Depend Belted Shields Extra Absorbency, 30-Count Bag Review

The original $40+ price was ridiculous. That was the price for a case of this item. When the packaging we re-done, Amazon changed from a case of four to a single pack but did not lower the price. I called Amazon to complain. Three days later I got an email stating they lowered the price to $25.98. That is still $10+ more than this item costs at retailers. Sometimes we find this item for about $11.00 at Kroger. CVS has an everyday price of about $15. Amazon is usually a place for low prices or at the very least equal to retail. I wonder why they are gouging us on this particular item.

I think this is a great product but I think its scope could be broadened. Sure it's great for someone who's bedridden, or someone who's just had surgery and can't get immersed in water (i.e., shower or bathe). But, there's another whole line of users -- the traveler. Whether you take the occasional trip to Europe, Hawaii, or long business trips, this is ideal. Rather than getting off the plane and being cranky until you can shower, you can REALLY freshen up on the plane. I'll use it!!

Tena Serenity Pantiliner Review

I can't tell you how many of my 50+-aged female friends have asked me, in low embarrassed tones, if I have any problems with "leaking." They seem so relieved when I tell them that, oh, yeah, I've got a dribbly bladder and have had for years. They then confess that they do, too.
Hey, after all they've been through, old wimmins' bladders can get a little leaky. It's not a disease. It's normal aging. I don't want the pharmaceutical companies to make obscene profits off of me getting old (it's not a sense of urgency, anyway; it's occasional slight leaking), but I haven't been satisifed with the usual solution of using sanitary napkins to catch the dribbles.
I don't agree with a lot of folks here that the usual sanitary napkins are an acceptble substitute. Not if you aren't changing them quite frequently. A sanitary napkin is usually changed every four hours, more or less. The material they are made of is not designed to hold up all day, and certainly not all day and all night (or more, if you forget what day it is). They bunch up and get yucky and start coming apart at the seams. Even the Poise brand of incontinence pads (for me, anyway) don't hold up that well if worn longer than 12 hours, and I don't like the shape as much as I do the Tena pads.
So I like the Tena pads. They are made of a densely packed material, and I don't much notice I even have one on. They are folded up into a little tiny, tidy square with wrapper. I've gone through a 24-hour trial with one, and it's held up well. I don't notice a baking soda odor; I don't notice any odor at all, even after I've been wearing it for a while--which is the point. The adhesive is great (firmly adheres) and the length is, too. The narrowness of the pad is perfect for me; it doesn't roll and pull away from my panties and then get stuck on my sweatpants. I figure, at the rate I use these, it will cost me about $3 a month--and coupons will bring the price down. I'd spend more on sanitary napkins I have to change more frequently and be less content with.

Only one I've found that is cut to fit men. Comfortable and protective. If you've had the prostrate surgery I've had, you don't want a pad that puts pressure on the bladder area - this is the only one I've found that is painless to wear after that type of surgery.

Prevail Protective Underwear Review

My problem isn't with my bladder; I have instant, uncontrollable diarrhea without any warning. Depends let it leak through. Prevail doesn't. I save my plastic grocery sacks to dispose of the used ones in. This is an embarrassing review to write, but I hope it will help somebody else. BTW, if you have this problem, try cutting out all wheat, rye, and barley products, and READ LABELS because there is wheat in a lot of places you don't expect, including soup and beer (which I haven't used for 35 years anyway). You might find that you're gluten-intolerant. If so, Amazon has a huge selection of gluten-free products, but when you see the prices, which aren't any better anywhere else, you might decide that it's easier to live without bread, crackers, cookies, etc.
