Depends undergarments are one of the leading incontinence products for adults. Formally introduced by the Kimberly-Clark Company in 1984, this product has continued to develop, offering various styles and absorbencies that discreetly and effectively assist its customers. Whether you need incontinence protection for yourself or for a loved one, there is an appropriate product in this line. Depends currently are available in disposable guards, belted shields, fitted briefs, booster shields, and their newest product, underwear for men and women. The underwear are manufactured to look like traditional briefs and have a fabric, as opposed to plastic, feel. They are made to gender-specific absorbency and body fit needs, with more protection in front for men and in the bottom for women. The briefs and underwear come in sizes from small to extra large, and the guards and belted shields are one size fits all.

Depends are available for around a dollar per guard. If you purchase larger packages, the cost is a little lower. These undergarments are widely available in supermarkets, drug, and department stores, but if you are self-conscious about buying them in person, they can be purchased online for about the same price, especially if the store offers free shipping. Unfortunately, regular use of these products can get expensive. There is an abundance of new, sealed packages of Depends, both new and vintage, available at online auction sites like eBay. If you don’t mind the crinkly plastic of the older style, there are some excellent bargains to be had. Many Internet sites, such as eBay or The Coupon Clippers sell bulk coupons for these products. You only need to pay a minimal fee to the seller for the time spent to cut and list the coupons. Depends also qualify as a flexible spending account item, so take advantage of it if your employer offers this option.
