Speax by Thinx Hi-Waist Incontinence Underwear for Women, Washable Incontinence Underwear Women, Postpartum Underwear Feminine Care, Black, XX-Large

Had bad reaction to disposables. Decided to try these. Bought 3 pairs as a trial run. Worked great for those “cross your legs” moments (sneezing, coughing, laughing). Purchased a total of 10 pairs, using them for several months now.Pros: no leaks, easy to wash, no odor after washing. Comfortable to wear.Cons: must air dry or run the risk of loosing elasticity. Cost (expensive).I’m washing them on the delicate cycle with regular detergent and using Lysol Laundry Sanitizer instead of fabric softener. I’ll tumble dry for 15 min on delicate cycle, then hang to finish drying process, which takes about 24 hours. I’ve had no problems with odors after washing as some have mentioned here, possibly because I’m using the Lysol Sanitizing Wash in the the final rinse.

I like the fit; a snug 2x, which is the size I normally wear, or a size 10 Jockey panty. Well made using quality fabric. I wore them all day for the first time yesterday. Moisture wicked away. I was looking for an alternative to bulky unsustainable pull ups especially for a long trip I am taking to Europe in a week. They arrived in one day!4-27-23 Update. Still no complaints after wearing 2 of the three pair, and hand washing. I plan to take three pair on a 3 week trip and rotate them, washing a pair every night. I wrap in a towel and place them on a hanger. It takes me 24 hr. To dry. I feel great wearing them and its wonderful to avoid contributing to the landfill. The price tage compared to the throw aways is commensurate.

I have a disease of the bladder similar to childbirth- daily. Needless to say incontinence has been an issue for some time. But it also has made me aware of the pluses and minuses of pads, underwear etc. One thing my doctors have made very clear is that pads should be worn a maximum of 6 hrs. Since I urinate nearly hrly/24/7) it hasn’t been a problem. These are still a pad, more comfortable and certainly nicer, but still a pad. So they need to be changed regularly. I don’t know that I will use these all the time, I’m used to pads and they are easier to use once accustomed- but I will definitely use them for sleeping, massages, and other shorter time things. I intend to buy more and simply keep them near the toilet as well as an old style diaper pail. If you think- wow these are expensive, you haven’t been using pads long enough. I figure these will pay for themselves with less than a months use. Thank you speax for finally addressing a much too long ignored issue.

These are comfortable, breathable and offer protection with every sneeze. Will buy again.

PRO: Oh, these are sooooooo soft!! The stretchy material they use is awesome!!!!CON #1: Getting it out of the way, these are too expensive. I think $10 less a pair would be appropriate.But, having said that, I had purchased cheaper ones previously that crackled when I walked like I had on a plastic diaper. They went in the trash. Horrible. :(Size was perfect - Beware, though - I decided to purchase a couple more, and found them on sale on the Thinx site. Purchased same product, same size - but they are actually a bit snugger - especially around the leg openings. They will be ok, as I only wear these at home.CON #2: They do absorb little leaks, but, FOR ME PERSONALLY, when I'm out working, I want to have a dry pad against my skin, so change pads when needed (btw, I found Poise better than Tena for absorbing away from the surface!!). And if I have a coughing spell (allergies & asthma), forget it - this underwear will not dry with any amt of liquid, and yes, there will be an odor, although you may be the only one to notice. So, you can't just change underwear, like you can a pad.I do wear them at home (where I can change them if needed), because I get tired of feeling that pad between my legs - it get annoying at times. So, at home, I have some freedom, and peace of mind, with these underwear, because I'm always close to a fresh pair.

I’ve been buying these underpants for a couple of years. I love them and told all my friends about them. My recent order was a shock! Instead of the thin, silky smoothe stretchy fabric, what I got was the same Speax label but very different product. The cut and style is the same but the fabric is thick, coarser cloth with very little stretch. My normal size won’t even fit me! And they are bulky under my clothes. What happened to my favorite underwear???

These are lovely panties. The fabric is soft and comfortable. The absorbent pad is a little stiff at first but soon conforms to the body. My BIG complaint is that there is NO odor control. The pad absorbs well but does block odor. Even after hand AND machine washing, the urine odor is detectable. I had to use a urine odor remover spray to get rid of the smell. I expected better protection for the price. There are other (and less expensive) brands available that deliver better performance.

I decided to go ahead and try these because I can't stand having a pad in my underwear. They fit great! I am happy with the fit, although I didn't really know ahead if they would be big enough. They expand and the fit is great...I like that they hold me in, too, while doing their job. I recommend these to anyone who needs protection from leaks. They run true to size and are worth the extra bucks if leak protection is what is needed!
