Would you tell a man he's got a urine stain on his trousers?

It depends who they are, really.

On balance, though, I'd tell them.

I would sure tell DP if that happened.
Could it be water splashes when he washes his hands tho?

Even if they fume at having to change their trousers it’s important to get this sorted.

If he is “in your life” - yes.
If just someone you meet occasionally, no.
Is there no mutual friend who could help out?

You could suggest he put on a clean pair.

It isn't my husband, but I asked his advice and he was quite defensive about older men urinating, saying "quite often you think you have finished and then more trickles out". I said surely in that instance it's good to put some tissue in your pants or a pad?
My husband only wears dark trousers (thankfully), so even if HE does it, it's not obvious. Light coloured trousers are not kind to their wearers.

It's definitely not water splashes as it's a round mark in a certain place. As I mentioned it is sometimes brown from repeated markings when the same trousers must have been worn several times.

I could, except I don't see them at their home so they are not able to when I see them.

He certainly needs a good (kind) telling then.
He'll end up smelling.

It’s something I am very aware of get sick of informing the person involved and I get told off for making it an issue!

Sometimes older gentlemen might find it useful to put a square of cotton wool in that area to catch little drips that emerge after the toilet. Your DH is right, it happens and is not the gentleman’s fault.

@MissAdventure It's going to be so hard to do! I dont know how I could do it politely . Except if I say I think he's dropped some food there???

@Redhead56 i think my husband would be defensive if it was him. He got defensive for me even mentioning the man I wrote the post about. Can men not buy some kind of pad for this type of thing? I have been wearing Tena lady for years to ensure I don't have this type of problem and would rather prevent it happening. Why don't men take similar action?
I know men don't give birth or have problems like some of us ladies do, but also why don't they admit it or prevent it like we are able to? The adverts on TV are always for female incontinence products but I never see any for men!

I agree with you I think (some men) not all can be stubborn. I totally agree with you about the adverts its always about women men can buy pads for little accidents now.
I think they get embarrassed about this problem but it's just what happens with age and health. Women accept these as normal and just get on with it.

I had a boss, in a senior position, who wore the same suit everyday and his trousers were covered in urine stains. No-one was brave enough to say anything.

On the other had, I would be quick to tell DH, despite him going off in a huff!

I suppose you could drop hints, "OnwardandUpward*

Fetch up the subject of prostate issues in older men, and say how it's important to have a test...

He'll certainly be defensive about that, if he realises what it involves!!

Mum always helped at village jumble sales but no way would she touch old men’s clothing for this very urine reason.

Yes, some women have given birth often and lost all dignity doing so. We have also mostly had monthly periods and accept our bodily functions.

I remember a female boss I used to have joking that her family gave her a pack of Tena lady for her 50th birthday. At the time I was horrified, but now I completely understand. It was a joke, but also a reality for many older people.

There is no shame, it should be talked about more. My DH got huffy for me even mentioning this even though it was not him I was referring to

I’d tell dh, not that it’s happened yet. He’d be mortified, but I’d point him at the men’s pads that are easily available.

AFAIK the PSA test is just a blood test. Dh has one every year. We have lost too many friends to prostate cancer.

Get your husband to have the conversation.

Well if the husband defensive he’s not going to do that Rosies

Personally unless it was a close relative I don’t think I could say anything but it really depends how well you know him I think I could tell my best friend if there was a problem but probably not anyone else It’s a terrible delicate subject surely he notices after a time or two or is his eyesight bad
We had a girl at work once who really smelt so bad underarms area but no one wanted to hurt her feelings. It’s such a hard and delicate thing to do
If you are close to him like a brother or something could you sit him down and tell him gently ? It’s a hard one I m surprised he’s not smelling already

The up to date prostrate test does not start with the 'finger up the bum' examination, its just a blood test. No doubt things will get embarrassing later on if the blood test is positive.
Remember the slogan 'don't die of embarrassment'? (I think directed at colon cancer).
Is this gentleman married? does he have a sister?

Could you say "I think you've spilled some tea (or coffee, soft drink. etc.) on your trousers...."?

It’s PROSTATE!
