when I tried the Equaline brief, which I think was in 2006, or 2007, they were similar to Assurance briefs but not exactly the same. The padding isn't figure 8 shaped, just a straight pad shaped like a rectangular. There is a back and front waistband, and 3 white tapes. The outer plastic is white and VERY crinkly and stiff, way more then depends.
I never tried the SavOn brand, but I'm guessing they're similar. Feel free to ask any questions.
