Pads- Anyone Use Them?

[WetDad]

My IC changes with the seasons, and so I am trying pads as I have grown weary of pullups and diapers. However, I need a BIG pad. What do you use? What do you buy at the local drugstore when your out of your normal selection? I have had a number of embarassing experiences with several store products so far, but the best to date has been the Tena Overnight pads. Anything else out there that is more absorbent?

Take a look at the Abena Abri-San Midi 5. They're basically undetectable and can be lined with a pampers 7 or something else. They resemble the Kendall Lille's in the photo above. But they're not that big, though adequate for a male. The next step up (size 6) covers more area but doesn't appear to be any more absorbent. And, of course, there's also the Abri-San XP, which I imagine would be quite bulky.

If you're limited to what you can find in stores, the Tena Overnight pads are probably the best you'll get. They're a bit bulky for me.

I ordered a package of the AbriSan 7s, and a "sample pack" that also included #5s and #11s (XPlus) as well. I found the Midis to be too small on their own- leaking very quickly. The XPlus is rather oversized- might be good on an outing to the theater. The 7s are big but much thinner than the Tena pads. Far more comfortable and absorbent as well.
