Protective Briefs - Smalls

I purchased the protective brief. The brief is clearly very well made and fits to size based on the specifications. I am impressed with how comfortable it is as well as the confidence I have in it despite it being relatively discreet. I was originally skeptical of the concept, but this product definitely proved me wrong. It is a welcome purchase I expect to find value in for years to come.

I'm a fully urinary incontinent woman that's had bladder issues for over 20 years and in diapers 24/7 for five years now. I wish I would have invested in these diapers years ago.

Cloth has been my prefered type of diaper, but I've always been annoyed at changing prefolf cloth diapers through out the day. For years I've been in a megamax diaper during the day and prefold diapers at night.

Thread armor diapers have changed everything about my diaper routine. The protect diaper with two inserts and two stepup inserts is the perfect mega max replacement.

Thread armor diapers are now my go to daytime diaper 99% of the time. Thank you so much for breaking the very expensive disposable diaper bill I've had for year!

I’ve worn disposable tabbed briefs for years because they didn’t stretch or sag. I had issues at night with leaking from the waistband or my wayward Willy positioning itself to stream right past the waist.

These protective briefs are a game changer. They feature a gusset at the back waistband which helps back sleepers or those prone to blowouts.

They also feature a unique leak guard and front waist gusset that help contain for stomach and side sleepers. This design also helps make sure the wayward Willy stays right where it’s supposed to be.

Laundering is a breeze with the snap out liners, if you have a light leak you can even quickly change the liner and keep the same shell. I also appreciate how the liners and inserts come apart so drying time doesn’t take forever!

These are cozy, the flannel leg holes make them wonderfully cozy.

I was on the fence for months because of the cost, but I went right back and bought more.

Pros:
- Quality construction and made with care
- Discreet appearance under clothing (especially without extra inserts), with underwear-like waistband
- Gussets seem larger and sturdier than comparable products, and top gusset is especially nice
- Having both front and back snaps keep inserts securely in place
- Fleece leg elastics are the most comfortable of anything I’ve tried
- Flexible insert system is easy to clean and dry (compared to AIOs or products with thick layers sewn together)
- I love the ability to reach through the whole insert from both sides to stuff it, making it much faster to get the inserts to lay smooth (vs. products with openings on only one side, which are prone to insert bunching)
- ABDL-aware and friendly company

Cons:
- Microfiber inserts seem very prone to compression leaks, especially when sitting
- Absorbency is disappointing compared to premium disposables: these nearly always leak on me within 1–2 hours, even with extra inserts / soaker bombs
- Top jersey layer feels okay, but doesn’t provide quite the same “stay-dry feel” as fleece lining on comparable EcoAble products
- Fixed waistbands mean it’s harder to get a good fit when between sizes (for me, M size is tight in the rise/legs, but L size is loose and droopy in the waist)
- Shell is not ideal as a cover over larger disposables, as leaks may occur outside the gussets (providing no extra protection), plus dye from the disposable’s wetness indicator can leak out and discolor the shell

This is my first purchase of any Threaded Amour product. I have never tried any incontinence product as comfortable as this one. I only wish that I had purchased a slightly smaller size. It would have made it seal much better. Some things that I would like to see improved would like to see a few more snaps to hold the inserts and booster pads in place a little more securely. Thank you for your ingenious product. I do plan on purchasing additional products to meet my needs in the future.
