The best balance

The Depend Shields are too thin and not enough for me, but the old Guards were too much, these new guards are a great balance they are just right. They are also so extremely soft that I don’t even notice them.

Helpful but not exactly useful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked pretty well as intended at a concert. Although I feel like I wish that it held more. Definitely more of a preventative dribble situation rather than a full-blown incontinence solution.

Great way to stay dry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are very comfortable and cool and provide the extra security to keep you from being caught. They pull moisture away quickly for long periods of time.

Poorly designed

The new Depend Men’s shield leaks on sides. The outer barrier is too short and causes brief to get wet. I don’t understand why Manufacturer has to ruin what was a great product. I will definitely look for a replacement that works better.

A dependable choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absorbed any mess very well and was able to be worn without being obvious that i was using it. The product was bot stuffy and was easy to wear without worry of extra heat.

Recent design changes slip and leak!

My husband has been using the Depends maximum protection guards for years. Now the pads are thinner and he is experiencing side leaks and slippage of the pads. We are not happy with the changes to these pads.

Depends Guards are no longer dependable!!

I am a long time user of Depends Guards. The updated version is inadequate for individuals who need significant incontinence protection. They leak easily. I am actively looking for an alternative product.

Great protection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used these for a long trip and it helped with any leakage and they weren’t too bulky like I thought they would be. And they weren’t too comfortable and not irritating to my skin.

No Improvement

I have used this product the guards for men for over 20 years, now it seems you have sacrificed the material less material less absorbency for the same price. I would not recommend the new design.
