call them whatever makes you happy in the end they are an absorbent product that keeps you from wetting yourself in my book thats called a diaper. I correct doctors when they call them briefs i call a diaper a diaper. But thats just my opinion.

Well....officially these are "disposable underwear"....but as Irish said....they are whatever u would like to call them. Most of the terminology is really driven by some customers being sensitive to the term "diapers."

I wear Depend Underwear for men or refastemnables during the day. I consider them disposable absorbant underpants. These are awsome for when I am away from a place to pee. They hold a full accident. For bed, though, they do not work well. These are for those that need a bit of help keeping their slacks dry during the day. At night I do wear a diaper.

Diapers are primarily worn by children who are not yet potty trained or suffer from bedwetting. However, they can also be used by adults who suffer from incontinence or in certain circumstances where access to a toilet is unavailable. These can include the elderly, those with a physical or mental disability, and people working in extreme conditions such as astronauts. It is not uncommon for people to wear diapers under dry suits. Diapers are usually worn out of necessity rather than choice,

1991? Depend came out with briefs and belted undergarments back in that year, the belted undergarments were the things that were made before before protective underwear came out in 2000. I also remember that Attends was out they even had belted undergarments. The guards for men first came out in 1992. I know now that people are missing out on Depend green fitted briefs that were made in 1991. Depend had came out for light to moderate incontinence that was a 3 button shields but discontinued cause of them probably leaked bad.

I find diapers to be a hastle to get on. Pull ups are far easier for me anyway. I'm with Chz41580s, the depends do not work at night. They leak in bed. I still wear a pull up but it is Tranqulity ATN. In two years I have only had one leak and that was due to (I think) drinking heavely the night before. There are some nights that I wear a rubber pant over my pull up just because I don't trust myself or the pull up. I'm sure everyone has there own opinion and there own reasons for wearing what they are wearing. Just thought I would share my thoughts with everyone here.
