I switched to TotalDry for night time about 2 years ago. I have rarely had a leak since. Also, never had a rash or any other issue. Plastic backed and feels just like underwear. I used to use Molicare, but they have all moved over to Hartmann and are now all cloth backed and seem to not fit right.
I don't care for the thick briefs. They are so uncomfortable and clearly obvious when wearing.
I also like Tranquility ATN, but the medium is a bit small and the large is very large. They don't have an in-between size.

i use Dignity Compose. i have both fecal and urinary incontinence. they say they are for moderate protection. I find that since they are fairly thin they allow for fecal incontinence very well. i line them toward the rear with a couple large dry paper wipes. that way they can be easily cleaned up and the pullup is still clean for further use. then i place a Total Dry Duo booster pad for urinary, which can be replaced when full. this is economical and often i only use one pullup and about 3 pads in an 8- 11 hour period. the pullups alone will hold only about one pee but if you over use it, it will leak. i have used abena 1400 (i think that is what it is called)and they are way too thick and work out disasterously for fecal. i’d rather the risk of pee leaking than the other. to me the leaking pee is just a fact of life. it is rarely enough that it can’t be hidden. the Dignities dont let pee soak through. they have inner leg cuffs which does help. but they are not perfect. i am afraid that for me a less leaking pullup would be too uncomfortable to wear. as it is i frequently go to the men’s room to pull them down and cool off. i know other people insist that i can find better but they also say they wear layers of max protection. that would make me insane. i buy the above from Vitality Med. 20 medium dignity pullups are under $11. the total dry boosters are about $7.50 for 30. I have recently gotten samples of a similar pullup from Tye medical. they are easily as good and are softer. did not notice any soak thru. they cost a few dollars more too. i have never found any good protection in a store. the closest was a fairly new product Tena overnight but they sag. i’m sticking with dignity.
