Incontinence pads that stick inside your underwear come in a variety of sizes to accommodate most body types. Available on Amazon and in most grocery stores and pharmacies. Also, have you tried cutting the elastic bands out of the legs of the underpants? Then wear boy shorts over them to keep them snug to the body. It is a make do fix but may help.

Thank you for your suggestion...I have tried various options to include those you mention. Cutting the elastic has helped. My point in bringing up the issue is to motivate companies to be more responsive to consumer needs. There is NO reason in this day & age that the consumer (in this case...a 60ish yr old lady) should have to MacGyver solutions unless they are employed in one of said companies R&D teams. Anyone hiring??
