Depend FIT-FLEX Incontinence Underwear for Men, Maximum Absorbency, Disposable, S/M, Grey, (Packaging May Vary), 30 Count (Pack of 3)

I purchase these disposable pull up underwear for a close 62 year old male friend who suffers from prostate cancer. He was diagnosed as being stage 4 and chose 1 of the surgery options that were recommended by his doctors. While the cancer is under control his bladder control is not. The doctors are still optimistic that the control will come back. In the mean time no one prepared him and he admits he never gave a thought about needing incontinence garments. His savings depleted and urinating night and day, much more than he ever had before the surgery he was in some really expensive trouble. I asked about this type of situation at the senior center and they told me how desperate those with incontinence become and there is little assistance available to them. I am older than he is and on a budget myself. I know how I would feel if I had urine running down my legs, no money and was staying at home all the time because I smelled like urine. I have been spending $200.00 a month out of my personal savings to help keep my friend dry. I have been buying Depend FIT-FLEX Incontinence Underwear for Men, Maximum Absorbency, Disposable, X-Large, Grey, 48 Count here on Amazon for my friend. It is reasonably priced, absorbent and fits snugly around the thighs preventing leakage most of the time. My friend reports back to me that he wear these when he goes out to the grocery or a short visit to a friends. He likes them because he feels safe when he wears them. They don't make noise and basically don't leave noticeable lines. He cautions that you got to treat them with care and not yank them on stretching them out of shape. Because of the cost he only wears them to bed or when he goes to the doctors and wants to make sure he isn't embarrassed because they leaked and wet his outer pants. Laundering clothing is expensive especially because he has to use coin-op machines. Laundry, another expense that he was not prepared for. He recommends for you to try to remember not to yank them on and stretch them out of shape. Those 'dressing stick aids' used to pull up underwear or pants can put a hole in the underwear and tear the paper. Like he says 'after all they are paper and they will stretch and tear just like most of the products do some time or another'. I purchase them here on Amazon because they have the best deal and quick to ship them. He cautions you to remember to take a spare or two with you when you go out just to be safe and you do have a good time.

These things hold a ton of poop (not literally, but you get what I mean). I can poop in one pair for 2 or 3 days and they really hold in the smell until they get so full that it oozes out the sides. Then I just go in the back yard, drop them on the ground, hose myself off and then jump into a fresh one. This uses way less water than using the toilet, which is just another environmentally friendly benefit. The neighbors complained some, but I just installed a privacy fence and solved that problem, but be aware that sometimes neighbors just love to find any reason to complain. A bonus is, these underpants grind up really well with my Cub Cadet riding mower which keeps the lawn fertilized at the same time I mow. I'm killing multiple birds with one stone--saving time and not missing TV shows by going to the toilet, saving water AND the planet, and fertilizing the lawn while I mow. I think this is what people mean by the phrase "game changer." What a time to be alive.

I use 3 Depends per day. I can feel in the early afternoon that it is full and needs to be changed. Therefore, I use one in the morning, one at midday and the last one at night. Absorbancy and resistance to leakage are very important to me. The Depends do well in both categories. I used to buy the RiteAid store brand until they changed and the new style briefs did not work at all. I switched to Depends which serve me OK. Depends keeps threatening to upgrade their product which concerns me a lot for fear that they will cheapen it so that it will no longer do the job. Depends give me a good 4 hours between changes which is enough to get through the day. They will leak if I let them go too long but if I change properly, they are quite satisfactory.

Have used this style Depends for about 1 ½ years, purchased locally in smaller quantities, in the prior sizing of L/XL. When I purchased latest order thru Amazon the change to XL had not yet been posted in the product info, so I was surprised to see the size change when I opened the carton, but the new XL sizing fit me just fine. However, there may be manufacturing problems stemming from the changeover. When I put on the first unit out of the box the right side seam came apart and the item couldn't be used. In the 2-3 weeks I've been using the newest order I haven't again experienced that problem, so it may have been a changeover aberation; if it reoccurs I'll try to update this review. Secondly, there may be a problem with the absorbent lining coming loose, which I've experience 3-4 times, but I'm not sure if this is a defect or a change in product design. The current product info contains this phrase: 'Maximum absorbency, disposable underwear trap and lock in odor..." I'm not sure what is meant by "disposable underwear trap," perhaps that is the "absorbent lining coming loose" that I refer to above. I intend to reorder this product and continue to use the style, and as I said, I'll try to update this review as I gain more experience with the current product.

I buy these for my father monthly. We tried different brands and different styles and each time my father would ask for these. He said he'd loves how they fit, they are very comfortable and feel more like underwear then any of the others he has tried. Even when he doesn't really need them he wears them instead of his underwear because he likes how they feel on, they aren't tight or restrictive and they give him the reassurance for that just in case situation. I have them as a subscribe and save because they have become a staple item for him. Even when he had to go into a nursing facility for awhile, he refused diapers and only wanted these, so I had Amazon deliver directly to the facility. He never has had any issue with leakage and he said it absorbs a lot. They are decently priced compared to others and aren't as expensive as some we had come across. He highly recommends them.

I am a woman, but I heard these men's...uh...undies, had better rear coverage. Most of the women's (Pull-Up) briefs are about four to six inches wide in the back. What grown @$$ woman has a bum that is four to six inches wide? These men's (Pull-Up) briefs are actually appropriately bum-sized. At least, appropriately bum-sized for women. Like actual women's briefs. I don't know what men's briefs are like, but I know all five or six of the women's "brief-like full coverage" Pull-Ups I have tried are STUPID narrow. They do, unfortunately, make a swooshy sound when you walk. That's not really cool. I don't like the idea that people within hearing distance of me are wondering whether or not I am wearing a Pull-Up. I know I really shouldn't mind, and neither should you.

I had to have my prostate removed and wasn't sure what to expect post surgery. I ordered these about a month before surgery so I wouldn't be surprised or shocked in case they were different than what my imagination had cooked up they would be like. I tried them on prior to the surgery and they were form fitting, not bulky and this helped remove one of my fears about having to have this procedure. After the procedure I needed them for about 3 months to make sure I was able to regain control. I cannot stress that this product was really a life saver for me and removed a mental stumbling block that was worried about. If you're going to have your prostate removed these are a great solution while you recover your control.

Really don't like the pop-up in the five-star rating: "I love it." Look, if you need this, you need it. I have not tried other brands yet and am new to the need, post-surgery, but for all the annoyances of this new feature to my lifestyle: these do not leak, even when pretty well "loaded" and fit well under clothes, the bulk being in crotch area, not body. They also try to stay drier next to your body, wick liquid away, but let's face it: they are wet and enclosed. I have a latex/rubber allergy so apparently the "elastic" does not contain these as I have had no problem with that, over a couple of months now. Consider shopping for pants on Duluth Trading Company. Their "ballroom" jeans are just the thing for a little extra room. Also, am finding these keep a pretty good seal around body even when doing their job.

Bought it for my dad he has no comment guess they are OK

This product fits a specific need well. It performs well on very long motorcycle rides and has little interference with one's activities.

great product

These were used by my dad and he was happy and not embarrassed by wearing them. They worked, helping him stay dry when he just could not make it to the bathroom. He felt confident again with these. They are more like everyday underwear, they do not make a plastic sound when you walk or bunch up.

Ce produit m'apparaît excellent, autant en ce qui concerne sa qualité dans son rapport avec le prix que le confort qu'offre ce produit
