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?

Somebody screwed up!

So disappointed in these new pads that, apparently, replace/phase out 36000 13792 pads. Angry that your newer pads do not meet the "just right" features of the older pad design. I'm miffed that anyone would vote to rule out a product that worked well. I'll be looking for another brand.

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.

Terrible change to product .. go back to original!

Product is more comfortable BUT that's it. Extra width at front is good but too narrow at bottom. Also too short. Needs to go further down. Remember gravity? They are more like a shield for very light leaks. Have used Depend for 5 years but no more. Will throw the rest of my opened 52 pack in the garbage. So long Depend.

Not a improvement

The redesign sucks. It's thin and leaks and is not as absorbent.

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.

Good for the flow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Already took pic of this product. Easy to use and put on. Very easy to move side to side. They absorb well when having an accident. You get a lot for your buck.

New style is not good

I've been using Guards for years. They had been working very well. I recently bought a new stock. The packaging looked different and the package was smaller for the same quantity. The pads are smaller and more prone to leaks. If I can't get the old style, I may need to change brands.

Stays dry and no shows!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These briefs are nothing close to brief! They absorbed so well that I was able to wear them for a lot longer than I thought I would! And when there was wetness, it was quickly whisked away and I still felt dry and fresh. I had no worries of accidental leakage moving around or overnight. They blended well under clothes and I could not even tell I was wearing them. must have for occasional bladder blunders!
