I am a boxer guy, but knew those would not work to hold a pad in. Go with a Bigger jockey size if necessary that a pad can fit into without crushing your jewels. Also be prepared with mens diaper’s. Easiest to just pull up and on after catheter comes out. I ended up not needing the pads as immediately continent, but the diapers coming home and first night were beneficial. During catheter I just wore long shorts , bermuda type . The catheter just looped out of them at the bottom into a plastic mop bucket at the house and when I went out into a plastic grocery bag like the trader joes. No one could see the tiny bit of tubing circling out into the bag and it looked like i was just carrying a shopping bag. After catheter came out i just wore alot of sweat pants, just a little bigger. Good luck!
