When we use it as an indefinite article, "des" is used as the plural of both masculine and feminine:
masc.: "un garçon" > plural "des garçons"
fem.: "une fille" > plural "des filles"
When used as a contraction (from) "des" is either masculine or feminine. It is used as the plural form of both "de la" + feminine noun, and "du" + masculine noun.
masc.: "... du boudin" > plural "des boudins"
fem.: "... de la voiture" > plural "des voitures"
How they change:
fem.: de + la = de la
Before a noun starting with a vowel sound: de + l' = de l'
masc.: de + le = du
plural.: de + les = des.
