2sail2 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I wore my second Boutique and it did not have the full pattern, just a bow in the front. I wonder how many are like that. Also, the pattern does not seem to be very clear unless it's stretched fully. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Has anyone noticed a difference in these? I just got my first pack in a while and they make me itch! I never had a problem until now. This is the first pack I've had with the 3 different designs (agree with 2sail2, the designs aren't very clear) and wonder what else they might have changed.

I had a problem with itching, but that was early on with the plastic leg gathers. Now they are cloth. I liked the plastic as you could hear it. But I am glad it's cloth now as it's way more comfortable. I do notice they have reduced the odor that is emitted. Though, my wife commented it smells like soap, so maybe there is something there that irritates you. Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The smell of Always Discreet has disturbed me from day 1. A diaper that smells when wet is one thing, but one that smells like you've stuffed a bouquet of flowers in your pants is just as bad. Link to comment

I don't know when you bought, but the smell has been reduced and is slightly different. Link to comment
2sail2 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 There is a new version out...can you guess? Inflation at work: thinner pad and thinner surround material. I have worn them from after showering through and just about to lunch time, then time to change. 2 cups of coffee and one tea. Link to comment
2sail2 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Whenever my wife buys from CVS, the leg gathers are purple. There are three layers of protection. There's very thin outer cloth, a bit of plastic that must cover the entire product, purple cloth leg gather, a second purple leg gather (which seems to be part of the first outer purple leg gather), some holes in a cloth fold, then a bit of empty space, then the pad itself. The plastic does hold in the heat and chaff some. It also makes a bit of noise. I currently don't have some from amazon, but they are just white. I think there are less leg gathers. I prefer these as they seem to breath a bit better. Link to comment
Little Lindsey Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I've been wearing these for years now and I think they're better than a lot of people give them credit for. I've emptied an achingly full bladder in them (not a full-out flood, more of a controlled stream, it IS still a pull up and has limitations) with no leaks. They hold a lot and swell up huge and satisfyingly squishy. Link to comment

Once again, my wife bought from store and they are plastic leg gathers. Amazon doesn't seem to sell the plastic ones, but cloth instead which provide better airflow and don't chafe. Link to comment

2sail2 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I got overnight L and had to pull the sides apart an inch. I didn't get a chance to really test them. But I am now :). Link to comment
Jan for June Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 These are honestly a great store brand pull up minus the perfume. It's somewhat overpowering and while I appreciate the effort on the part of the manufacturer it would be nice to have an unscented version of the Always Discreet. I've never run across any that are missing the purple leak guards, since it sounds like they're slightly different on Amazon as compared to a store brand that is something to keep in mind for anyone using these regularly.

2sail2 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Amazon has cloth like leak guards, which I prefer as they give better air flow. My wife bought recently from a grocery store and they were purple and plastic. If you can take out all the product and let them air out, that will help with the scent. If you have a garage that would work so it doesn't smell up the house. They used to be a lot stronger, but with everyone complaining it has gotten better. Link to comment
Guyver147 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Love the Always Discreets! They are usually my go to pullup. Anyone seen the purple Boutique ones? I have a feeling they discontinued them Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I just restocked my Always Discreet for the first time in about a year and was disappointed to discover they have changed. They are a strange, pale, grayish purple/pink now instead of the pure white. They kind of look dingy now. It also seems they've gotten rid of the different designs (used to have 3 different designs) they all just have the bow design in front. They changed the scent again, too, and it is not pleasant. Size-wise, they appear to be about the same, and I haven't noticed any decrease in capacity. I do think this will be my last time buying them. I just don't like the scent or color at all.

Moochie Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Diapers are far superior for wetting and messing than any pull up panty. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 So don't buy them. For those of us who only want to wear for short periods of time, they're just fine. ? Not everyone is looking for something they can flood and wear all day. Link to comment
