Incontinence pull-ups suggestions?

My MIL is very curvy on the bottom and is currently using Walmart's Equate Assurance for her incontinence pullup of choice. We’re going to the doctor today for her Medicaid wellness check and I intend on asking for an Rx for her pullups for Medicaid to cover. The problem is, I'm unsure if we can get the same brand since I buy them straight from Walmart and I haven’t seen them as an offering on DME websites.
What are the best pull-up style incontinence diapers for curvy bottom ladies? If anyone happens to know what the name brand version of Equate Assurance is, that would be a big bonus.

My aunt ( similar size) uses depends and is very happy with them. I usually get them delivered from Amazon but Walmart carries them.

My mom ( similar size) swore by Tena.

Both of these brands are offered on the medical supply websites. Maybe I should grab some small packs for her to try. I'm unsure about the medicaid ordering process so I would hate to order a month's worth of something she's uncomfortable in.

I looked it up and it says that Walmart owns Equate so its their product. I have no idea how Medicaid works when it comes to paying for briefs. Actually, I have heard of a Medicare check up once a year but have never heard that Medicaid requires it. I have a nephew that receives Medicaid for heath.

It could be Medicare. My SIL usually handles doctors appointments, but she's on vacation so I'm backup running on second hand information.
