[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the sample pack of Shields & Guards ... I have tried one of each & found they have a good fit and function well. However the Guards absorb a lot of liquid but they're bulky ... the Shield is the most comfortable pad I've ever worn it works great for low leakage times. For me the Ultimate Male Pad design would b one that is half way between the Guard & the Shield. When Depend put my Ultimate design on the market I will be a regular customer.

Like the Depends Shields the coverage area is less than what I feel comfortable with. I have days where something like the shields will do but at times I require more protection like the Guards. On bad days I use feminine overnight pads instead of Guards, not a comfortable fit but gives me confidence that I will not leak passed the pad as it covers much more area. This product is supposed to let you forget about our leakage issue and go about our daily routine. This product gets me about 3/4 of the way there. I have had leakage beyond the pad on more than one occasion with the Guards, luckily I work close to home so I was able to go home to change. This product needs to be wider and longer by 3 or 4 inches. Not to be all negative, the product works as advertised. Even with the coverage issue this product is very useful.

I have tried these and the shields and have not found them to fit very well. They just dont seem to be made for mens briefs to wide at the top glue in wrong place and they bunch up at the bottom. I tried the womens version poise and found them a better fit and a lot cheaper which I think is not right the ladies are so much less than mens Just not a good fit and would be more than will to help them redesign

this product was and very helpful im a guard that works overnight and when my shift is over it,s a long wait for the morning train and no restrooms are around to use untell your train comes in this helped a lot if train is late, thank you for a great product

I actually buy this product for my 13 year old male beagle. As he has aged, he has some incontinence issues. He is on medication which helps, but does not completely take care of his issues. I have tried a lot of other products and found that this one, the Depends guards for Men works GREAT. I insert the pad into a cloth diaper for him and it works great. (I am a 32 year old female who buys a male incontinent product for my dog. :) )

I had a little more than moderate leakage after my radical prostatectomy surgery 2 years ago and had to use the Depend Guards for about a year. The guards were very comfortable and the absorption rate was terrific, I never had a accident outside of the pad. After a year I was able to downsize to the Depends Shields and I found that the shields had equal quality and absorption value as the Guards. Depends has a great product that work best for me.

The new design is NOT an improvement. I went to many stores to find the older style. The new design leak on the sides, not as absorbent , leakage along fold lines. I am very dissatisfied since I have to wear these 24/7. Looking for a different brand. :-(

I love this product. I use it for larger surges. And I would recommend this to anyone that has this problem. This is day and night for me but I do not recommend these for night time use( they leak). I am thinking about switching for night time and I thing I will use Real-Fit. P.S. They are a little bulky on me but discreet

I do not like the new Guards at all. They are less absorbent and require me to use 5 guards a day where I was using 2 before. I have been using your product for 17 years and was very pleased with it. The new guards are a big disappointment. You have downgraded the efficiency that I always depended on. I have a large supply of these guards on hand at the moment. Hope you will go back to the old guards real soon. I will keep trying to find a replacement for the future, as I can not "DEPEND" on your brand anymore. I will be watching your Ads to see if you have changed the product back to the original. Hope it will be real soon.

If you enjoy changing frequently, having urine run down your legs, wetting your pants, spending 2X as much as you should,... then yes use these. However, if you don't like the forementioned stuff, then look to other brands. I had a prostectomy 2 years ago and it left me severely incontinent. These pads hold half as much as others and cost 2X as much! Pure marketing selling inferior rubbish.
