Depend Shields

Recovering from “nerve-sparing robotic” prostate surgery done 11-months ago at MD Anderson. Immediately after surgery, I used the full men’s diapers. After a month or two of doing 100 or so kegel excercises a day, I got out of the diapers and converted to heavy pads. The pads were great and saved me a lot of embarrassment and were so much more comfortable than the diapers. I kept doing my kegel exercises and converted to these shields 2 months ago. I loved them. They were GREAT. I kept doing my Kegels and now I do not wear anything. No pads at all!!!These light pads were a godsend. It is like I was not wearing anything. I could wear “protection” but not really be aware of it.I bought several types of light protection on the same day once I was ready to convert to a lighter pad. These were the best designed for me. I really like the good solid glue that they use so the pad stays in place. It is VERY thin and I often had to feel myself twice to make sure I have not forgotten to put one on!! This are not right for you unless you only have a few drops of urine a day or one small spurt!!!When I go out for a business meeting, I often tuck one in my back pocket but other than that, they stay in the bathroom cabinets.WITH REGARD TO KEGELS: I think statistics say most men (60+%) fail to do their Kegel excercises regularly and, as a result, remain incontinent for years. I saw myself fall into the same trap. I got into a routine where I stopped doing them and my incontience persisted. So to help me remember, I downloaded an app on my IPHONE called CHIME from the App Store. I set it to chime every hour, on the hour. This chime would call me to action. I would then pick up my IPhone and set it to the STOPWATCH function, sit on my couch and do the excercises for an hour every morning while catching up on the news and then I would do 5-15 minutes of Kegels every hour when I heard the chime. (I have the app set to chime every hr from 9am to 9pm.) I would watch the news while holding the IPHONE stopwatch prominently in my field of view. I would hold the muscles tight for 10 sec, then release for 10 sec, then repeat, repeat, repeat for 30-min to 1-hr. I would also do them numerous times thruout the day.When driving, I would also be doing Kegels while at red lights. I used the redlight as a clue to do a few excercises. This CHIME app reminder gave me rapid progress wrt the incontinence. My pelvic flood muscles would sometimes be sore. After a while, I started ignoring the chime and fell back into old patterns of no Kegels. So I set the CHIME app to announce the actual hour, “one o’clock, two o’clock, etc. That caught my attention and I was more consistent. Today, I do not wear any pads at all! Good luck out there. Now, if prostate cancer was just that easy to fix...

I had major surgery about a year ago - causing leakage problems. My urologist said that this problem would eventually subside between one and two years. So, I invested in Depends Shields to avoid any concerns or embarrassment. It has been over a year and I am at the point where I will no longer need to wear this product and my main reason for writing this review is that through this entire deal, these shields worked PERFECTLY! No issues, no feeling of bulkiness, complete absorbency, etc. A little pricey - but definitely worth it.

I wear jockey shorts and the shields insert easily and stay in place. They are thin and I can't even tell they are there. They take up occasional little leaks completely. So far nothing has escaped beyond or out of a shield. A great product.

works okay

Good product, works well, I have tried putting it in my underwear both directions, they both work fine. These are good for minor dribbles as you get older to avoid urine smell in your underwear and also it leaking into your pants. Great while traveling too, because it keeps things cleaner. Would recommend and have been using them now over a year.

As a first time user I'm very satisfied with this product.

Best other retailers by $3. And quantity is much more .

These pads are very discreet and have an adhesive so it sticks to your underwear but not skin. I'm 57 and never thought I would need these but they work very good. Small enough to fit in your bag or briefcase. They also come in a plain box so if your nervous about someone seeing them don't be. I am really satisfied with these and would recommend.
