My Mom is also not able to get absorbent panties her size, and she has the same incontinent bladder as I do. She does use the poise pads and wears them under her regular panties or girdle to hold them in place well, even after they get a little heavy (you know how that feels I am sure). Usually she can go up to several hours between changing. One thing, if you wear the pad under panties or girdle that is pulled too tight. just enough to keep the seals against you and support the pad as it gets heavier. You can tell if it is right if walking is fine without the pad chafing you. If it is chafing, it is too low and not sealed either. Well that is my experience and is confirmed by my mom. Good luck with your trip and regular use hon!

The poise ultimate pad may work for you.

How to find proper pad or panty

Jun 24, 2008 2:48 PM
Hi - new here. I have a mixed incontinence. Never had a REAL accident. But close calls.

I am a bigger woman and I cant find any of the "panties" that fit me. Are there any larger size women who can give me some advice.

I am taking Sanctura but no med seems to help much. I did Stop all diet products with ASPARTAME and that helped a bit.

I am going on a bus trip July 4 weekend and I DREAD it (cant cancel) bec. its a small bus with no bathroom (I didnt think they could even use that type of bus inter-state.) I am getting a new prescrip from Dr for a new version of Sanctura and trying to figure out which pads to use meanwhile.

I am so glad i found this board and can talk to people about this. i am tired of planning my travel around this problem and NOT being able to go on tours.

Thanks for any advice you might be able to give.
