Any suggestions for helping an elderly male adjust to wearing disposable incontinence underwear?

Any brands that may not be Maximum protection or may be in boxer style?

Victor, do what my Mom is making my Dad do... Dad had refused to wear Depends type products so if he had an accident Mom would hand Dad the cleaning products to use to clean the floor.... if it was his clothing, he would have to do the wash. The other day Dad bought a package of Depends for himself :)

I'm having the same issues with my father now. He is a senial old goat. He would rather wear 2 or 3 pairs of pants and soak them all than to wear a disposable diaper. I can't take him anywhere because he is wet and smells. And he would rather argue with you and not think anything is wrong.

Yes, "Prevail Boxers for Men" case of 48 about $45. Medium fits 28-40" waist. If you don't see them, ask the pharmacist to order them or go online.

Depending on the issues regarding the elderly man's incontinence, if it is just urine he might be able to wear Depend Guards, and gradually progress to the Depend type underwear.
