TENA Men Maximum Guard Incontinence Pad for Men, Maximum Absorbency, 8" - Pack of 20

Works great for light days

I originally bought Depends Guards but they were really abrasive and uncomfortable so I threw them in the garbage and figured I would try these. These are very comfortable to wear all day.

Finally, no more wet spots on my pants and feeling wet and embarrassed.

First time trying, better than shields

happy with the amount of liquid they will hold in an emergency, the only drawback for me is I wish there was adhesive on the flaps also.

Used before went to another brand and found this product far superior

This product is difficult to come by as the TENA site keeps changing the products and takes forever to get. This is the level my husband prefer. We received it promptly and feel it is well-priced for the value.

Great

Ok for someone who never writes reviews I felt like I needed to this time. Long story short I had prostate cancer in 2012 and have had bladder issues after radiation ever since. Not bad but needed a fix as anyone that has an issue will tell you. The first thing I tried was depends underwear. They worked but overkill , expensive, and for me and was a little embarrassing around my girlfriend. I then tried depends pads and they worked but they were bulky and agin maybe overkill and they leaked out the sides. Then switched to depends thin pads, easy to pack on trips but they leaked out the sides and I felt like I needed just a little more maybe somewhere in the middle between the light and heavier pads but with some of leak protection on the sides. Depends had no options here. Thats when I discovered these. Perfect pad size, small flaps on the side so there is no side leakage and they keep me dry all day. I would give these for my situation 5 stars! They are the perfect all around protection without going overboard and they are also easy to pack on trips. Will continue with these absolutely! You can carry extra ones on those days if needed in case of accidents.

Easy to use, and very comfortable. Have not had any skin irritation issues and I did with the little pads the urologist folks sent me home with. Makes me wonder why they would not hand these out that are designed for men. I�d definitely be suggesting it to them in my follow up appointments!

I�ve been using these TENA Men Protective Guards for a while now, and they�ve been very dependable. The absorbency is solid, even for longer days, and they stay in place without bunching or shifting. They�re comfortable enough to forget you�re wearing them and discreet under regular clothing. I also appreciate that they don�t feel bulky or noisy. Overall, they provide peace of mind and do exactly what they�re designed to do.

As others have said the �wing� could use some adhesive to keep it from rolling down. They absorb really well. I bought this double sided tape for the wings and it works really well.https://a.co/d/cTrZUo6

These are ideal for men perhaps several months after surgery, when your leakage is low, as they are less bulky and obviously absorb less liguid than TENA's heavier grade pads, which were very useful right after surgery, when you might have leaked a cup of urine a day.***Practicing Kegels before surgery, then doing you Kegels often each day, starting a week or so after the surgery, REALLY helps with a quicker recovery!!When you heal and recover to where you only have one to a few unexpected small "spurts" a day, then this thinner TENA pad could be ideal for you.TENA's in general are very absorbent compared to other brands I've tried, comparing same thickness, and they hide any odor of urine well for hours. The have a better "wicking' material, that's why.The slightly higher price for them, compared to the cheaper pads sold at "big box" stores is well worth the difference, as a thinner TENA is a lot more comfortable than a less tailored, less aborbent, and bulkier cheaper brand.The fit is much better for me than, say, *Depends, and that brand difference totally depends on just how a particular pad conforms to your body/underwear. Some folks prefer the *Depends fit.Price matters more for some folks, too.Your mileage may vary.Try different brands and see. I bought some pads from different brands, that happened to be donated to a Goodwill store, to compare them, and not waste much money doing so.By the time 6-12 months pass after surgery, most men "should" have little need of a pad. Even with the same surgeon, the time until you are'"dry" every day will vary by months for their patients.Shop around for surgeons, overall, some surgeons just have better technique than others.Get an "A" surgeon, and not a 'C" grade surgeon!Some days I'm "dry" and can wear the dry pad for 2-3 days before it gets wet. That's when a pad's adhesive is really tested!I'm also almost a year past surgery, so I hope to not "need" any pads in the future, yet I'll still have one on, "just in case" if I'm in public, and can't get to a bathroom for hours-as when your more "full" bladder is most likely to sneak out a "spurt".Solution-don't drink a lot of fluids for 2 hours before an event, and pee just when you get to an event, even when you don't feel like you need to! I'm 5'10' and 220 lbs, and the pad is too wide at the top and rubs on me, so I cut it roughly in half, horizontally and use the smaller, narrower bottom half only, and that is a better fit and feel for me through the day-the rubbing on the side and top used to drive me crazy when I walked.Maybe the whole pad is the right size/ fit for you.I learned that talking to other men after surgery, and looking on forums, that their daily urine leakage lessened as their body learned to "hold it in" especially while laughing, or suddenly standing up. (Go Kegels!)Fortunately , their need for pad size and thickness definitely changed to "smaller and thinner" with time, as things improved.Cons: The adhesive strip is at best mediocre. They've got to up their game on making this "stickier." One star off.

Was disappointed as they are so wide and bulky to wear with my underwear.

Weird, huh? I have recently found that these pads work better for me if I wear them upside-down! I'm 77 years old and my penis is not what it used to be (shorter). As a result, I don't need a lot of coverage up top, but I do need more down below. So I wear them upside down! I place the narrow end up top. Then I take the "wings" as I call them and tuck then down inside the legs of my boxer briefs. It's very comfortable and more effective for me. Absorption is still not great, but better than wearing it "right-side-up".

Not as good as depends for me. doesn't seem to be as heavy as Depend Brand and for maximum protection pad That is disappointing. Doesnt absorb as fast either. As a 61-year-old man with chronic kidney disease using a pad lets me be active and about without fear of embarrassment (though I do not get embarrassed by natural things. But it sure beats changing my underwear 5 times a day. Depends works for me these didn't. Could be my build. but using the same briefs the depends just worked so quick. No worries. These could be a 4 for someone who just wants a little protection. But the absorb QUALITIES ARE A LOT DIFFERENT THEN DEPENDS. And the Depends brand are somewhat cheaper than the sale price of these. Loads cheaper than the non-sale price of Amazon, at Walmart stores. I always comparison shop. Im stuck with 3 packages 1 of them opened. If I can get away eventually from drinking outrageous amounts of fluids for kidneys I can use these for just a few drops. But for a larger volume they just don't absorb. If you try the tena brand might want to go with a lot less quantity, then the 3 pack..

Well, I never thought I would be leaving a review for something like this, but here I am!As a man of 60, who is very active and loves to hike and walk long miles everyday, long drives, etc. these have really been incredibly helpful and life affirming. Okay, this will sound strange: I may not end up �using� them every time I am on a hike, but they give me that extra confidence and let me not be embarrassed if I am out with a group of friends or on a steep run and I can concentrate on safety and my surroundings.Our bodies are machines and sometimes we just need a little extra help as things wear out a bit.I have tried various other brands and forms of these prior and have found these to be perfect. Comfortable, absorbent and not too bulky and sticks well to undergarment. Nicely designed for men, appreciated!Not noticeable at all under my workout gear. Looks great under a nice pair of jeans, just a little oomph ;)So there you go! Embrace being human guys, no shame and enjoy getting out in this world.
