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 better.

Much less protection. Not an improvement. Depends for men were more expensive than others, but worth it. Now they might work for others, but not me. I need the original design. I'm changing to the cheaper store brands. Personally, I will probably not buy depends brand even if they change back. Too bad.

[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

A good product ruined

I have been using Depends Guard for over 20 years. Many times they were improved and each improvement made them better. However, this latest change has ruined a wonderful product. They leak on the sides regardless of how you position them. Please bring back the reliable older product.

Inferior to previous version

The product is inferior to previous version. I'll be looking for an alternative. They leak big time. Really disappointed. Not nearly as absorbent as previous version. Much thinner to.

New design is terrible

I hate the new design. I am buying generic knockoff pads instead. Depend had a great product and destroyed it. New Coke anyone? The “new and improved” guards should have been marketed as an entirely different product.

Worse than the previous version!!

The new version does not have enough structure to stay cupped and causes significant leaks. Please bring back the previous version. You had the best and now you may have the worse product. How did a faulty design get released?

New design is seriously flawed -- Bad choice

this is not an improvement They don't fit as well and causes leakage. Very very disappointing to have relied on a product post surgery for over 10 years and then have it changed for the worse not the better is terrible

New Fresh Protection Guards Disappoint

Very disappointed in the new Fresh Protection guards. They are no where near as absorbent as the previous product. Combined with the smaller size they just don't offer the same level of protection. Been using Depend Guards for years. Now have to look for alternatives.

New and Improved disaster.

I have been using Depends Men Guards for 33 years with total satisfaction. This new design and protection are a total failure. I am using 2 and 3 times more pads in addition experiencing greater leakage. Why did you try to fix what isn't broken?????
