Pads and chaffing

Three months post op.


About a month ago I switched from the full Depends briefs to the Depends Pads. I am using 2-3 pads a day which aren’t completely saturated when I change them.


However, in the last couple days I’ve noticed the pads seem to be chaffing both sides of my straddle/groin. Anyone else had this problem and how did you combat it if so?

    I picked up a stick of Arm and Hammer Friction Defense this morning It’s like a deodorant stick but supposedly for “friction “ Gonna see what that does plus going to try to “air things out” today and see what happens without a pad or pull up while just sitting on the couch in a pair of sweat pants watching the football games today. I hope I don’t piss my pants

    What kind of underwear are you wearing with them? I found I could not use regular briefs, or the chafing would happen. I use now only boxer briefs, which keep the pad from moving around.
