I’ve been using a clamp for many years. One was supplied to me after having radiation 3 1/2 years ago following my prostatectomy When the cancer came back.

The one I was supplied with was uncomfortable, and I read here a few years ago about Wiesner clamp. I bought one and it works quite well. I don’t use it every day, but I use it when I go to the gym or go out for dinner or go dancing with my wife. Those activities seem to make me leak more. I almost always take the clamp off after two hours, But will wear it a few hours later without any issues.

I started using the Tena Pads about two months ago. The ones I was getting for free were no longer available in January. They were pretty thick pads, but if I was real active that he would get soaked quickly. The Tena pads do not seem to get soaked as easily and don’t leak as much. That doesn’t mean they don’t leak at all, if you wear them too long they leak. Sometimes I don’t notice until too late.

Good to know about those Tena's....and super glad the Wiesner is working well.

@jeffmarc, you say you use the Wiesner clamp at the gym. Do you use it in the showers. Because of my incontinence, I no longer use the showers at my gym, which are communal. I was thinking of using my Wiesner clamp in order to be able to use the showers, but with its bright blue and white color think that it would be too conspicuous and embarrassing. The members that use the gym at the time I work out are generally old guys like me and include some other prostate cancer survivors, but I'm skittish about trying the clamp in the showers.
