What most people don’t know
A wet brief can lead to a UTI.
A brief stops leaks, but it holds the urine right against you. Hours of warmth and moisture next to the urethra is how many urinary tract infections begin.
The brief gets wet
Urine is locked into the core, which rests against your skin until the next change.
Bacteria multiply
Body heat and trapped moisture let bacteria grow on the surface touching you.
They reach the urethra
It is only a short distance for bacteria to travel up into the bladder.
A UTI starts
Burning, urgency, sudden confusion in older adults, and sometimes a hospital stay.

The problem isn’t you. It’s what sits against your skin all day.

I got this for my elderly mother who suffers from incontinence and has had several urinary tract infections. She found the UriGuard sheild to be very comfortable and asked me to get more for her. I love that these shields will keep bacteria in her diapers from causing any further UTI infections

Athena UraGuard shield is life changing.
The UraGuard Shield has been a game changer for my elderly mom. It has kept her dry where she needs it which is gonna help prevent UTIs. We’ve also noticed that it’s health control odors that sometimes come along with using adult undergarments. The UraGuard fit securely in her adult incontinence briefs. We’ve used them all week and we can definitely tell a difference in her health below the belt. This is something we will definitely be using in the future because comfort is everything for my mom.

FAQs
1. How does UraGuard® Shield work?
Here’s what happens when you use the shield:
The shield liner is placed inside your incontinence brief or diaper, positioned directly under the urethra.
During the day, urine and stool are absorbed into the incontinence product, creating a warm, moist environment that allows bacteria to multiply and thrive.
When bacteria build up in this damp space, they sit right against your skin.
UraGuard® creates a targeted physical barrier over the urethral area, separating it from the moist parts of the incontinence product where bacteria are present.
With the urethral area covered, it stays separated from the moisture and bacteria held in the pad or brief.
2. How is UraGuard® Shield Different From a Pad?
Unlike full-length pads, UraGuard® is a small, targeted shield designed specifically to cover the urethral area — not absorb fluid. It works alongside your existing incontinence brief or disposable underwear. Learn what a hygiene shield is.
3. Is UraGuard® gentle on sensitive skin?
Yes! UraGuard® shields are made with soft, skin-friendly materials chosen with sensitive skin in mind. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use and speak with your healthcare provider.
4. What size is UraGuard® Shield? Will it fit my brief?
UraGuard® is a small, targeted shield — noticeably more compact than a full-length pad. That’s by design: it only needs to cover the urethral area, where protection matters most.
It’s thin and flexible, and designed to fit inside any standard incontinence brief, diaper, or disposable underwear without adding bulk. Many first-time customers are surprised by how small it is — the compact size is what keeps it discreet and comfortable all day.
5. How discreet is UraGuard® Shield under clothing? Will it show or feel bulky?
UraGuard® is designed to be completely discreet.
It’s thin, flexible, and sits inside your existing brief or disposable underwear, so it won’t change how your clothing fits or feel bulky.
6. Does UraGuard® work for men?
UraGuard® is specifically engineered for women, as its design and placement are optimized for the female anatomy.
While men can use it for incontinence management, the UraGuard® technology may not provide the same benefits. We are actively developing a version tailored for men — stay tuned!
7. Is UraGuard® available as a pull-up or tabbed diaper?
Not yet. UraGuard® is currently available as a shield insert, so you can add barrier protection to any incontinence product you already use.
However, we understand the need for an all-in-one solution, and we’re actively exploring pull-up and tabbed-style options. Stay tuned for updates!
8. Does UraGuard® offer a satisfaction guarantee?
Yes! We stand behind the quality of our products. If you’re not completely satisfied, contact our customer support team within 30 days for a hassle-free refund or exchange.
9. How many do I need?
It depends on how you use it. Many women use one overnight or for longer stretches, like a long drive or a lunch out, so the 30-shield Night Pack covers about a month of nights. Some use one at every change and choose the 60- or 90-pack for the best price per shield.
10. Can I use UraGuard® with a pad?
Not with a regular pad worn in everyday underwear. UraGuard® is made for adult diapers, disposable briefs and pull-ons, and it can also go on top of a booster pad worn inside your brief.
11. Where is UraGuard® made?
UraGuard® is proudly manufactured in the USA. We’re committed to high-quality manufacturing standards to ensure our products meet the needs of women seeking comfort, dryness, and peace of mind.
