What are the best incontinence clamps post-surgery?

I started out with the 3" version and subsequently went to the 2" version.
The best thing I liked about the Cunningham is that it is easily bent to adjust firmer or softer. With the others you receive in the package different inserts that you need to try.
I know you are interested in the AUS (I think you mentioned an April date) I hope you can get it sooner rather than later. It was a game changer for me.

I ordered the 2" clamp and look forward to trying it.
Since my incontinence hasn’t improved nearly 6 months after surgery—despite diligent pelvic floor exercises—my surgeon referred me to a reconstructive specialist for a consultation. The specialist recommended scheduling an AUS implant, but I told him I’m not ready to take that step yet.
I explained that I’m now working with a new physical therapist who is helping me practice Kegel contractions not just in isolation (e.g., lying down), but in coordination with real-life activities like walking, going up and down stairs, and getting up from a chair.
I’d like to continue on this path for now, and if there’s no meaningful improvement by the one-year mark, I will consider the AUS. That’s where my thinking is at the moment.
