I never had a urinary infection.

At most I go through two pads a day, And that is not very often. The biggest problem is, I can’t trust what will happen if I go somewhere. I leak slowly and constantly if I am standing up, Even if I just go pee and empty my bladder, I still drip. This started about five years after I had radiation and has gotten progressively worse in the seven years following. I’m actually going to see a doctor about getting an AUS. If I’m too active and lean over to one side or the other, I end up peeing down my leg.

I do use a Werner clamp if I go somewhere, But I can’t keep it on for more than two hours or it can cause problems. If I were to go to a four or five hour event where I have to be standing up, I might have to change my pad and my underwear because the edges get wet. This really limits my ability to go places.

I can’t wear incontinence underwear because if my urine gets beyond The center of my groin it will cause itching and redness. I’ve got some stuff I put on to stop the itching, but I have learned not to do that. I was reading in my baby book that my parents had that problem with me when I was an infant, I guess you never grow out of that problem.
