Been wearing a clamp for two years now. Mostly forget it's there but, every so often gets raw and hurts for no reason. Forget about living without it. It's the only way I could go back to work and have some QOL

@jimchs Try using hand cream or something like Vaseline or silicone gel if the skin gets raw.

Are you taking it off every two or three hours and moving it to a different spot? That’s About the maximum amount of time they’re made to be worn. They can cause infections if you don’t watch out.
The only other options are getting a repair job. The Mayo clinic neurologist did a video on that today. You can have a sling, Or the ProACT device if you’ve not had radiation. They’ll require some recovery from surgery. If you have a radiation Then the AUS (Artificial urinary sphincter) is the only solution.
If you can’t have those put in then you need to find some good wide pads like the Tena.
