What incontinence products do you all advise?

I’m puzzled. I never had any leaks from my catheter. Four days after surgery, I was at 3 clients offices, never had a problem. Seven days after I went to work full-time and I still have the catheter in for a full week. Never had any leakage. Did have to empty the bag.
I didn’t need to secure it. It was secured inside my clothes, at that time. I didn’t use any type of pad.
Is this a common problem others had?

Forgot to mention, Jeff, I was actually expecting some urine leakage with the catheter. Post-surgery paperwork said I might experience some leaks, but to let the doc know if I experienced persistent of larger leaks. So initially, it was a precaution to stop leaks, though none happened, outside of what I mentioned earlier.
@jeffmarc Yes, I had lots of leakage from the catheter.
@jeffmarc -- I had some leakage from the catheter. Not a lot, but enough to warrant wearing a pad.

I should have specified. My leaks were some blood leakage. Not much, but enough to warrant cover. Doc said it was normal for some folks, due to irritation. This continued in small amounts on and off for the entire 14 days; no pain though, just discomfort. I also had a slight infection. Did not want any of those on sheets or sweats. No urine.
