Depends pants & pads - a practical (or stupid?) question..

I have been wearing BJ's brand of Depends now for 2 weeks. Go through 2 a day. Only negative is the "jock itch."
I also have the BJ's brand pads but they really don't adhere to my boxer-briefs at all and keep slipping. Maybe there is a better brand?

Aquaphor ointment helped with my chafing I had when I first started, I don't know if it might help with jock itch.

After trying several different types of pads, I've settled in on the "Tena Incontinence Guards for Men, Maximum Absorbency". They are triangular pads, with stick-on for my briefs. They cost about 32 cents (US$) each when purchased in three packs from Walmart or Amazon.

For outings, I carry one in a ziplock sandwich size plastic bag in which I can place it for disposal if necessary.

I'm down to one per 24 hours and two if I'm really active and drinking more water. I'm at 5 months out since RP surgery.

I'm now using Depend Real Fit underwear with a Tena Men Active Fit pad (Level 3)
The Tena has an adhesive strip to attach to the inside of the pants. Works great & I don't go through as many (comparatively expensive) pants when I just have to change the pads a few times a day.
