New Redesign is Terrible

The new redesign is terrible. It is way too thin and way to narrow at the bottom. I've been using the Fresh Protection Guards for over ten years and almost never had to change underwear. Now with your new product I have to sometime three times a day. Please go back to the old design. Until you do, it looks like I will have to switch to the store brand which uses a design similar to your old one.

Unteneable

The redesign has been an absolute nightmare for me. Whatever that thin bottom is just a terrible design. The new one doesn't have the cupping of the previous design it doesn't keep things in place.and is just so uncomfortable And it doesn't serve it's purpose and leaks so easily. I was hoping I just bought the wrong ones. I'm having to stay home because of the new design. I have no confidence that I can go anywhere for any lengrh of time and have to search for an alternatibe product. Something I rarely had to think about, is impacting my life. So dissapointed and upset. This has impacted the quality of my life.

New version is horrible! Listen to your customer!

Whoever designed these has obviously never had to wear them. The old design wasn't perfect either, but theh were thicker and because they were thicker it allowed the male "anatomy" to sort of form a pocket that kept said anatomy situated in the center of the pad. The new ones are thin. Because they are thin, they allow for too much movement. There are times when I find that my manhood has moved to the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position and the business end may be completely missing the pad. Also, the adhesive is not as strong verses the old version. Maybe if the wings on the new ones had adhesive it would be better. The wings tend to get scrunched up towards the center of the pad. Also, if the new pads had some type of pocket formed into them in the center to keep things in place. If you listen to your customers and take the advice of people who have to live with your product everyday, you might be able to produce the best incontinence pad on the planet. So far you have gone backwards from mediocre design to a horrible design.

Updated version not good

I cannot recommend. The new revised design is thinner and I found it leaked very soon after putting it on. The old design was much more effective.

New and improved is not improved

This is a new and improved product in. It leaks when you bend over. The previous product was superior which I've been using for years.

New Depends Shield
1 out of 5 stars review

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.

Not likeing the new Guards

My husband does NOT like the new Depends Guards. He has been using them for 20 plus years & now you try to improve on them & only make them worse. They leak & don't fit like the old ones.

Reliable, discreet, all‑day protection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Depend Men Fresh Protection Guards deliver exactly what they promise: reliable, discreet, all‑day protection that actually keeps up with real life. The absorbency is impressive — the DryShield‑style core (used across the Fresh Protection line) absorbs quickly and locks moisture away so you don't feel damp or worried about leaks. Odor control is also solid, which makes a huge difference for confidence during long days. The fit is one of the standout features. The guard stays securely in place without shifting, bunching, or feeling bulky. It's shaped specifically for men, so it feels natural and unobtrusive under regular clothing. Whether you're active, working, or just going about your day, it stays comfortable and dependable. Overall, these guards strike the right balance between comfort, protection, and discretion. If you're looking for something that works quietly in the background so you can focus on your day instead of worrying about leaks, Depend Men Fresh Protection Guards are a strong choice.

Very comfy and absorbent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're at the age where it gets harder to control your self when you have to go potty, or Mabey you just have some medical issues that require some extra support. Well these are the way to go they absorb and hold so much all while not giving off a horrible smell once full. And don't worry about leaking these will hold a good amount of liquids before anything seeps through and if your looking some to wear without it being noticed these are great they are think lined so no bulging lines or anything that gives indication your wearing one.
