Molicare Super Plus are indeed some of the best. Personally, an elastic waistband would put them at #1. As for the wellness, I recently ordered a sample and received defective ones. First, the elastic on the inner leg wasn't there on the left side on both samples. Also, on the inside of the back (the part that would be touching your lower back), it was as if sand was just underneath the plastic. It was like wearing sandpaper. In the company's defense, I contacted them and received 2 more samples within 3 days. They were still a little rough in the same area, but no where near the same as before. Also, the inner elastic was fixed. It was simply a manufacturing glitch, which all companies experience from time to time.
