I like these pads but I still have a problem with them overflowing before the front and back sections of the pad are used. So leaking is still a problem. They need some sort of wicking system to move the moisture away from the center to both ends. (Posted on 5/1/12)

For one thing, the heart shape goes in the front, not the back, read the arrows on the rip off cover on the sticky strip. I used ultimate longs in the old Poise design but then they started rolling into a sausage. Just then I got a free hourglass pad and boy was it better deisgned for me. The shape is more comfortable and I have never had a spill with these pads. (Posted on 3/25/12)

I have been buying these for awhile now. I just really like the coverage and fit. I will try the longs to see if I like those as well. Poise makes good pads. (Posted on 2/27/12)

I like the Poise Hourglass pads and find them very comfortable and absorbent. (Posted on 1/31/12)

The new hourglass shape Ultimate pad works the best for me. It works much better than the old Overnight pad. (Posted on 1/15/12)

I am a heavy person (350 lbs) and I need a wider and longer pad. These and all the other ones I have tired bunch up to a really narrow pad and do not give me much protection. If the pads were wider it would give more protection. Also why can't the sticky strip on the back cover the entire back of the pad? It's way too narrow and causes the pad's sides to roll inward. I have only found one panty liner that has sticky covering the entire back of the pad and I know that a thick pad could have the same coverage. I have tried name brands and generic pads and they all do the same thing. How about thinking of us larger women when designing these pads, we need them just as much as a slim person does.

does not hold liquid as well, also found it contains something in it that caused a rash develop with each use!!

They are so absorbent, I don't need the longer lengths. I have to go up stairs several times a day. When I wear longs, they are so bulky, I'm self conscious when someone is behind me. These are so absorbent, I can rely on them for protection (and comfort). (Posted on 1/3/12)

Nothing about these pads make sense. That heart shape at the back causes them to roll up and I end up with the tape sticking to my skin at the back end. The tape is applied off center and I either have to place them too far to the left or contend with tape hanging over my panties and sticking to my inner thigh. I also fail to see where they are more narrow in the center, they just appear to be wider on either end. (Posted on 12/26/11)

I love poise pads.....all of them. I do think these hourglass ones are a little short for me though. (Posted on 12/13/11)

I just love them. I use 2 different sizes because my needs are different at different times. I guess we are all different.. I use the Ultimate...these are very long, they work great! Then I use Maximum regular shaped pads...they absorb great.

I love the shape but they are just not long enough! Also I have to change more often than the moderate longs as these start to fall apart. (Posted on 11/28/11)

I just tried a package of these Poise pads and they are more comfortable than most because of their hourglass design. My only criticism is that they are too short. (Posted on 11/23/11)

I'm with Mrs. K. I had a sample pad and I wasn't impressed so I intended to buy the Regular Longs yesterday from $#%*@. I discovered I got a pack of Hourglass Longs disguised in a Regular package, and both last night and today I've had accidents leading to changing my clothes. They seem to act like a poorly absorbent tray section that simply spills over. I've never had this kind of problem with the Regular, and if I can no longer buy them, I will no longer be a Poise customer! (Posted on 11/1/11)

I loved the new design. All these pads have had the same shape as my mother's Kotex pads from the 50's! They're more comfortable and because of the narrower design absorb better. (Posted on 10/14/11)

The absorbency is not so good - the pads are way too short. I cannot rely on them for maximum protection. Give me the Poise regular long pads. (Posted on 9/27/11)

Very good absorbency, but not long enough. (Posted on 9/23/11)

The Ultimate protection pad is far too short in length to be used by anyone needing the maximum protection. The poise pad that is long and maximum strength fits terribly and falls apart within an hour use even if NO leakage appears. I wonder just who is testing these so called new products?

I love these pads. Very nice in design and absorbency! (Posted on 9/5/11)
