I am not sure if you have a Dollar General in your area, but I buy their brand and they seem to absorb and last longer than the Assurance and the depends brands. Meijer brand was not very good either. Good Luck

The ones the hospital gave me were not very good either. . sorry

Thanks. We're in the UK, tried Always pull up pants, but they were a bit neat, so bought Tena which are slightly larger which seems better, but more bulky at the crotch (for mum). District nurses were out yesterday so they are hopeful that mum will get them delivered to her soon. We tried pads but she didn't like them, seems ok with the pull up pants though, and more happy, probably as she's not uncomfortable and worried that she's had to be changed..

I tried to buy some online and unfortunately, since I live in Canada, I was not able to order any. I did go on the depends website and was able to start with having a free sample mailed to me. I am hoping it will help us get through the night without having to get him up at 2 o'clock in the morning. That is exhausting.
