What product should I use?

So, I'm a proud mother of 2 children, one of which I gave birth to about a year ago. Ever since, I discovered I've been suffering from mixed incontinence. So, I use poise pads (maximum absorbency) to remedy the problem. I do leak a considerable amount (up to my whole bladder) each time, and I end up with 2-3 soaked pads a day. These days, sometimes when I leak, the pee leaks out of the pad. I think this is because I'm sitting on the pad for a considerable amount of time (I have an office job). So, does anybody know good products or steps to stop these leaks?
 
If the Tena doesn't do the trick you may consider an absorbent reusable pad and/or a discreet plastic panty.
 
Abena has a wide variety of pads, some hold LARGE amounts, much more then the Poise line would ever touch, have a look online.
 
Although I use disposables when I travel, I prefer washables and plastic pants when I'm at home. I find them much more comfortable and they absorb more than the highest-rated disposables. Granted, there is extra laundry, and the upfront costs are considerable. However, because a good inventory of washables can last for years, the total cost is much less. Good luck.
 
Don't know if it's proper to share/advertise links here, etc. but look for either HDIS or Duraline Medical Products on the web. Duraline are a particularly excellent small business operation out of Ohio where you can conveniently order and re-order via Internet a wide variety of pads, liners, pull-ups in whatever combination most appropriate for you. I was born with spina bifida related incontinence and now wear disposables and leg braces. Growing up I struggled with washable cloth undergarments and plastic pants, also metal long-leg braces. I'm now retired but many women I used to work with have sometimes mentioned they use Attends or Depends to help manage with their monthly health routine. So you need not feel embarrassed. Seek medical help and find the right product you need to help you enjoy a healthy day!
 
Molicare or Abena brand are the most absorbant and comfortable, i mostly wear Abens, you might like either one
 
My current inventory of washable diapers are from Adult Cloth Diaper, with overpants from Duraline and Angel Fluff. When I travel, I use Abena and Molicare diapers, with inserts from Depend, and polyurethane laminate overpants from Duraline.
