Great product for men

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product for the size fitting and wearability. Easy to use and fit right on. It doesnt cause rash to the skin and no leakage is the plus. Totally recommended

Comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable it's good to have them when you need them.You never know when you're going to leak , and I could give them away to a couple of older people that I know

Mens Guards were modified and not as absorbant

Mens Depends Guards were modified and are not as good as original. I have used about half of 52 pkg. and had them leak 4 or 5 times. This did not happen with the original version. The new version is thinner and NOT leak proof. The original version was much better and I didn’t have this issue. I will go back to Assure pads that are not as good as Depends original but much better than the new Depends pads. You need to bring back the original Depends pads.

New is not always better.

I have to agree with most of the reviews,in that the old product was better. I need to change 3-4 times a day with the new ones. Plus they do not stay in place. Maybe the odor control is better. But when the new ones leak it becomes very embarrassing

The Redesigned Depends Guards are AWFUL

I have been using the redesigned Depends Guards for about a week. They are AWFUL. I have experienced frequent leaking. They don't last anywhere near as long as the old style. They are not much better than the Depends Shields. I will be looking for an alternative.

New was not better

I have been using Depend Guards for many years. The new "upgrade" was actually a downgrade in my opinion. Yes they are thinner but the absorbency is not like the old guards. The new pads get saturated quickly. There have been several days that I have had to change the guard mid day to prevent leakage. I will continue to use these guards until I am able to find another company that makes a similar product to the old guards.

Very disapointed

I am very disappointed with the new Depend Men Guards with Max Coverage. They are narrower and less absorbent. I have switched to another brand while waiting for Depend to realize their mistake. Please bring back the previous product: Depend Fresh Protection Guards for Men

Not a good product

The new pads are not good for large surges. The old pads were perfect. I understand that Depends was trying to use technology and make them smaller, but did you really check how well they worked with actual people? So disappointed. I have got to find some better guards somewhere.

Don’t like at all

Number one I bought this product because I’ve been using it for years. I have lost cancer a younger age. Do not like the new pad plus when buying online still shows the original pad. I’m stuck with a whole double box because I didn’t open it in time bought it again opened it. I am returning it. Do not like them. They leak they move. Don’t hold me in place. So I am buying a different brand.
