The brand name of Depends adult diapers can very often conjure up some very negative images when dealing with the problem of incontinence and how it affects so many people’s lives. But these products are meant to help people and not embarrass them or make them feel self-conscious. They all come in one easy to use size. They all have an elastic leg band that fits hips up to 65 inches. They also provide two different methods of strapping them to your body. One is a button and the other a Velcro strap. They are made to help older people in the day-to-day dealing of their incontinence problems.

There is another Depends product that is very useful, especially for dealing with the heavy soiling and urination that comes from incontinence. This adjustable underwear comes in one size and they fit not unlike regular underwear that you would buy in a department store. They are quite comfortable and very easy to use for many people. They also absorb liquid and solids in the center and come with a wetness indicator so that you know when you have to change into clean undergarments.

Another excellent product made by Depends is called Guards for men. They consist of large strips of absorbent material, which stick to the underwear of the man or woman. Mainly, these products are used by men who have problems of urethra leakage and urinary holding functions. They are also used when a man is under the impression that he has in fact emptied his bladder, when in fact, he has not. They are usually worn with tight underwear briefs and are used at the very front of the undergarment.

These same products also come in the form of Depends belted shields. Mainly women use them as they help in controlling large accidents when they directly occur. Placing the shield pad onto the underwear using the sticky backing uses them. If the woman is worried about having a heavy day, she can place what is called an absorbency booster insert on top of the shield pad. For this to work effectively, one must wear the booster insert along with the Depends undergarment.
