Read the absorbency word twice
LivDry publishes several Ultra Thin levels across a range of roughly 170–300 mL. The selected ten-count listing is Ultimate. TENA Sensitive Care Ultra Thin Light specifically identifies light absorbency. Comparing their thickness labels without their absorbency labels would match two different shopping needs.

When buying on behalf of someone else, ask what they dislike about their current pad. Thickness, a slipping adhesive strip and insufficient capacity are distinct complaints and need different comparisons.
What the underwear contributes
An adhesive pad needs a stable surface to hold it at the intended point. On a first wear, notice whether it shifts when getting out of a chair or whether an otherwise comfortable pad is too wide for the underwear. A loose garment can change the result regardless of brand.
What customers reported

Our recommendation
Shortlist TENA Light for a light-absorbency requirement. If the stronger LivDry level is the actual requirement, compare it with a corresponding TENA level before making a price-per-pad calculation.
