a few incidents of bowel incontinence as well. In emergency, I ran to Walgreen and bought a variety of overnight adult pulls-up (Depends, etc). They were terrible. They leaked. They made her sweat profusely from all of the plastic against her skin even when dry. In an attempt to help my sanity and preserve her dignity, I google'd to death. I read a zillion reviews. And finally I bought these. BEST THING EVER. No leaks - no extra liner even necessary. No crinkling sounds. No sweating from gross cheap plastic elasticity. It was true to size and able to be put on lower in the front and higher in the back (what a women would need to sleep) without compromising protection. Which in turn could also be put on higher in the front and lower in the back to meet a man's needs. They didn't tear after numerous up/down for toileting. Yes, they are pricier. But well worth every penny. Less sheet washing. Less sore skin. I would never buy another thing to help my mother for this problem than these Abena overnights. Totally true to size and absorbency.
