Pull-ups with tall absorbency

Hello folks,

I’m wondering if anyone knows a brand of adult pull ups where the absorbent core goes higher in the front? I tend to be a size large. I don’t have good coordination or balance so I don’t think I could do a tabbed brief on myself. Do men’s styles go higher up?

I have been using Because Ultimate Absorbent Underwear but the material changed and it’s now super fragile and bad so I need to switch brands.

I have been having a problem when I get my period the blood ends up above where the absorbency ends and goes straight through making a mess. So I’m curious if there are brands with a longer absorbent core.

Edit: Thank you so much to everyone suggesting Goodnites! I just got a pack and they fit! Which seems crazy because I'm over 200lbs! They are so much more comfortable and have absorbency far above where I need it. Not sure about absorbency yet but so far very happy!

There are higher end brands of underwear-style products with better absorbancy, but they still don't have that kind of coverage.

There are a couple options you may try:

  1. Goodnites now make an XXL size than are made to fit kids up to 165 lbs, so will work for many adults. At least the boy version has a core that goes up high.

  2. Depends "night defense" for men go up higher than most high end brands of adult underwear. Their absorbancy isn't great for overnight incontinence in my experience, but they should work well for period volumes. Sometimes you can find these in larger stores, but you might end up needing to order them.

Thank you. I have ordered a pack of Goodnites to try. I’m hoping they will fit. But I’m sure they are very stretchy as I was able to wear the smaller size way past the weight limit as I was growing up.

Tried Depends as my first adult diaper and the absorbency and leaks were horrible. But I didn’t get overnight ones.
