I have used both tena adjustable briefs and all sorts of depends and both are good. Depends adjustable briefs and maximum are both good. Both work well and are more than sufficient. The adjustable's are less diaper like and are more discreet like underwear. The maximums provide very good protection for both pee and poop, regardless of position. I can remember a time when they have leaked for me for either. The tena's like other people have said, are very absorbant, but i have issues with them fitting right. I have never tried tena maximums, but i have used tens fitted briefs and i have found them to be a bit narrow in the front. This gave me some problems due to my male anatomy, and a couple times, i ended up peeing out the side of the diaper. Now i'm not fully grown, so any other guys who are might have problems with them too. Feel free to try different things and find what works for you.
