| Attends have a unique square leg cut that looks odd but is very comfortable for most people. Great padding coverage, double waistbands and six tapes make this a long-standing favorite where discreetness and comfort are priorities.
| Compared to the old Abena, the new Abena has a larger leg opening that fits some people better. Less padding area but more gel make the absorbency about the same, while cost per ounce has gone down compared to the old product
| The Abri-Wing performed admirably in our test. Although no thicker than Attends, it absorbed almost twice as much liquid. Cost per ounce is about average, which is surprising considering the additional cost of the velcro fasteners.
| The Molicare super was the surprise of the test, offering incredible capacity in a very slim brief. Heavy 'gel' construction makes it slow to absorb, but the performance is good nonetheless.
| No surprises here - the Molicare SuperPlus performs very well, as it should. The generous paper pulp + gel construction makes it a champ at wicking; allowing more of the padding to be utilized before needing to be changed.
| Another strong performer from Abena. The Super offers very good capacity in a thinner package than the X-Plus. Cost per ounce is among the best, and press-out performance is outstanding.
| This brief is constructed similarly to the Molicare Super. More padding and more gel make it thicker and more absorbent. Heavy gel usage makes it slow to wick, but given time, it will absorb an outstanding amount.
| Still the the best adult diaper on the market, The "original" Abena X-Plus has come back to claim the title of "most absorbent brief" in a big way. Soaking up over 1/2 gallon of liquid, it actually emptied our test container, yet under the weight of 150 lbs. just 1 ounce of liquid was forced back out.
