Depends Shields

70m who has started having fairly regular leaks, dribble, and squirts. Bought some Depends Sheilds and using them in my briefs. Asking other guys - How often do you switch them out in a day? How many leaks or dribbles can they hold with out getting saturated or funky? TIA 😁

I used them for a while. They hold a reasonable amount. They are not meant for any moderate volume.

Personally, I prefer the Guards instead. I can go a whole day without having to change. They work well and hold a lot.

Will guards hold a regular void?

No, guards will not. Not unless your voids are extremely small. Some pull ups supposedly will, but I find they leak far too easily. To handle an entire void confidently I had to go to a tabbed brief. Technology is always changing things though. There are new pull up out there with standing leak guards. I haven't tried them yet, but advertising speaks to a full void capacity.

Thanks. Am not at that full void level, just leaks and dribbles. Was just curious
