And keep a few of the pads and pull up’s in your car. And your pocket when going out. I went through 2-3 pads just going to grocery store and a meal out. And I kept a pair of sweat pants or jeans in truck because I had a few bladder leaks/blowouts when I was out. Might need few extra towels on floor after shower. Urine just runs out until u get some control. My Dr said do nothing for 3 months so neighbors mowed for me . Hope it goes well for you, I never got bladder control..

Thank you, it's excellent advice. I keep emergency supplies in my vehicles, such as first aid and emergency water and food - even a retired pair of running shoes just in case I'm wearing the wrong shoes and end up need to do some serious walking - it stands to reason that this planning should include extra continence supplies for just in case.

I believe I have a year of firsts, the first time I lift something heavy or am not within easy access of a toilet, I like the idea of throwing a pad or two in a pocket just in case, excellent advice.

Have you tried an external catheter? I tried them a couple of times I went on long drives and thought it was great. No more worries.
