When I had my catheter, I was daily going to clients offices and working on their computers. I had black jeans on and a catheter bag strap to my leg. Nobody had any idea I was doing this, Or I just had major surgery. A regular pair of sweatpants was fine during the evening.

I didn’t need any pads after my catheter was removed. I guess in some cases people don’t have any leakage after the removal. Don’t go overboard you never know.

Depends has shield pads that work quite well, better than the generic, i’ve tried generics…ugh. They come in different thicknesses.

My insurance company mailed me a penis pump. You might check with your insurance and find out if you can get one for free. They are medically Approved If you get it through insurance,, so it’s somewhat Better quality than the lower price ones you can buy.

I mostly work from home and will be totally working from home during that time, I'll be in sweats all day, I figure the breakaway would just make it simpler and less likely to snag - or at least from what I have read. $30 was a cheap insurance policy.
