Best Incontinence Underwear for Men
After countless hours of research and testing some of the most popular brands of incontinence underwear, including everything from familiar drugstore brands to new products, we have put together a list of the Best Disposable Incontinence Underwear for Men.
How We Tested & Selected Our Favorite Incontinence Underwear for Men
Comfort is key when shopping for incontinence products. We looked for soft materials that feel great against the skin and tested for the telltale crinkle that can sometimes give away the fact that the user is wearing disposable underwear. | We tested each brand's recommended absorbency and checked to see if there was any leakage when standing, sitting, or laying down. Then, we pushed past the recommended absorbency to see if they could stand up to even more liquid. |
Fit is an important factor when it comes to leak protection. We checked to make sure the material conformed to the body with minimal bunching and that the leg gathers were comfortably snug but not tight. | After testing absorbency, the underwear went on to wear-testing to find out how easy it was to get them on and off, both dry out of the package and after they had absorbed liquid. If the style was tearaway, we tested to see if the sides split on their own when heavy with liquid or if they were difficult to tear by the user. |
The Top 5 Incontinence Underwear for Men
There are so many options available that the choices can be quite confusing. The needs of each of you will vary, and to help you find the best comfort and be knowledgeable on the best products, we have researched the best adult incontinence underwear for men.
Because Quality Bladder Protection for Men
Highly rated by customers, Because Market is a little-known brand that makes some of the highest absorbency incontinence products on the market. Because Market’s underwear absorbs up to 6 cups of fluid.
Partnering with urologists at Stanford Medical Center, the team at Because has developed cutting-edge materials that make their products feel like real fabric underwear. Their underwear is designed with premium quality cotton-like fabric that has a streamlined fit under clothes. Double-stitched leak guards are built into the leg area to provide extra leak protection and neutralize unwanted odor.
Both their pads and underwear are 35% more absorbent than leading brands*, meaning fewer leaks, better protection, and more comfort. Because Market’s underwear is available in two absorbencies: Maximum absorbs up to 4 cups of liquid, and Overnight absorbs up to 6 cups of liquid. Both are effective in protecting against leaks from sudden urges or gradual flows. The products are shipped free of charge discreetly to your doorstep.
* US Industry average is 1200mL absorbency for an overnight product. Because is over 1500ml.

Product Tested: Prevail PerFit for Men Protective Underwear  Photo: Dan Fogarty, M.A., FACHE |
Our reviewer found Prevail's PerFit for Men product to be soft and comfortable with an elastic waistband that flexes as you move. Made of latex-free material, these underwear are easy to slip on and off without snagging your foot or pulling on the skin in sensetive areas and it is clear that they have been designed specifically for men. The MaxSoft technology really does wich wetness away from the body and our reviewer found the Odor Guard material does an adequate job of preventing ordors. Prevail's 360degree Breathable Zones were also helpful for temperature control and airflow. 34 ounces (4 cups!) of liquid was added during testing without any leakage and the underwear still felt dry to the touch. |
Attends Advance Protective Underwear
Attends Advance Protective Underwear is great for mobile individuals that have higher frequency urinary incontinence. The product is made of breathable, stretchable, cloth-like material that looks and feels like regular underwear. You will find comfort with their triple-tier moisture-locking system that delivers superior performance and leakage protection while promoting skin wellness and managing odor. Attends also has comfort-flex tabs that are soft, flexible, and refastenable anywhere on the brief.
Tena Men’s Protective Underwear, Super Plus
Tena Men’s Protective Underwear provides total coverage for men with heavy leaks. They have super absorbent microbeads for advanced leakage protection where it’s most needed. They also have a wider fit and core width between legs that allows fluid to move away from the body, enhancing leakage protection. Additionally, they use a modern design to fit and feel like everyday underwear.
Tranquility Premium OverNight™ Incontinence Underwear
Tranquility’s Premium OverNight™ Disposable Absorbent Underwear is the top-rated overnight underwear for adults. It offers superior protection to ensure a restful sleep. Premium OverNight™ Disposable Absorbent Underwear is available in a range of sizes from X-Small to 2XL. The absorbent Peach Mat Core provides maximum protection by locking away liquid resulting in dryness, urine pH neutralization, and odor reduction while protecting delicate and sensitive skin from the damaging effects of moisture. The superior performance of the Peach Mat Core is why Tranquility’s Premium OverNight™ Disposable Absorbent Underwear is considered a top-rated overnight adult diaper among caregivers and medical professionals.
Although there are a lot of choices for men in the incontinence underwear market, these products have solidified their positioning in the market and have received excellent reviews and feedback from those who have purchased and used them.
Northshore
A pull-on that's different from the rest. GoSupreme™ from Northshore provides top-of-the-line comfort, absorbency, and fit while featuring extra coverage in the front, rear and sides.

Men's Washable Incontinence Underwear
If you’re seeking a solution for light to moderate incontinence that looks and feels more like normal underwear than paper pull-ups do, you may prefer ordinary washable cloth underwear with built-in absorbency. Not only are they discreet to wear so you can go about your usual day-to-day activities without worries, but you’ll avoid uncomfortable supermarket visits and disposal dilemmas and you’ll also save money in the long run. They are not suitable for heavy bladder leakage (full voids) or bowel incontinence.
