Thanks for the info. Keep us updated. I started out 5 years ago changing about 12 pads a day. I could not stand it to have any urine in the pad or the smell. So I went to a clip but the clip was difficult for any period of time. If I went to the gym I could leak straining. It became to painful. So I switched to the bag. Its been a trial and error for the last five years. Size of condoms and securely placing the bag being the big ones. I have also developed a rash. That has me the most worried. I keep it under control with bag balm at night. I am just getting worn out of the bag routine. However, I dont want to make things worse. Not sure how many pads I use but I empty about 50-60 ounces a day.
