Never let it be said that I'm not a little zany. Some may say "crazy," but I prefer zany.
Anyway, I got a three-pack of these for free a little while back, and since I occasionally, well, leak when I laugh and sneeze and generally really need to pee (yeah, so? I had four kids in 3½ years, dammit!), I figured I'd give these babies a go. I wear about a size 6, give or take a size depending on make and manufacturer, so I got the small/medium size.
Well, the first problem was, they were HUMONGOUS on me. HUGE. So if they made an XS, I'd try that and report back, but I don't think they do. I'm going to get my friend Jenny From the Block to try them out, too, and see how they work for her.
Anyway, so I got my big ol' bladder nice and full, pulled on a pair of these Silhouettes, sat down on the living room floor, and... yeah. I did it. I peed my pants. Totes on purpose. Sitting on my laminate-wooden living room floor.
And they leaked like CRAZY. Rob thinks they would've worked better if they fit better, and he may be right, but I think the liter-plus of wizzy I put in them was just entirely too much. No lie, I can hold more than a liter at a time. Believe me, I've measured it.
So I had a huge puddle to clean up, and weewee all over my lower half, to boot.
To sum it up: If you're going to try these, make sure that you go down a size than you would normally buy. Although I have it on good authority that the Tena brand is better. I have some of those, too. Should I let you know whether I concur?
Fin.
P.S. I thoroughly laughed my ass off while doing this. Yes, I had fun. And no, I didn't poop my pants. You've gotta draw the line somewhere, y'know.
Thank GOD for Depends!!!!!grandma loves them...lol

Thanks so much for the sample, l/xl was the size more preferrable. They were very comfortable just a little tight around the crouth area when you set down for long periods. I will use the coupon to purschase again.

I have tried all the underwear.. You need to add small and extra small sizes. The siloutte is really good but still too large for my body. Hopefully you will add another aize. Extremely comfortable. please make smaller sizes.

I recently tried Depend Silhouette and the large was the best fit. I have problems at night mostly, I have totally wet the bed. I already use POISE PADS however they are not working very well,I still awake to a wet bed and or clothing due to leakage, sometimes the pad is dry but I am wet.This product was very comfortable and did the trick no leakage what so ever. I am keeping the little card with your info on it and I have a doctor appointment Nov.6 and plan to have him set me up to receive them through the mail. THANK YOU!! very much these are gonna save me on laundry and bed damage due to leakage.This is an A+ product as far as I am concerned, I will recommend it to any one having these issues.

I'm 84 & have 2 knees replaced, a hip with 2 titanium pins & osteoporosis--BUT I am a happy person & am blessed to be here! Just received the sample of Silhouettes which made me feel like a "lady" again. I know they are expensive & I am a widow so here is how I get around it. Each time I pee after I wipe myself I slip three Kleenex into the Silhouette. This will probably make lots of $$$ for Kleenex but I don't like wet pants & understand why babies cry for change. The softness is wonderful & the leg fit is superior to the Depends!!GIVE US COUPONS IN EVERY PACK TO HELP OLE FOLKS-THX

I like Silhouette but I need extra small.
It would help if the legs were tighter.
I have stomach cancer (80% stomach removed).
I have dumping syndrome.(fecal incontinence)
Thanks for the samples.
I had already been using Silhouettes.
I very good improvement.
Would be better with my suggestions.

When I DID have insurance, I asked for one and my doctor said no.
She wouldn't even examine my colon maybe because I don't fall into the stereotype of the older male patient who get VIP treatment. . . Anyway, lately I see little drops of blood from my behind and things just don't feel right back there, plus I have a family history of colon cancer. I currently no longer have health insurance. Can I just walk into a hospital and request a colon cleanse and if so how much out of pocket would it cost?.

Thanks for the samples and the coupon. I felt comfortable wearing the med/sm size panties and even bought a box. Love the new Depend Silhouette but not the price, so I will continue with the store brands.
Posted by: Rose Herrera | 29 July 2012 at 04:50
Thanks for the sample.They are improved,but need more work.They are still to large and bulky.The waist is to high.I like the feel of them. I will use the coupon and try a box.
Posted by: Wanda Snyder | 20 July 2012 at 22:32
a wonderful protective fitting panty. fits better than the tabbed depends.

I recently had surgery, which causes me to be incontinent some more than others. It's the only thing I can wear. They fit much better, and don't itch.
Posted by: Leda | 09 July 2012 at 20:02
HI IM CLARE I LIKE THEM AND THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE BUT I
JUST BUY CHEAP PANTS THANK YOU CLARE
Posted by: CLARE | 23 June 2012 at 21:37
I tried your new product and find them to be to large and much to heavy try making them with panty material with the same pad in them I believe it would be a great seller I find tenet (Sernity) to fit better and are nice and light weight Yours is much to heavyfor the summer months.
Posted by: Mildred S. | 22 June 2012 at 11:48
You have a great product here. I had a surgery that causes me to need a depend now and then. I have very delicate skin and the regular ones would irritate my skin. With the new silhouette the legs do not scratch. Which would also be good for older people in rest homes. You are on a new journy and many people are going to thank you. So thank you keep up the good work
Posted by: carolyn scherini | 22 June 2012 at 10:51
thank you for my samples. will purchase them with sale and coupon,
Posted by: Janice Harris | 16 June 2012 at 18:50
I recieved your samples, and have bought 3 packages since. I like the feel of the Silhouettes, but there seems to be more of an odor when they get wet! I have used the regular Depends for over a year now, and although they are a bit bulky, they do not have the "odor" factor for a few hours!
My biggest fault with the Silhouette is, they are EXPENSIVE!! Like they used to say, back in the day, "They're SUNDAY GO TO MEETING wear!
But please keep working on improvements. Too many of us need your help!!
Posted by: UP TO NOW | 16 June 2012 at 17:57
The new silhouette depend is better at controlling leakage past the elastic leg band than orignal Depend so will switch but only if I can find coupons to bring the price down. I must change pads every 2 hours and silhouettes each day. Am hoping the new Twist Tena pad will hold more fluid. The cost for my incontinence is enormous and I must stock up during sales to last until the next sale at any of the three stores nearby. ..None of the incontinence medications, including most recently Toviaz, controls my incontinence, so I am totally dependent on pads. ...Thanks, Joy

I received your FREE 2-pack of Silhoettes today (1- S/M & 1- L-XL). The only thing I liked about them was the elastic in the legs was improved. They RIP like crazy. I already use your brand which I purchase by the case from COSTCO and really like them (I've seldom had them rip) - but, in my opinion, the Silhouettes aren't up to your normal standards. I wear S/M so the problem had nothing to do with them being too small!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try them; however,I would never buy them!
Posted by: Pat Malone | 06 June 2012 at 21:06
Excellent product,fit good
Posted by: Alice Hicks | 30 May 2012 at 19:57
I tried your new Depend, size L/XL, and I loved them. However, I agree that they are too expensive. Without Coupons, I can't afford them. I have to wear protection every day and sometimes use two or three in a day. I have a VERY fixed income, and I would love to be able to use these all the time, but a box of ten don't last very long. They fix wonderfully and I have less leaks. They are the best I've tried and I will use them some, when I can afford them.

I found t
to be very comfortable. I wear the original all the time,but these are a great improvement. They fit snuggly and are so soft amd smooth. Thank you.
Posted by: Estelle Zsitek | 11 May 2012 at 13:06
I have to agree with Diane; these new "Depends" are not designed for seniors of which I am one. The X/lg is not large enough nor does it retain moisture as required. I have had a colon operation and need protection since I don't know when an accident may occur. These just are not absorbent enough. so please, make something seniors can use!! Keep expermenting and use seniors who are not paper thin!!! Some of us are a bit more endowed!!!
Thank you and have a nice week.

I received a two pack sample of Depend Siloettes, Maximum Protection, a couple days ago, and wore the L/ExL size. They fit and are comfortable to wear. However, I find that they don't aborb moisture like I had hoped! Unlike other reviewers, I didn't purposfully pee my pants! I just wore them like I do the product I normally use. Throughout the day, I 'drip'. The pants did not keep me dry!I currently wear Tena Protective Underwear for Women,and thought Depends might be an alternative, but they don't protect like Tena, so I'll stick with Tena! Thank you for affording me the oppertunity to try your product, though.
Posted by: Glory Albo | 09 May 2012 at 22:36
Thank you so much. They are wonderful.
Posted by: April Reames | 09 May 2012 at 16:14
I recently received my free silhouettes to try. First I agree about the size. Go down one size from what you normally wear as they tend to run big. I think they are very comfortable and for thre type of bladder problem rhat I have they work wonderfully. They are a little pricey though and if the extra cost is just for the peach color...I can live with white. Overall though I do really like them.
Posted by: Pamela Lavallee | 09 May 2012 at 12:46
Your not going to like what I have to say about your new Depends. They are to expensive!!! Yes, thay are confortable and less bulky but the price it to much. At Walmart I have been buying your small depends for $11.98 for 20 pair of pants and if I buy a box of your new pants I have to pay $11.98 for only 12 pair of pants. If your trying to help senior citizens it wont work. Many people have to use more than one pair a day as their bladder problems creates a great flow at a time. My problem is happening every hour with out much warning. So economical I won't be able to enjoy them on my senior fixed income. I hope you can find something for seniors. Thank you. Diane

Thank you for introducing me to a pull up that actually work for me.
It fees as if I have on cotton briefs that provide the protection that I need.
I have actually purchased several boxes for my senior friends who have bladder problems.
You have done a great job on these pull ups.
Again thanks for everything!!

I cannot stop laughing right now. Seriously, my husband is sitting across the room, looking at me like I've got three heads. He keeps asking me if I'm okay, and I'm laughing too hard to answer him.
Thank you so much for this. I cannot even begin to explain how badly I needed to laugh like this after the crappy week I had!
