At first, I found these pads to be a little uncomfortable; they were too wide. However, after they were in position for awhile I did get used to them. I found that they are easy to use and quite effective. (I had been using maxi pads before but these Poise Pads are a better product for LVL.) I will be using these products from now on and would recommend them. My only criticism is that they are rather expensive, so I'll be stocking up when they go on sale.

I found that these pads were very effective but very uncomfortable. I am very petite person and felt like i was wearing a diaper. I normally would have used regular (slim/small) pads to manage LBL and i think for me, it may be a better solution until Poise makes pads that are smaller, or very in size.

I would recommend this to a friend if she was a bit bigger then me as i think they were great at managing my LBL. However for a smaller person i dont think these would be very comfortable.

I definitely think this is a good product, it give you a great peace of mind to not worry about leakage. I did still have trouble forgetting that I was wearing a pad which would be my only complaint although they were very thin. Overall good product and I would buy it.

First of all, thank you to Poise and Chickadvisor for the generous supple of Poise pads. It is much appreciated.

As a new mommy and now owner to the infamous "Mommy Bladder", these poise pads are PERFECT. I've actually been wearing pantyliners for a few years now as I had a weak bladder(but now I can't even sneeze or cough without peeing half a cup). These pads are awesome. They keep me dry and stink-free. They do bunch a bit but as for overall performance, I will definitely be buying these from now on. I appreciate that they are softly individually package with a cute design. If I wore pads, it would stink and still be a bit moist if I wasn't able to change pads right away. With poise pads, there is no stink and completely dry with no irritation. I can't say enough good things about Poise Pads. Thank you!

I must have a bladder the size of a pea. I remember going to see a movie in a theatre with my boyfriend and having to leave several times throughout to deal with my LBL. No matter how much I went to the bathroom I always had a little leakage. I tried using pads and regular liners but they were always uncomfortable and didn't really absorb. I was excited to try these out when I got picked, although when I saw they were the size of a maxi pad I was a little offput. I liked how absorbant they are and they really weren't all that uncomfortable (don't get me wrong I still knew it was there). I definitely would like to try the liners as I only have mild LBL and think they would work better for my needs.

After having my son I've had major LBL problems. I just usually used regular liners. After using this product I had much more confidence about dealing with LBL. I didn't have to run to the wash room every few minutes and they last a lot longer than than regular liners. Great product would probably use again.

I usually use pantyliners and I was expecting pantyliners. You can imagine my surprise when I opened up the packet and found a heavy-flow menstrual pad type of thing. I can't remember the last time I used the traditional mattress-thick menstrual pads . So you can understand why I was totally repulsed by it. But I told myself that I'll try it for at least a few hours. If I don't like it, I don't like it. No harm done.

As soon as I got the pad on, I thought, "Wow! This is awesome! I don't feel a thing!!!" And all day long, it felt invisible, like I wasn't wearing anything but underwear. I can even say it's more comfortable than my regular pantyliners!! More comfortable than my ultra-thin pads.

I really like this. The only reason it didn't get full marks is the price. This is certainly much more than I normally pay for pantyliners and pads. So $25 for this package isn't great price but for the quality, it might be worth it!

I have to say that i was definately impressed with these Poise Hourglass Pads.......They were comfortable, easy to use, and extremely effective. They were more effetive in managing my LBL then my previous method. I felt confident with every sneeze and laugh that these would keep my little secret secret :) I will be purchasing these in the future and will be telling my friends about my experience. The only negative was, that i was hoping they would be scented.

I was thrilled when I opened my email and read I was selected for a product review for Poise Hourglass Pads. I have, like most, seen them in the stores for awhile now and wondered if they actually worked. So here are my own personal thoughts on the product. I do like that it comes in a nice looking purple package, not too flashy but not plain either. I mean, I know that I have an tiny issue with LBL but I don't need everyone to see that. Also, when I opened the inside package their was so much purple design on it, totally not needed. I do think the detail is a nice added touch, but there is a lot of it and it's not needed. I don't know about everyone and I know these are not "period" pads but I'm going to compare them for a second here. I hate having my period, wearing pads all the time is not my idea of fun. I was thinking the Poise pads would be more pantyliner like. I didn't feel comfortable, I could feel the thick pad all the time and I don't like that at all. Wearing this pad all day is just too uncomfortable, I would rather wear nothing at all. I mean, sure, they absorb, but so would a pantyliner, I know a pantyliner wouldn't keep a flood back but if you have just minor leakage then why would you want to have this huge thing all day. I don't currently use anything for LBL but I would rather wear a smaller pad opposed to this huge one. It's easy to put on, very effective (there is enough of it) and I think it's cute in appearance. But I don't think I would consider buying them in the future unless then slim them down a little bit. I wouldn't recommend these pads to someone with minor leakage issues, but I would likely if someone mentioned it happening often or in excess.

I was so happy when I got the e mail stating that I was going to be picked for the poise product review!! I received them in the mail and tried them right away. I love how they feel as well as the way it absorbs. The pad it very soft and feels nice when I am wearing one. I am now stuck on these pads and will be using them in the future. I used other pads and tied to see which ones are best for me. I will and am going to be recommending these to my friends. Thank you chick adviser for helping me find the right pad for me !
