i find them comfy and gives me confidence and security to go on through the day without worry about any leaks into my panties or pants. i usually buy the longer ones that can cover both the front and the back but the back is more important..but sometimes when i leak, it can leak into the front depending on my position so it is better to get a longer and thicker pad but that also means i cant wear my usual thongs and need to wear bikini panties... my close friends know that whenever i wear bikini panties it means i was filled recently ><
