I bought these for my daughter because my boss told me about them and about how they'll help to soak up pee when she has an accident so I won't always have to change her shorts along with her undies. They are thicker than normal undies, but they don't really soak up that much more pee. A little bit more, but not a lot more. Therefore, I'm still having to change her shorts if she has an accident. They're good, but they just don't soak up as much of her pee as I thought they would have.
