5 worries men have about leaks after prostate surgery, and how a new kind of boxer answers them

Leaks after surgery are common. Living in adult diapers doesn’t have to be.

If you’re leaking after prostate surgery, you’re far from alone, and almost nobody warns you. Most men are handed adult diapers that crinkle and show under trousers, or told to tuck a pad into loose boxers, where it slips. Neither feels like you. Here are the five worries we hear most, and how Dryden answers each one.

1

You might be thinking

“People will notice. They’ll see it under my trousers or hear it crinkle.”

It looks and feels like normal underwear.

Dryden is a real boxer brief: soft cotton, a regular waistband, no plastic. There’s no bulk under your trousers and no crinkle when you sit, stand or walk. It isn’t a diaper in disguise. It’s the kind of boxer you already wear.

You might be thinking

“My pad will slip, especially in the first weeks.”

A built-in pouch keeps your pad in place.

Loose boxers let a pad shift and bunch. Dryden has an inner front pouch that holds a thin guard exactly where it needs to be, whether you’re walking the dog or teeing off. Slide it in, and it stays put.

You might be thinking

“It will leak onto my trousers in public.”

An absorbent core catches what the pad misses.

A built-in core runs from the front pouch to the gusset and holds up to 200 mL, with a waterproof barrier behind it. So your trousers stay dry at dinner, on a flight, or on the back nine.

You might be thinking

“Is this really for me? Will it hold enough in the early weeks?”

One pair for every stage of recovery.

In the first weeks, wear it with a thin guard in the pouch for extra capacity. As things improve, wear it on its own. When leaks are rare, it’s simply your everyday underwear. Same pair, all the way through.

You might be thinking

“Washing it sounds gross. And isn’t this expensive?”

Machine-washable, reusable, cheaper over time.

Toss it in with your regular laundry: machine wash warm, skip the fabric softener. Each pair is made for 100+ washes. No more bins of used diapers, and no monthly restock of disposables.
