I chose not to get the AUS due to complications (Urethral stricture). I couldn’t be more pleased with a $39 incontinence clamp. Does not hurt when sitting on hard surfaces as many AUS users have reported. Can do anything while wearing it. Seldom remember it’s even there. No chance of malfunctioning necessitating surgical replacement like an AUS. I recommend giving it a try before committing to an AUS. After trying several, I settled on the Weisner Clamp bought on Amazon).

PS: That the clamp can only be worn 2 hours a day is a myth. I’ve worn the Weisner clamp 16-20 hours a day for 3 years with no ill effects. I Don’t clamp too tight for 100% effectiveness. Most leaking occurs at night when clamp is off. I use one pad a day. (Tena maximum protection is the best pad IMO) I Change location of clamp with every void.
