Once the initial 6-8ish week healing was complete, a couple of years ago, in have been pain and trouble free, while remaining very active. It beats the heck out of changing pads a dozen times a day. Good luck.

Don’t you get a little leaking? We were discussing it, in an Ancan.org meeting last night, with someone who is having problems with theirs, and a second person piped up that they’re still having to wear a pad because they still leak a little bit, and they were surprised that it didn’t completely resolve the issue for them.

I’ve heard this repeated in this forum as well. Apparently, if you sit so that your perineum is pressing against something you can leak, and that’s not the only way.
