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

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

So disappointed

I can't believe the changes made to this product. The quality and dependability are, well just gone There is absolutely no way ANYONE could agree that the changes made improve what was in my opinion a fantastic product that gave me peace of mind . Profit, greed I just don't know

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the D men's guards for 19 years. I use about 5 or 6 per day depending on my activity. I recently purchased the newly designed pads that are supposed to be more absorbent and improved. I feel the wetness on my body in about an hour and completely wet in two hours starting to leak. These new pads require that I use about 10 pads per day and subject myself to more leakage. Will have to switch to generic products after all these years of using Depends

Never buy again.

The new protection guards are terrible. I always used the old ones and they never leaked. The new ones leak all the time out the side. They leak into my underwear every time I wear them and cannot trust them. I bought 2 packs and returned one. the are lighter and do not hold as much as the old ones. I am driving to all the drug stores to see if they have any of the old packaging.

Worthless Redesign

This redesign is terrible. I really don't know where to start. I'm 62 and have been incontinent following prostate surgery for 17 years. Depending on my activity, I go through 1-4 pads a day. I know what I'm talking about. It seems like this was designed by people without male urinary biology and tested by people who are not incontinent. The old design had a pouch with ample sides to redirect urine. These have neither, with a very narrow lower part and no sides to redirect urine. I play golf 2-3x per week. The old design would have a "misdirection" leak caused by hip turn maybe twice a year. These did it within 3 holes - not even 10 swings - soaked underwear and wet stain on pants for the rest of the round. Completely unusable for golf. Further, the very narrow glue strips came off in my underwear 3 out of the first 4 times I used these. These are very narrow use pads that I would only trust while working from home. I don't even trust them to sleep in. Very disappointed because I felt Depend was the best and now I have to find another brand.

Bad changes

The new design and shape do not improved the product. I have used the old pads every since prostate surgery due to incontinence. The old ticket pads were very reliable. The new pads with the narrower, shorter extension between the legs leaks more. I find it interesting that the graphic showed mostly 5 star reviews but in reading the individual reviews, I found that they were almost all 1 star. I found two 3 star and one 5 star reviews. There fine print said they were incentivized by getting"free product". Basically it appears that the good reviews were bought by the company. I will be looking for better products. The automated assistant is not very original. Each response essentially says the same thing. AI is not a good image. Good luck trying to sell this "product".

Changed product is colossal mistake

Not recommended. As a 4.5-year user of Depend Guards, the new design is significantly inferior and disappointing. Each pad is 10 grams lighter with a new ineffective shape that promotes side leaks. Given that the retail price has not changed, this so-called “new and improved” product looks more like a flawed cost reduction project that insults its loyal, longtime customer base. Rating is actually zero stars. I'm out.

What a Disappointment!

I just received a new shipment of these Men's Guards. What a disappointment, the new design must have been prompted to enhance profits. These smaller, thinner, and less material "guards" are totally inferior to the design I've been using for 6 years. Please send communication when the old design is produced again. Thanks for thinking about the users first:(!

Not new or improved

I've relied on Depends for many years. The “improved” version is definitely NOT an improvement for the consumer. They are more prone to leakage and less absorbent than the older version but at the same price. Because they have so much less absorbent material , they are more comfortable but they do not serve their intended purpose. I will be looking for alternatives.
