@surftohealth88 It got me the AUS pretty quickly.
"How many pads are you going through?"
"Well each entry there is a pad change"
"Oh".

Oh I know - they are sometimes very stuck with terminology or methods of measuring *eyeroll. HOW on Earth number of pads measures correctly incontinence ???
First of all there are different pads with different absorbency !
Second, there are people that are ultra clean by nature and would change a pad even with few droplets of urine ( like my husband now) or guys that just do not give a damn and change it when it feels really wet. Now - those 2 theoretical guys could be having the same "number of pads" in 24 hours and absolutely completely different amount of incontinence !!!
BUT - doctors always first ask- how many pads ??? I mean - just shoot me !
It would be like asking somebody how many times a day they consume water without asking how much at each serving - is it a sip from your hand , or 8 oz each time ?! I do not know how they do any research or follow patients, honestly LMAO.
