Male incontinence pants are one of the most useful incontinence management tools for men. Paired with with pads and liners made specifically for the male anatomy, they provide the best combination of comfort, security, and protection for men with bladder control problems.
Here are some of the basic types of male incontinence pants:
Stretch briefs with permanent pads 
are washable, reusable garments made of stretchy knit material. They are designed to look and feel very much like ordinary underwear, but they have an absorbent pad sewn in. This is a very discreet style of male incontinence pants, offering security with an absolute minimum of bulk. For men with occasional light or stress incontinence, these may be a good option.
Briefs or boxer shorts with removable pads
, which are sometimes referred to as pocket briefs or pouch pants, are washable underwear made with a special pocket for holding removable pads. They’re generally designed to be worn with a specific matching pad, some of which have a waterproof backing for additional protection. Depending on the brand, pads may be available in a variety of absorbency levels. This style of male incontinence pants is not bulky and can be worn with close fitting slacks with no problem.
Briefs with removable liners
are the next step up in leak protection. They are washable, reusable male incontinence pants made of stretchy material and they look like regular underwear, but they’re designed to be worn over a removable absorbent liner that covers more of the body than a pad would. The liners made for use with these garments may be flat or contoured, and are available in both disposable and reusable versions. Disposable liners generally have a waterproof backing.
Though this type of male incontinence pants is somewhat bulkier than briefs with pads, they do provide substantial leak and wetness protection and still can easily be worn under close fitting clothing. With the right liners, this type of briefs may be suitable for light, moderate, and even heavy incontinence.
Disposable incontinence briefs
are a popular form of male incontinence pants that offer both excellent protection and outstanding convenience. Disposable briefs made especially for men are available in a range of sizes and offer several absorbency levels, but are generally best for men with moderate incontinence. This type of male incontinence pants are generally somewhat bulkier than reusable stretch briefs or boxers, but can still be easily worn under everyday clothing. Disposable briefs can also be worn under waterproof pants that add an extra layer of protection.
Waterproof pants
are male incontinence pants that are made of plastic, vinyl, rubber, or other waterproof material and are designed to be worn over underwear or adult diapers. They come in a wide variety of styles, including some that have drop-front flaps or open side seams that close with snaps or velcro, which can benefit men with limited mobility.
Used in combination with a brief/pad system, briefs with liners, or adult diapers, waterproof pants can provide the maximum in leak protection. They are generally cut to be roomy, in order to accommodate layering underneath, so they may add some bulk. Most modern waterproof pants are made of materials especially chosen to be “rustle free” and discreet.
