What is a good product for my husband who is starting to wet himself?

Is there a product that he can use without pulling down to urinate? I am worried that he will wet himself in public and get embarrassed if I can't find a solution for him. Anyone know how to get him to wear these without making a big issue out of his incontinence?

There are plenty of "incontinence" products on the market.
If he is resistant to them just replace all the underwear in the drawer with the pull ups and if he asks just say all of the others are in the wash.
The pull up type are a bit better than the guards in my opinion I think they are more absorbent.
The pull ups are great as long as he is mobile. Tab or diaper type have a tendency to become loose if he is still pretty active.
Keep wipes nearby as it is important to wipe the skin if he does have an "accident". Make sure he does not flush them though. Or get the kind that can be flushed.

When my Dad was first having issues of not being able to get to the bathroom to urinate he tried Depend "Guards" and that worked pretty good for him. It's like a Poise pad for women but designed for men to use in their underwear. Works for both briefs and boxers.
