Incontinence products questions: Pull-ups vs. diapers, pads and guards

Hey everyone,
For immediately after catheter removal when you need the most protection, it sounds like most of you used pull-ups...because as Chippydoo said, "We're big kids now." I want to order supplies before surgery.
Big question: For those who use Tena, did you use the " Tena Men Protective Incontinence Underwear Overnight Max Absorbency" (rated at 8 drops protection.)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FDH9YBR7/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3
or were the
"Tena Incontinence Underwear for Men, Protective, Maximum Plus Absorbency" (rated six drops)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015W3DRPE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1
good enough????
So many products with similar names...but in simple terms, would you go the maximum option for absorbency?
Thanks much!
(there's even one with 20 percent more absorbency, but hoping don't need that, Tena Men Overnight Extra Coverage Incontinence Underwear)

I bought for my husband "Depend Night Defense" , Incontinence Underwear for Men, Disposable, Overnight, gray color. I just now went to check order history and counted "drops" - there were 8.
It was more than sufficient, I mean, an overkill in his case. But, who cares, those things are not bulky, you will see. ; ) Buy a smaller package of whatever type you choose to try, so in case that you happen to be fully continent you do not feel like you wasted your money. My husband wears skinny jeans and he was able to comfortably wear those when he went to hospital for catheter removal. There is absolutely no way somebody could see them under jeans. I am sure that Tena is the same. : )
