Responding to a couple of @peterj116 questions:
I had glue for the incision in the crouch. It was a little scratchy, but each trip to the shower slowly wash it off.
Going on 3 years and about one pad per day, any leakage is usually when my bladder is somewhat full and, while sitting in a chair, lean over to tie a shoe. The device is designed to retain a certain fluid pressure and that squeezing action exceeds that design. That's a good thing to avoid urine backups or damaging the bladder, etc. The technical mathematics of you body's natural system and the AUS device can be found in the manufacturer's literature.
I hops this helps and puts you more at ease.

Thankyou. That helps. Not good to know that leaning over still leaks, though. That's driving me nuts at the moment. Does more frequent urination avoid that?
