Depends pads. Old vs new

Been wearing Guards since my surgery in 2004 to maintain my post-surgery quality of life. I wear Shields at night. To me, the new Guard design is just a larger Shield. I do not like the shape of the new Guards. The new design does not keep me in place and secure. When I leak, it is into the edge of the pad and into my underwear. Never had this problem with the old design.
I ordered old ones but got new ones instead.

@rondyches yes. I have noticed they move around. Going to try Kroger brand pads

@rondyches
Hey I use the new ones I like them better. More comfortable. I find in my case just as absorbent as the old ones. But let me ask you this how often did you have to change the old ones. I saw where Jeff recommends Tena. Yes very good product too expensive. If you want to try them Tena will send you a sample pack. Hey you probably know this already but just in case. Diet helped me out tremendously from 5 pads a day to 3. That’s a win for me.
