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.

Hi Julia
I am one of the unfortunate 5% who suffer from permanent incontinence issues. After a RP in 2018 I began using the KC Depend Incontinence Underwear for Men so I have no need for briefs or underwear. I use the KC Maximum Guard pad; both purchased from Amazon. I am still fairly active at age 82 and still golf, ski and play squash. I generally use one pad per day but on a active day I will use 2 pads. I considered surgery to install the AUS device but found the concept somewhat distasteful. I do my kegels regularly but my Urologist indicated that after performing a cystoscopy 15 months after my surgery that my external sphincter muscle was on the short side and was not up to the task. I did suffer recurrence but after SRT in 2022, the good news is that my PSA continues to remain at < .008
