Absorbent Product Design

Do manufacturers and resellers of absorbent incontinence products ever participate in forums such as these? If so they might learn a thing or two about helpful design elements to their products.

For example, recently I decided to try a different brand of a more absorbent beltless undergarment. The product was shrink-wrapped (dontcha hate shrink wrap sometimes) very compactly in several bags of 12 pieces rather than a more convenient 24 or 30 etc. Then each liner has a front to back adhesive strip which is mostly helpful for fitting inside of regular underclothing.

However, it seems best to leave some of the strip intact to avoid clumping or separating. What's more, if you pull out several of them to pack bags to get ready for travel, the adhesive tends to make a bunch of them stick together when you remove several from the bag, sometimes pulling the material apart slightly.

All in all, they arrive in a rather large two box order and will last me awhile. But heck maybe some of us could get a discount or something as product R&D testers.  Anyway, just had to vent a bit. Happy New Year to everyone in our healthcentral.com community!
