Great Sunday morning topic, I know.

My Father starting having a few small issues with urine incontinence 2 weeks ago, but suddenly last week became totally incontinent. Seems very quick and I have his doctors looking into the causes. Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions on if this may be normal or if there could be other causes? No UTI or other issues right now.

He has been a big breezy boxer wearer his whole life also and the disposable underwear we've tried so far are really bothering him, too tight, scratchy, etc....just really struggling. With all his normal confusion, he just can't figure out why this is happening and really has thrown him for a very sad and aggitated loop.

Any ideas on possible causes or products that have worked that are more comfortable or more dignified? This is one issue I've feard for him for so long, it was the last thing he really still had control over and he's so so sad over this.

Thank you!
