What products have you used for your incontinence? Any recommendations?

My 76yo incontinent father is using pull-ups right now. He is obese and they don't fit in properly, barely helping the situation. Anyone have any suggestions on how to manage UI in an obese (245#) male?

Bladder only you could look at external catheters, but for bowel, there isn't many options but briefs.

I've used many brands over the years. But the past 5 years or so, I've mainly worn Abena Level 4s.

I use disposables when I travel, and washables and waterproof pants when I'm at home. External catheters do not work for me, because I am double incontinent. Washable diapers are expensive to purchase, and the learning curve in using them can be daunting. However, they work so well for me that I could not fulfill my family, economic and social obligations without them. Amortized over a span of years, washables can actually be cheaper than disposables, especially if you must wash and change several times each day and use high-end disposables.

The products I use (provided by the VA) are disposable briefs, Oxybutynin, Calmoseptine ointment, and wipes.

Does the Oxybutynin help you a lot ?
