With some planning I don’t have to change often. Actually, I been wearing a pullup with a guard inside and I can just pull the guard out and throw it away and just use pullup. Always have a spare guard in pocket, but haven’t ever used it as just the pullup last for a decent amount of time. Actually at night I just wear the pullup (not an overnight) and it feel pretty dry in the morning, but weighs about .3 - .6 fluid oz. more.
Yesterday did try a regular pair of briefs with a guard, my first test with regular men’s briefs and a guard. Wanted to try it out as wearing the pullup and a guard out in this 95 degree heat, with 110 degree feel like temperature, was really causing a lot of sweating. It went okay until I got to digging with shovel out in yard, but still didn’t leak through. But today I tried it again and the briefs must have been looser or something. Just moving around house and working on computer, noticed wet spot on outside of my shorts, but I was home and not in public. Maybe will try again tomorrow with tighter briefs? If going to be gone a long time and in public places, I use pullups with a guard, but that is just too hot working outside, really sweat a lot.
Still don’t understand why at night I stay pretty dry and wake up with urge to pee and actually have good stream like a teenager. Like clockwork, 4 times every night and I don’t drink nothing after 8pm and go to bed around 11:30PM. Only add .3 - .6 oz. liquid. During the day, no urge to pee, but do go try and may get a little stream- just a lot of stress incontinence. Now if I sit and visit for an hour or lay around and be a couch potato, I will have an urge to pee. Just a lot to learn and figure out.
When I say guard, I mean pad as thtt seems to be terminology most used. The package they come in calls them guards.
