Good morning - my husband is scheduled for an RP in June. The advice you gave is very helpful. If I may ask, what type of underwear do you use with the pads? My husband currently uses a moisture wicking boxer style. (he is active and works out and hikes regularly). He also has a stack of the "tidy whities" from years ago that fit snugger.
I am interested in knowing what type of men's underwear works better with the pads.
Thanks for your advice and sharing your information.

I'm 26 months post RP and also very active between mtn biking, golf and backcountry skiing. Hiking was my primary exercise after surgery and post op I wore Depends for almost 4 weeks then back to boxers(prefer loser) with pads w/sticky tape(brand agnostic) for a few more weeks until the leakage subsided. Good luck to your husband and you!

Hi! Great question! I’m an active guy like your husband. I’m wearing boxer briefs, minor made by Hanes, but I’m sure that there are other good brands. They have all the support of briefs with the added comfort of traditional boxers. The ones I use are moisture wicking.
You are awesome for participation in the forum and being on the journey with your husband. I wish you both the best for success. Don’t hesitate to ask more questions. I am the number of other patients are here to share our experience and hopefully provide some helpful ideas.
