Comfort and Fit

Pros:

  • "They are very comfortable and stretch with a softness that makes them almost unnoticeable."
  • "These really do fit better."
  • "They fit well because they’re stretchy so I could probably fit in them even if I were a little bigger."
  • "They fit well. Don’t make odd bulges. They don’t make odd noises."
  • "They are form fitting but have give...and I feel like I'm wearing regular underwear."
  • "They feel like having almost normal underwear on, just a little more high-waisted."
  • "I wear size 6 cotton underpants and this size fits me perfectly."

Cons:

  • "These are not the quality of depends I started using several years ago!! They used to be soft and comfortable now they are stiff and have a crackle sound to them."
  • "I bought these in the size it recommended for my measurements/weight. That was also the size I had bought in other brands with no problems. But with these, they didn't fit at all."
  • "These are sized TOO SMALL. Esp in the back, despite stretchy fiber."
  • "I must be between sizes the xl was tight and not comfortable and the xxl is big but a little more comfortable."
  • "They are very uncomfortable and itchy due to different material and manufacturing process."
  • "These panties cut into my legs in the groin, the pain wakes me up during the night."
  • "not super comfy and not a lot of stretch to them, I order size up."

Absorbency and Leakage

Pros:

  • "These feel like panties and work amazing during the day and overnight!"
  • "First absorbancy- fabulous job. Absorbs well, no leaks, felt dry to me."
  • "No leaks with the DEPEND Fit-Flex."
  • "They are well designed in the leg and padded areas to prevent leakage."
  • "When I opened the package my first thought was what a waste of money. They are super thin and at first glance you think a 1/2 tsp of liquid would leak. I was totally wrong. They hold a tremendous amount of liquid and don't leak, even on the sides."
  • "THEY DON’T LEAK, and that is a major plus."
  • "The Depends fit closely to regular underwear and I have rarely had an accident that wasn't contained."

Cons:

  • "I just talked to Depends customer support and this product is NOT 25x more absorbent. Very disappointed."
  • "These are supposedly 'maximum' absorbency, but the truth is, they have about as much absorbency as a light panty liner."
  • "I am disappointed. I cannot depend on these briefs! Good points, fit well and light. Big time leakage around legs and I have to change clothes 3-4 times a day. I will not purchase them again!"
  • "The absorption is all right for slow leaks, but during a sudden total loss of bladder control they can't keep up with the flow and leak everywhere."
  • "Absorbs very slowly. Urine flows everywhere, wetting clothing, bedding, upholstery, etc."
  • "I used this product in hopes that it would not leak along the sides. It does leak and any movement causes that to happen more often."
  • "The actual absorbent piece is very short and does not go up very high in the back or the front so i dont think it gives great protection."

Quality and Design

Pros:

  • "Depend's disposable underwear are wonderful. They are very stretchy and flexible and hug the body without sagging."
  • "They look and feel more like real underwear and are not bulky or obvious."
  • "They are soft and comfortable and do not hint at all as to what they are."
  • "These Depend FIT-FLEX Incontinence Underwear For Women are amazing. They are soft and comfortable, just like a real pair of underwear."
  • "These adult incontinence underwear are comfortable to wear."
  • "Great for post partum!! Very absorbent and so much more comfortable to wear than a thick pad."
  • "They are really comfy which surprised me because some of my family members said adult diapers are really uncomfortable and get in the way."

Cons:

  • "To this point, three of the pull-ups in the package tore on the left side before even getting them on, making them useless."
  • "They have definitely changed their manufacturing process and materials, most likely to save them money."
  • "It seems to tear apart fairly easy which means you have to change them more often."
  • "These must be defective that couldn’t be sold in stores! The seams are inside out on the sides and the absorbency pad comes up the front rather than evenly in the middle where it should be."
  • "I bought these because they were cheaper than the other brands. I had to get rid of almost 1/4 of them because they ripped at the seam rendering them unusable."
  • "I use to love the fact that this was one of the top brands, let's start with the look. It looks as if the product was a disposable panty, with a sanitary napkin glued to the seat, it become detached and the glue is all over me and the toilet."
  • "Unpleasant odor which I figured would diminish with time after airing out. But then it was like it was desenigrating before my eyes after use. It was falling apart like pieces of cotton."

Value and Convenience

Pros:

  • "Perfect for my 89-year-old mother. Coming every month totally works for me."
  • "These were perfect for during labor when my water was slowly leaking, and after when I was recovering!"
  • "Absolutely necessary for post partum recovery. Used these every day. Made life easier due to post partum bladder leakage. Kept me dry throughout the day and very discreet."
  • "The price is better than the Silhouette Active Fit briefs that I tried before and loved... while these are just as good."
  • "Depends are now on my must have list for after giving birth and will be my recommendation to fellow moms."
  • "and at only $0.52 cents apiece, these are simply the best buy out there and I have tried 3 others."
  • "I’ve been struggling with heavy periods since having kids, and I dread nights for the inevitable leaks. Tried these for the first time last night… game changer!"

Cons:

  • "I cannot count how many times in the past I drove to a store only to find out they were out or did not have the size I needed."
  • "So now I’m back to the drawing board and that’s more money I don’t have out of my pocket."
  • "The New 100% leak proof depend is OK if you change every hour. I went from 7 a day to 10 now 210- 300 a mount old stile was fine now we wash more close and bedding. NO SAVING."
  • "They are more expensive through Amazon than the drugstore, but the drugstore doesn't always carry her size. Amazon does. That works for me."
  • "Look at how much money those of us that are disabled or elderly are spending on these horrible products that don't work at all."
  • "I am not happy...these are expensive and should not do this."
  • "I wish I could send them back but I opened them to try them on so I can't."
