I find that Poise pads are too short. When you buy the long pads the front of them has a fold over area which still doesn't make them long enough. I also find that they don't stick very well to underware.

This product was bulky and uncomfortable.

I found that the hourglass pads are too thick and uncomfortable. It shows through my underwear. I also find it a lil bit irritating. I usually wear thinner pads and I bought the light hourglass pads and they still do not compare to what I usually wear. I would recommend this for women over the age of 30. Not suitable for younger women.

This pad is great in terms of quality and effectiveness, but I was not a fan of the thickness of the pad. I recieved the normal pack, and although it did feel like a cushion it was really thick and very difficult to wear under jeans. It did a good job keeping everything clean with the super absorption - but it was too diaper-like for me. I think I prefer something more thin.

i thought the product was acceptable except that it was wider then i would have liked and not long enough. As for absorbency it was rather amazing, better than i thought.

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 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.

these pads are very effective for LBL but I found them to be quite bulky, they need to be made a bit smaller but overall I like them
