Your husband now needs to be wearing men's Depends. You just throw away all of his old underwear and tell him that you've gotten him some new underwear. And don't ever call them diapers, even though that's what they are, as you still want to keep his dignity.
On top of that you yourself can escort him to the bathroom every 2 hours and assist him at the toilet so he can pee or poop.
Incontinence is part of the dementia journey and is often the straw that breaks the camels back when it comes to getting a loved one placed.

Sorry, I didn’t quite understand how this worked. My husband is incontinent and I need some advice on how to get him to use the toilet before he pees his pants. He wears briefs.

Any advice would be appreciated.
