Incontinence guards for men: getting the fit right

Incontinence guards for men rely on close contact with the body, so they are made for briefs or boxer briefs. Depend notes that its guards are not suitable for boxer shorts. If you prefer looser underwear, or leaks are heavier, protective underwear may suit better.

Men's protective underwear

For heavier leaks, pull-up styles replace your underwear altogether. TENA Men Protective Underwear Level 4 is described by the maker as its most absorbent men's underwear, for heavy incontinence day and night. TENA Men Pant Active Fit Plus in navy comes in medium and large. Depend Real Fit for Men includes heavy absorbency, Night Defence and 16-pack value packs. Dailee Pants Plus For Men, in blue, has quick-tear sides for easy removal, and MoliCare Premium MEN PANTS round out the range. Unisex options are in incontinence pants, and all types are on the Adult Continence page.

Bladder changes and the prostate

Many men notice bladder symptoms as they age that could be linked to changes in the prostate gland, and for some these changes lead to leaking. Continence Health Australia's guide to prostate and bladder control lists signs worth raising with a GP or pelvic health physiotherapist, such as leaking a little after finishing on the toilet. Our article on types of urinary incontinence covers other common causes. Pads manage leaks but do not treat the cause, so it is worth getting new or changing symptoms checked.
