have any of you found a brand of pads that are long enough to cover the whole radiated area, but especially the butt

 

if so, please note the brand and the model

 

I keep buying pads that are really not sufficient

    If you are using period pads, you might look for the ones I used to buy.  I believe they were Stayfree brand extra long.

    Stayfree

    I used Stayfree with wings, I think it was a night-time one that was extra long. 

    I also used Always pantyliners that were extra long.

    Padding along.

    I used to use a cotton menstrual pantyliner made and sold by the CVS drugstore chain, the heavy capacity long ones. They are quite comfy.

    However, after a few alarming large loose-stool incontinences and with increasing urinary incontinences, I moved to the Always brand "discreet bladder control" pads, 4-1/2 drops on their scale of 7 for "heavy" and the "long length". They are not as comfortable (kinda scratchy) and I don't like the scent of the adhesive, but they have worked well so far.

    If my poo stays more formed, as it is now, maybe I'll be able to move back to those cottony pads. If not, I suppose my next stop will be Depends pull-ups!
