The Night Defense post got me thinking about starting bedwetting at age 15, way back in 1998-99 and what was available back then. First, other people are right about how much Depends advertising is done. Over the course of my life with this these issues, I have seen Depends go full-time with their advertising on TV. They have had celebrities in ads and commercials on on prime time. The issue I see is that there is a huge disconnect between those who leak some and those who really void on the issues with Depends brand. Back in the past. The six-tape diapers were my life. Luckily, attends were carried at a local store as well because the Depends were out of stock a lot and they had issues. For me, online saved my life. Finding products that worked even if they came from questionable websites. I think that the biggest problem with Depends today is that a lot of people start their incontinence journey with Depends. This leads to people who do need better product to feel isolated. Just a simple search for incontinence products for men on Amazon leads to page after page of products that are not going to keep up with day-to-day activities. That means that someone like my family pastor who had prostate surgery is going to be isolated. Luckily he knows of my issue and reach out for suggestions. The fact is that without better products, I could not live. Catheters don't work for me and I am not going to change 20+ times a day. Plus with my voids being big, there is no way to get by with of the shelves incontinence products. I am also willing to admit that there are those who are fine with Depends. My biggest issue is that a company like that is really falsely advertising their products and not listing to their users. They could easily get a product out that rivals the best product competitors have to offer but they don’t care about what we need. They are not alone in this. They are just the loudest voice out there.
Just my two cents on this matter.
