Anyone recently experience sudden diaper rash using "Shields"?

I use Depends Shields. I was having trouble using these in a pair of briefs type underwear, so my solution is to hold them in place using a jockstrap, and wear underwear over that. Compared to using a pad like this with just underwear, the jockstrap is great.
Most of my leakage problem is during the day, although even then it isn't that much. At night the pad needs to be there because there are a few drips to absorb in the first few minutes after I return to bed when I get up to urinate. Eventually I developed scrotum irritation. I decided that the constant high humidity around my testicles and penis caused by wearing a pad all the time was the cause.
So, about 10 minutes after I get back into bed I take off the jockstrap and pad, and keep it off until I get up to urinate again. The irritation has subsided.

@climateguy and @rlpostrp, interesting idea to replace the jockey-style briefs with a jockstrap to hold the incontinence pads. @rlpostrp, I also was a lifetime wearer of loose full-cut boxer shorts (never boxer briefs), at least starting when I converted from ball hugging briefs to boxers in high school, right up to the time severe incontinence required pads and I went out to buy Fruit of the Loom briefs for the first time in 50 years. I have also been a lifetime wearer of what my dad called athletic supporters, still wearing jocks at the gym unlike most men because my boxer shorts were longer than my gym shorts, and I still have a supply of traditional white McDavid and Goldberg jocks. If I wear my baggy full-cut boxer shorts over the jock and pad and tuck in my A-shirt into the boxer shorts they will completely cover the waist band and bulge. It won't compare to the hang loose freedom I used to enjoy when I would come home from the office, hang up my work clothes, and hang out in my boxers in the warm months. But at least I won't have to wear a pair of trousers over either my Depends or tighty-whiteys.
