SQ50600PK - TENA MEN Moderate Absorbent Guard

Well, I never thought I would be leaving a review for something like this, but here I am! As a man of 60, who is very active and loves to hike and walk long miles everyday, long drives, etc. these have really been incredibly helpful and life affirming. Okay, this will sound strange: I may not end up “using” them every time I am on a hike, but they give me that extra confidence and let me not be embarrassed if I am out with a group of friends or on a steep run and I can concentrate on safety and my surroundings. Our bodies are machines and sometimes we just need a little extra help as things wear out a bit. I have tried various other brands and forms of these prior and have found these to be perfect. Comfortable, absorbent and not too bulky and sticks well to undergarment. Nicely designed for men, appreciated! Not noticeable at all under my workout gear. Looks great under a nice pair of jeans, just a little oomph ;) So there you go! Embrace being human guys, no shame and enjoy getting out in this world.

TENA Incontinence Pads have been an absolute game-changer for comfort and peace of mind. These pads offer superior absorbency and keep me dry throughout the day without the need for constant changes. The discreet design means I can wear them with confidence, as they’re thin enough to remain invisible under clothing, yet incredibly effective at preventing leaks. One of the standout features is the advanced odor control, which works perfectly even during extended wear. The pads are soft, comfortable, and gentle on the skin, with no irritation, even after hours of use. They stay securely in place, thanks to the adhesive backing, which ensures they don’t shift around, even during active moments. For anyone dealing with incontinence, TENA Pads are a reliable, high-quality solution that offers comfort, protection, and discretion. They’ve truly improved my daily life, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable product.

These are ideal for men perhaps several months after surgery, when your leakage is low, as they are less bulky and obviously absorb less liguid than TENA's heavier grade pads, which were very useful right after surgery, when you might have leaked a cup of urine a day. ***Practicing Kegels before surgery, then doing you Kegels often each day, starting a week or so after the surgery, REALLY helps with a quicker recovery!! When you heal and recover to where you only have one to a few unexpected small "spurts" a day, then this thinner TENA pad could be ideal for you. TENA's in general are very absorbent compared to other brands I've tried, comparing same thickness, and they hide any odor of urine well for hours. The have a better "wicking' material, that's why. The slightly higher price for them, compared to the cheaper pads sold at "big box" stores is well worth the difference, as a thinner TENA is a lot more comfortable than a less tailored, less aborbent, and bulkier cheaper brand. The fit is much better for me than, say, *Depends, and that brand difference totally depends on just how a particular pad conforms to your body/underwear. Some folks prefer the *Depends fit. Price matters more for some folks, too. Your mileage may vary. Try different brands and see. I bought some pads from different brands, that happened to be donated to a Goodwill store, to compare them, and not waste much money doing so. By the time 6-12 months pass after surgery, most men "should" have little need of a pad. Even with the same surgeon, the time until you are '"dry" every day will vary by months for their patients. Shop around for surgeons, overall, some surgeons just have better technique than others. Get an "A" surgeon, and not a 'C" grade surgeon! Some days I'm "dry" and can wear the dry pad for 2-3 days before it gets wet. That's when a pad's adhesive is really tested! I'm also almost a year past surgery, so I hope to not "need" any pads in the future, yet I'll still have one on, "just in case" if I'm in public, and can't get to a bathroom for hours-as when your more "full" bladder is most likely to sneak out a "spurt". Solution-don't drink a lot of fluids for 2 hours before an event, and pee just when you get to an event, even when you don't feel like you need to! I'm 5'10' and 220 lbs, and the pad is too wide at the top and rubs on me, so I cut it roughly in half, horizontally and use the smaller, narrower bottom half only, and that is a better fit and feel for me through the day-the rubbing on the side and top used to drive me crazy when I walked. Maybe the whole pad is the right size/ fit for you. I learned that talking to other men after surgery, and looking on forums, that their daily urine leakage lessened as their body learned to "hold it in" especially while laughing, or suddenly standing up. (Go Kegels!) Fortunately , their need for pad size and thickness definitely changed to "smaller and thinner" with time, as things improved. Cons: The adhesive strip is at best mediocre. They've got to up their game on making this "stickier." One star off.

Great fit and discreet. Very absorbent. I’ve tried store bought guards and don’t like them nearly as well. These last throughout the night. Does not irritate my skin. Keeps me dry. I would recommend these to anyone needing protection.

I’ve been using these TENA Men Protective Guards for a while now, and they’ve been very dependable. The absorbency is solid, even for longer days, and they stay in place without bunching or shifting. They’re comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing them and discreet under regular clothing. I also appreciate that they don’t feel bulky or noisy. Overall, they provide peace of mind and do exactly what they’re designed to do.

Not what I expected not that the product was bad. It was my fault because I didn’t read exactly what it was. These things are almost paper thin not for me. I need it overnight.

Easy to use, and very comfortable. Have not had any skin irritation issues and I did with the little pads the urologist folks sent me home with. Makes me wonder why they would not hand these out that are designed for men. I’d definitely be suggesting it to them in my follow up appointments!

The Depends shields were just too small for even small leaks and the Depends Guards were an uncomfotable fit being too big and baggy. The Tena Guards were the perfect comfortable size and fit absorbing small to even large leaks. Highly recommend
