I was apprehensive as well prior to the activation but it turned out to be a non event. I feel the device in my scrotum and the tubes as well though they are at the top of my scrotum. At first I dropped my shorts to the ground prior to urination as I was better able to press the unit as well as point for direction control. Later I was able to just unzip my fly, keep direction control with my left and then squeeze with my right hand. There is just mild discomfort in the squeezing but total relieving of urine with just one squeeze. I hope this answers your question.
