I had RRP about
six years ago, followed by two sling surgeries. For a while I was doing fine with one Depends Shields Light Absorbency guards every day, those are the ones that come in the gray and orange box.
Recently my leaking has increased, and I find myself changing pads once or sometimes twice a day. So the light guard isn't quite doing it for me, but I really don't want to "upgrade" (if that's the right word) to the Max Absorbency model, as they are way too bulky.
Any suggestions for something that's just a bit better than the Light Absorbency? Or alternatively, anyone have any creative solutions for maybe adding a disposable liner inside the guard? Any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

I have been a big fan of Tena. They are just right, but have gotten way to expensive. So I am also searching for an alternative.

Like Startech I'm a fan of Tena but agree the price is high. I've found that Walmart here in Canada sell Tena for a lot less than my local pharmacies.

Another vote for Tena. I get them online direct from them and pricing is not as bad that way.

I still use the Depends guards in the gray wrapper. The bulk doesn't bother me and it makes me look well endowed.

Funny Slink. I still wear the guards most of the time, probably more as a crutch, but a couple of months ago while doing so, my wife said "those jeans make your package look bigger."
It ain't the jeans, baby....
