The clamp sounds very painful and I would worry that it would cause serious injury. I had a long drive to my 44 treatments so timing a full bladder was very difficult. Several times I just had to urinate right before treatment. There must be a better way.

I use a Wiesner clamp. I put it on as tight as it could possibly go. I don’t even feel it, If I leave it on for over about 2 1/2 hours, I start to feel it, but that’s the only time. You are supposed to move it around no more than every two hours.

Amazon sells them and they come with removable size guides that come in small, medium and large sizes to match the size of the penis.
