I have that clamp as well. Many days it gets uncomfortable.

@david1643 David,
Are you certain you are putting it on exactly as intended with the protrusion on the bottom centered on the urethra?
Are you clamping it too tightly? I found it best not to over tighten, to allow a bit of dribbling. Need to experiment which notch to use.
Occasionally my skin gets raw. I use a cream or vaseline when that happens.
Have you tried other clamps for comfort? I tested a half dozen before settling on one. Maybe that’s worth a shot.
