| 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 much thinner package than the X-Plus. Cost per ounce is among the best, and press-out performance is outstanding.
| Although a bit expensive per piece, the Attends extended wear proves it self as the most absorbent made-in-USA product we have tested to date. High capacity brings the cost per ounce absorbed in line with other premium adult diapers.
| The Abena Abri-From Extra slots into the Abena lineup between the Super and X-Plus. Although it takes a bit longer to absorb, nonetheless holds nearly as much as the X-Plus without the extra initial bulk.
| Abena's value line certainly does not skimp on performance. Although the Delta lacks the waistband of the X-plus and gives up some press-out performance, it nonetheless runs neck and neck with the x-plus for absorbency, at a lower cost.
| Still one of the best adult diapers on the market, The Abena X-Plus brings absorbency 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. Available in both "original" plastic and newer Air Plus styles, this has been our most popular product for several years now.
| The new Dry 24/7 has rightfully taken the title of "most absorbent adult diaper". 93 ounces is unmatched by any product we have ever tested (and we test a lot). This incredible absorbency combined with low press out make a great all around performer. Note that the sizing on the Dry 24/7 is larger than the others, which may work for some people and not for others.
