All good information (although I've never heard of ProAct. Do you have a link with information?)
From what I've read, you'll still get some stress incontinence with an AUS. Lifting will certainly do that. But I understand that the incontinence will reduce by around 90% with only one light pad per day needed for some stress incontinence.
I've read about the clamp. Everyone says don't wear it for more than 2 hours at a time.
I don't like the idea of it at all. But then, I've never tried it.

Here you go Peter. The AUS has been in use since the 70's and, supposedly is the go to. Downside is that if you had radiation like me it may cause urethral erosion, is not pressure adjustable and, it is considered major surgery. The ProAct has only been in use since 2017, uses a balloon on each side of the urethra and, is minimally invasive as it is placed under the skin and, there is no incision (don't understand how that could be) and, can be adjusted in doctor's office using an adjustment port. Since I'm new to group it won't let me post link ?? you can search Uromedica.com/proact.

I’ve actually forgotten to set my alarm to two hours and had the thing on for 3 1/2 hours one time. It wasn’t a problem. Of course I don’t repeat that. I almost always get off within two hours.
And the directions do not say to stop using it they say relocate it for another two hours.
