I can't find the prior post wherein a gentleman tested several brands of incontinence pads a few years back and determined that Walmart's Assurance Brand, 52 pack was the overall best value for the money. I have used that product since my RP in 2016 and was very satisfied until a year or two ago when it was redesigned. Each pad's weight went from 105 oz down to 71 oz. The price rose of $9+ to $10+. So, at first glance Walmart did a good job of keeping the price down until one realizes one has to change pads more often. The heavier pad worked best for me as I previously used just two over a 24-hour period. Not so now. It's a hassle now.
Has anyone found pads that are heavier/better at absorption than the previously recommended Walmart Assurance Brand, 52 pack and that are cost effective.?
I am sure any information provided would benefit others beside myself.

I used the Walmart brand for the first few weeks. Then KEGEL, KEGEL, KEGEL! For me that solved it.

I went to a PT certified in giving pelvic therapy. I went for weeks but it didn't help. She had a PHD in PT.
