Prostate Cancer Incontinence: What products do you use? Tips?

I had surgery 9 months ago and am still having incontinence issues. You mentioned that he is using Depend briefs and changing them as needed. I started that way too, but quickly learned that changing a brief required taking off my shoes and pants, which is not always easy or convenient. I now still wear Depend briefs but also use a pad (several brands are available, including Depend). That gives me a very easy way to change the pad as needed, sometimes without even unzipping my pants, and the Depend brief gives me a "dependable" backup in case the pad gets oversaturated. I do not use the adhesive strip that is on most pads, as it tears the Depend brief apart when removing the pad.

I can’t understand why people wear depends briefs when they can use a pad. If you use those briefs, you can’t easily pee without removing the brief. So, do you always pee right into your underwear? I know for me that would cause a continuous rash below my waist.
I wear a pad and may have to change it a couple of times a day, but I can go into a bathroom and pee without having to remove my underwear. I found that if I pee every hour and a half to two hours, my pad does not get very wet, Even though I drip constantly if standing or sitting.
Underwear like jockey shorts can easily hold a thick pad, but still enable you to stand at a urinal and pee by doing it through a raised leg band, since the normal opening is blocked by a pad.
Just some thoughts by someone with a real incontinence problem I want to get an AUS to resolve.
