You should probably consider a clamp in order to resolve the problem when doing things outside the house. I use it when I go to the gym, go somewhere for dinner, or going dancing with my wife.
I use a Wiesner clamp. You can keep it on for a couple of hours, but then they recommend moving it to another spot. It costs about $35 and comes with three different size options.

@archtxt4u "tired of dealing with it"? I know exactly what that's like.
There is light at the end of the tunnel - and it's not a train.
The AUS would be a good solution. I had mine activated last July.
The sling is also an option - best for incontinence that's not too bad & being all internal, once it's healed, it just does it's thing, with no interaction required by you.
Your surgeon/urologist would know which of these is best in your situation.
But aside from occasional leaks, going from 7 pads a day to 1 is a life-changer.
