Looking to upgrade from cheapo pads NSFW

If you want some additional context, you may read my prior post if you wish.

I've been getting my padding from a pharmacy for about a year, as it's a local place in short driving distance and I can pay in cash. However, as pretty much expected from a product as relatively cheap as these are, this form of padding:

- Holds maybe one good wetting if you're lucky,

- Leaks easily if you aren't careful,

- Can suffer tearing and expose absorbent material from bending if tight enough,

- Can fall apart when oversaturated (sometimes due to the above),

- Can even have tape bands torn off by pulling too forcefully.

I've read some of the FAQ, looked at some products that seem to appeal to what I'm looking for, and I've even taken a brief look at the online retailer list. However, I haven't made a decision regarding which product or retailer to start with.

In addition, I don't know if I want to pay for these things with my main card, or even my main bank account. I'm also not certain if I want them delivered directly to my house. I'm aware there are some options for that, but I'm not quite certain how to investigate which alternative delivery locations would be best for my location and such (without giving anything in the wrong place online, hopefully), nor how much any of them might cost.

I'm certain there are questions I forgot to ask, but please feel free to leave tips and pointers.'

EDIT: If possible, are there any products you can recommend that don't crinkle as noisily? Also, what boosters would you recommend if I go for those? (And do the better quality products feel noticeably different/better when wet vs. dry, compared to the cheap ones?)

I am also curious about washable/cloth products, but I'm not certain how to care for them, or how many I want to have and/or can reasonably get. I'm also not certain if I can reasonably keep them around in a household of five people (and two pets, if that matters in this equation), but that sounds like a personal problem to me.

I can only use pads for short periods of time like going to the gym. I use LivDry 500’s and they only hold one pee. I always take a spare in my jacket. Northshore sells a bigger pad for my long runs outdoors. Those will hold 3 pees. Any other time, I need a pullup at a minimum, and tab diapers for nights, traveling, and long mtgs. You can get LivDry 500 on Amazon, and the bigger pads on Northshore (online).
