As a result, users of the new product will experience enhancements in comfort, discretion and performance.

"Kimberly-Clark and the Depend brand understand the emotional impact incontinence can have on those who suffer from this medical condition," said Andrew Meurer, Vice President of Kimberly-Clark North American Feminine and Adult Care. "As the creator of the adult retail incontinence category and the market leader for more than two decades, we remain committed to delivering innovative product solutions that provide users the confidence and dignity to overcome the withdrawal and other emotionally-debilitating symptoms that can so often result from this condition, as well as help them maintain a normal and active life.

"Our new Depend Underwear for Men and Depend Underwear for Women deliver on that commitment, offering consumers a gender-specific design that provides better comfort, enhanced discretion and superior fit and protection," added Meurer
