1. Rearz Omutsu

An extra high rise and eight layers of thick padding make the Rearz Omutsu (around $36) an option that will give those with severe overnight incontinence peace of mind and help them finally sleep comfortably. Tossers and turners will definitely appreciate how well they stay put, too.

Cozy flannel on both sides
Hold up to six ounces
Antibacterial lining

2. Protechdry Boxer Brief

Men who are a bit self conscious will like that the Protechdry Boxer Brief (appx. $25) are barely distinguishable from normal underwear. They are best for daytime use, since they only contain about three ounces of liquid, and are designed to withstand over 100 washes.

Neutralize odors effectively
Available in black or white
Five sizes to choose from

3. Rearz Prefold

The Rearz Prefold (around $30) make use of a layering system that is reliable enough for overnight use, even for those who need a high level of absorbency. And, thanks to a chlorine-free manufacturing process, they shouldn't irritate sensitive skin.

Made from cotton
Get softer after washing
Comfortable fit around the legs

4. Carer Men's Incontinence Briefs

With a classic design, the Carer Men's Incontinence Briefs (appx. $44) may look and feel just like the underwear you have used all your life. Don't be fooled by their thin form though, as they can actually hold up to seven ounces of liquid.

They are breathable
Elasticized waist
Don't contain any latex

5. Sigzagor Nappy

If you want the ability to add heavily-absorbent pads for nighttime use, and thinner ones for the daytime, get the Sigzagor Nappy (around $12), which are intended to be used with inserts. In addition to their versatility, they are also very affordable.

Barely noticeable under clothing
Good choice for active people
Come in wide variety of styles

6. AGTLLC Reusable Briefs

Made from a combination of cotton and polyester, the AGTLLC Reusable Briefs (around $20) are both durable and breathable. They have a form fitting shape and leak-stopping barrier cuffs at the legs to minimize the chances of any liquid dripping out and potentially causing embarrassment.

Absorbent inner padding
Wick moisture away from the skin
Sizing runs small

7. Baby Pants Prefold

The Baby Pants Prefold (about $28) are made from birdseye cotton, which is not only extremely gentle on sensitive skin, but also one of the most absorbent materials that still launders well. These will last you a long time without signs of wear and tear.

Available in extra-large
Eight-layer wet zone
Not a good choice for overnight use
