Are There Incontinence Options for Men?

With maturity comes wisdom, and also sometimes incontinence. But there are many incontinence options for men, which can fit different lifestyles and preferences.

Many people wonder, what is the difference between adult briefs and adult underwear? Adult briefs are made like diapers, with tabs on the sides. They're helpful for men with more severe incontinence, since they can be easily changed. Because they're easy to change, they're also helpful for those who are more immobile. Adult briefs offer good protection, and have elastic legs and a contoured fit for security. Their lining is soft and breathable, and designed to wick away moisture and odor. Adult briefs are also slim and discreet. Men who want to live an active lifestyle can do it while wearing adult briefs.

Adult underwear doesn't have tabs, and pulls on like regular underwear. It has an elastic waist and elastic legs. It's designed for moderate incontinence, as it's a little more trouble to change, but many kinds of adult underwear do tear away easily. Like adult briefs, it's soft and breathable, and wicks away odor and wetness. Some adult underwear has a fabric that feels like cotton underwear, and stays comfortable all day. Like adult briefs, it's made to be slim and difficult to notice, and men who want to be active can live normally in adult underwear.

There are also protective pads for men, which are called guards. These are underwear liners for men with only occasional incontinence. They're held in place by adhesive strips. They're absorbent, latex-free, and very easy to change, and they're the least intrusive and most discreet. They're well-liked for these reasons.

Whatever option is chosen, it's important to get the right fit. Adult briefs and adult underwear both come in small, medium, large, and extra-large. Sizes are determined by waist measurement, so men will want to find out their waist size before buying. Guards come in one size fits all.

Incontinence doesn't have to be the end of an active life. With so many options, men can still lead the lifestyle they enjoy.
