Guards vs Protectors vs Men's Pads
Yes. "Guards" and "protectors" are terms commonly used for products designed to help manage male bladder leaks.
Depend® Guards for Men are designed to provide discreet, comfortable protection for bladder leakage. When comparing products, focus on factors such as absorbency, fit and comfort to find the right option for your needs.
Prostate Surgery
Yes. Depend® Guards can help manage light to moderate bladder leakage that may occur during recovery from prostate surgery. They provide discreet, reliable protection while you regain bladder control and return to daily activities.
As bladder leakage becomes lighter and less frequent, you may find Depend® Guards provide the right level of protection. Many men transition from more absorbent Depend® underwear to Depend® Guards as their continence needs change over time.
