What kind of incontinence product after RARP ?

Posted by surftohealth88 @surftohealth88, Jul 7 6:54pm

I know that incontinence has different levels but in general - with what kind of product one should start ?
There is an "underwear" type of products and than there are pads / guards. Do I buy both of them for my husband ?
Also, in your experience, how many a day one needs for a full incontinence (I have to expect the worst and be surprised with the better outcome, that is how my brain works *sigh and beside, I do not think that my guardian angel is "all there" since 1992 XP ) ?
And thirdly - is the sizing on those boxes correct or one should go a size up for a comfort ?

Thank you all in advance < 3

Well well, ha ha ha, rubbing it in, aren't we XP lol - I guess you have a spare room for us ahahaha, tempting us to move and all ; ) lol. Joking to the side - I am so happy to hear that you are having such great and affordable care - good for you !!! : ))) I was always dreaming of living in Australia or NZ but stars were not cooperating. Maybe in my next life ;).

Tried "Totaldry" right now - size L is "sold out" even for sampling and pad/shield type that I need gone too. Also, I can not have 2 samples of the same kind, so I would end up with only one sample of one thing. I mean, it is just ridiculous to buy huge packets of anything and than trow it away - what a waste of money and totally environmentally irresponsible ! I would be happy to pay for full sample variety package - like 2 of each in line, size L. One would think that something like that is a marketing no brainier for those companies ???? I do not know ... just ridiculous.

I ordered today some products on Amazon, if they do not work, they will be donated, what else is person to do.

I have found that Good Will can definitely use packs of incontinence products that do not work or are no longer needed so do assisted living places. I have been happy with Tena but am paying full price

Thank you all for finding the time to write and helping me with the preparations < 3.

I really appreciate that you went into details since those seemingly small and trivial facts are actually the ones that help me get the gist 😉 . When things are out of control having at least small control over logistics means a lot.

Sending hugs to all and wishing you nice and relaxing day < 3 ! : ))

Definitely all good comments. I did the kegel exercises over and over again before mine and was very fortunate to have good luck post-operation.
