Depend vs Attends: Incontinence Protection Showdown

Quick answer

For all-in-one maximum protection against heavier leaks, choose Depend Fresh Protection underwear. For boosting an existing product's absorbency, choose Attends Booster Pads.

Trade-offs at a glance

• Protection level: Depend offers all-day protection against heavier leaks with a super absorbent core that locks liquid into gel. Attends Booster Pads add an extra layer of protection but require a primary product.
• Convenience: Depend underwear is a standalone product you can wear like regular underwear. Attends Booster Pads must be combined with another absorbent product, adding a step to your routine.
• Odor control: Depend neutralizes and locks in odors by turning liquid into gel. Attends Booster Pads do not specify odor control; rely on the primary product for that feature.

Product facts at a glance

• Depend® Fresh Protection Female Underwear with Maximum Protection: Maximum Absorbency: All day protection against heavier bladder leaks—Depend for Women features a super absorbent core which absorbs 25x its weight and turns liquid into gel. This means you can rely on Depend underwear for full-day protection without needing additional layers.

  

• Attends® Booster Pads: Ultra-thin, absorbent core. Use only in combination with another absorbent product for an extra layer of protection. Attends Booster Pads are not a standalone solution; they are designed to enhance the performance of your current incontinence product.
