Thanks Surf! Super helpful info.

• Hadn't considered the washable version of bed pads....was thinking just of the disposable bed pads.
I might get some disposable bed pads....put one on my recliner and also if I end up staying at family member in Chicago the day I get out of the hospital (drive home is a few hours). I've also heard that some people who have continuing incontinence problems throw a disposable pad down on the hotel bed.
So, maybe I'll get that washable one for the home bed and a smaller quantity of the disposable pads ....and then hope I don't need them for long.

•Wow, great to hear about the pull-ups. I read that it's easier to change the tab version without taking off your pants...but guess it depends on how long you have to deal with total incontinence.

Thanks for all the info!

Hmmm, maybe it is easier, I guess it depends of fitness level and age and all other things - you will know the best what could possibly be more comfortable for you personally. Also keep in mind that once you switch to pads you need to wear nice fitting underwear that will hold it all in place ( not boxer shorts).

I see that you asked about wipes - maybe that person referred to wipes that you might need in a period of initial recovery while you still have catheter in. You will need to keep meatus clean and wipes could be handy. Here is a video that explains many things very nicely :
