My hubby is 38 has large prosate. Refuses to wear a diaper. Is this a good item he can wear to stop him from wetting his undies

I only used the Wiesner clamp a few times, for two reasons. 1) Due to the design of the lower pad support, I could keep it on only about 3 hours. After that it became painful. 2) one time my normal movements caused the clamp to tighten up to a painful and probably dangerous level. I believe these problems can be fixed, but it will take some time and experimentation. I have switched to Dribblestop, which works well after you learn how to set it's size properly. I could write a pamphlet about that, but it was worth the trouble of figuring out how to use it.

It works good. Can be a bit uncomfortable at Times. Very easy to put on and take off. It is the best item I have used.

Cunningham clamps work well. My husband had prostate cancer an had prostatectomy in April. For him to work he must wear one to stop leaking. Also keigle exercises are best!

It works really well. I'm older and have had prostate surgery--very pleased with this. The "men's pads" not a full depends helps with confidence also!

As long as they have on an elastic waistband or onesie, I don't think it's a problem. My daughter is 1-1/2 now and still wears it at night. As long as you put the diaper on tight enough, it stays put. I rarely took hers off during the first year...and she was walking at 9 months and super active. I've even heard some people that have put it on the side or back of the diaper.

you could use it just as well, the waterproof is only on the top side but so far I find it works well with a dementia spouse. It does not make a noise and seems comfortable enough.

It's not necessary, but if you're using the diaper for urinary incontinence, it will keep him drier and help to keep the fluid inside the diaper. If you're using it for fecal incontinence, I wouldn't necessarily bother, though it wouldn'thurt.

My son hasn't ever wet so much that he's leaked around the diapers before we changed him. The covering is machine washable, so we can throw that in the wash, but when he was really young, we didn't buckle him in, as he was really small and tucked so far down the "bucket" of the seat. We covered that area with a folded hospital receiving blanket, so he wasn't sitting directly on a hard buckle. I suppose you could put one of those down around the bottom area if you're concerned.

They are thicker than disposable diapers and little leggings or tighter pants can become snug. Being a grandmother who used cloth diapers years ago, I don't see that as a problem

These diapers are great for urine, possibly bowels too. They have a thin lining so you have to supplement the diaper with a pad to absorb the liquid. We have not used them for bowels yet, but I'm sure they would do ok. I get the mens Depend pads and stick them to the inside for pee problems for our 15 year old Boxer/Rot. They have the cupped shape and fit well. 2 or more diapers are good for interchanging during washing, especially if you are dealing with poo a lot. Good luck!

My son was wearing depends, he had to wear underwear. First few nights are pretty wet so be prepared for it! My son still leaks a bit but its not as much and has so many dry nights for the first time in 14 years! It is worth the changing the bedding often... I promise!!!! Just click it on underwear and unit on shirt or side of pillow and it will wake them.

The more nuanced answer is that it depends on amount and liquidity. It's true that tape-on briefs (diapers) will have greater coverage and will offer better protection. Diapers with standing leak guards will be even better, but if the release is small, these might actually do what you need. But it's also true that these really are more designed for urinary incontinence, and the pad's positioning and size reflect that.

I dont think so because the adult depends diaper is thick.i have been using this product ever since my baby was born.my baby is in size 3 diaper.one thing that I dont like about this product is the section that u put the wet wipes, it drys up all the wipes.

My old dog has hard time controlling a bowel movement so I can't say that it deters anything. Diaper always contains the bowel content.l

With proper sizing, the abdominal support was in a good location for support (from my experience). The closures are pretty easy to connect and disconnect, so you shouldn't have any issues, if you chose to remove for urination purposes. I also found this easy to clean by popping it into the wash with other items and letting it air dry. I hope this helps!

Well, my husband is twice his age, but the option was his to wear the depends. To me, they just look like underwear, especially the real fit blues and grays. Good luck and God Bless you both.

we used these for my dad, the extra large fit great, but we found the tabs weren't as useful as we had hoped and went w the ones that looked more like real underwear, much better for him, a wheelchair bound 90 yr old w dementia. and my mother could use and change them better. hope this helps

My daughter is almost 5 months old and 15 pounds. While i have been using this diaper since she was about 10 pounds,and loving it, we use it exclusively for night time as i still find it too bulky for daytime after snapping it down to fit her. I imagine this will change when she is bigger. We use it with a disana wool cover and this has been a bulketproof night time system. I have also used it with a blueberry one size snap cover and it worked great also. I cannot say enough good things about the pooters diaper. So well made, so absorbent, easy to wash. We love pooters. Hope this helps.

I agree with the two other responses to your question. In addition, I know it may seem overwhelming to put him in underwear but it is soooooo worth it. Good luck!

My son (5 1/2) doesn't wear any diapers or pull ups at night and in some cases has had some pretty massive accidents. This pad has never leaked. I wouldn't think that it could replace a diaper for an adult, but it could certainly take care of any leaks that may occur between changing.
