@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.

@bwjb I wear the weisner clamp @jeffmarc suggestion. I just wear it in the evening as it starts to get sore. I think wearing it at the gym would be more your comfort level rather than anyone elses. Are you comfortable if someone asked? Otherwise go for it. Reminds me of a story. I was at the skin Dr for my quarterly checkup. Guy walks in with shorts and a urinary bag strapped to his calf. I wear a bag during the day. Everyone looked but didnt say anything. So I walked over and sat next to him and said prostate cancer? He said no bladder cancer. I pulled my pant leg up and showed him mine and we talked for 15min. He said its to damn hot to not wear shorts and I dont give a ____ what someone else thinks. So there you go.

I never take a shower at the gym. I live a few blocks away if I need a shower, I’ll take it at home. Yes, it would be quite conspicuous. I don’t think it would change what you’re doing since you don’t take showers there now. They’ve been working out for the full hour. I’ve been there. I don’t sweat a lot. Almost all of it’s on my forehead.
I wear it at the gym because I would leak a lot due to the weight exercises. Besides that, even though I have the clamp as tight as possible, I do leak a little through it. Have to wear a pad.
