Incontinence Supplies for Men

A guard is essentially a male version of an incontinence pad. Incontinence guards are designed to better conform to a male body so that leaks are less likely to occur. A guard is worn the same way as a pad. Typically, an incontinence guard is less absorbent than male incontinence underwear.

If you want to increase total absorbency, or be able to change after leaks easier, you should explore incontinence boosters instead. Using an incontinence guard on top of an adult diaper will not give you the desired effect due to the waterproof backing. If you use a male incontinence pad with bladder control underwear, you will likely experience urine leakage after any large void. Boosters are specifically designed for this purpose while adding absorbency and easing the changing process.

Bladder control guards and incontinence underwear are primarily designed to manage urinary incontinence and may not provide sufficient protection for bowel incontinence. However, some high-absorbency incontinence briefs can offer some level of containment. For effective bowel incontinence management, adult briefs with full coverage, snug leg cuffs, and odor-control layers are recommended.

Stress incontinence: This occurs when physical activities like coughing, sneezing, or lifting cause pressure on the bladder, leading to urine leakage. Stress urinary incontinence is often due to weakened pelvic floor muscles or damage to the urethra or urethral sphincter. In men, stress incontinence is often caused by enlarged prostates and prostate surgeries (also called a prostatectomy). When the prostate is removed, a portion of the bladder neck's support system is weakened. This can cause urine to leak when pressure is applied.

Urge incontinence: This type of incontinence is characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate, often followed by involuntary leakage. Urge urinary incontinence can result from neurological disorders, bladder irritation, urinary tract infections, or prostate conditions.

Overflow Incontinence: This happens when the bladder does not empty completely, causing frequent dribbling of urine. It is often associated with an enlarged prostate, nerve damage, a narrowed urethra, or weakened bladder muscles and pelvic dysfunction.

There are several treatment options for male incontinence based on the cause and severity of their symptoms. Behavioral techniques like double voiding (urinating twice to empty the bladder fully) and timed voiding (urinating on a schedule) can help manage leakage.

Medications such as anticholinergics reduce bladder spasms, while alpha-blockers relax prostate and bladder muscles to improve flow. For more severe cases, catheters assist with retention, and penile clamps provide temporary leakage control.

Surgical options include an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) to regulate urine flow and the male sling procedure to support the urethra. Lifestyle changes like Kegel exercises, dietary adjustments, and weight management can also improve bladder control and urinary incontinence. A healthcare provider can determine the best approach based on individual needs.
