thanks Tucker
I have a friend who relies on an external catheter and he reports similar issues as you, He can go for walks with his daughter and get out some but he reports it falling off sometimes.
I want to avoid this but it is definitely a back up plan for now.

You bring up a good point about trying. I read the book ten weeks to continence and big part of that program seems to be psychological, not giving in to emptying your bladder and has you wearing thinner and thinner pads each week (in addition to other things like PT) However, this just did not seem 'do-able' to me. Despite badly wanting to get better, it seems my bladder and pelvic floor muscles have a mind of their own

How long ago did you have prostrate surgery??

if you can find a pt trained to work with males after protratectomy I would recommend this
thanks so much Tucker

Feb 2020 - LRARP. Zero PSA since. I have had to experiment quite a bit. Use a condom 2 sizes smaller. I put a dab of Vaseline on the spot it tends to stick. You cant coat it or it will not stick. I strap the tube to my thigh to keep it in place. I can do anything I did before. I have a few clamps but they are for sitting around doing nothing. Hard to wear past a couple hours.
