Personally, as a woman with potentially both bladder and bowel leakage and menstrual periods still, middle and back, but assuming you would market a unisex product, all of the above. I think I would prefer the rectangular similar to the current large, just wider. Figure 8 would probably work as well, not hourglass with a narrower middle-- that's exactly where women would need the width so anything more than a very minor one-time leak doesn't go spilling off the side. There's a large difference between a 7"x 24" in the current large and a 13''x 26" in the extra large. Both are a bit long for me, but doable, the 24" more than the 26" The middle width between the two would be 10"
I find I can't use the extra large well under a thin fixing pant, without the involuntary folding over as I move throughout a few hours. That size works better under a thick cloth pull on, but then the whole thing is too bulky to fit into my existing clothes and of course, part of the point of using a liner when possible is less bulk. A pull on disposable would be smaller and more comfortable than thick cloth and liner, but then I return to the issues of not being able to change easily while out and having to carry them around. I don't really have personal storage space in my workplace, and generally, liners take up less space in a bag and are more discreet.
Thanks for taking the time to consider this and for asking for further feedback. I appreciate it very much.
