“I don't think we have any digital scales, but know if we do I wouldn't dare use them for weighing a full diaper.”

I have a few sets, so it was easy enough to grab one and designate it my pee scale. It’s not as bad as you’d imagine, I have a paper plate that sits on it, and whatever I’m weighing sits on that. No direct contact with the scale.

My current equipment “down there” is usually a pair of regular boxer briefs fitted with a high-capacity guard (not the thin shields they sell). I can normally get about three hours out of one of those.

That’s when I’m staying home. If I’m going out, I feel more secure with either a pull-up (if I’m out for no more than two hours or so), or a pull-up fitted with a guard (if I’m out for more than two hours) - that way, I have the safety net of the pull-up, but I can still do quick changes of guards when I need to.

I have a whole convoluted system worked out. Yesterday, for example, we had a 35 minute drive each way to talk to our financial planner, and those meetings usually last two hours.

I wore a pull-up with a guard on the drive over, ducked in the restroom and disposed of my guard and sat through the appointment and the drive home with the pull-up only, no guard. The pull-up was more than capable of handling that.

The things we learn to do thanks to PCa…

Under those conditions, I would just put on the Wiesner Clamp and get two hours of no leaking at all. I do that if I’m invited over to somebody’s house for a meal. When I get there, I go in the bathroom and put the clamp on. Don’t have to worry about leaking for two or 2 1/2 hours. Put it on when I go to the gym or go dancing with my wife on Saturday night.

You might try it, it can solve a lot of problems.
