Thanks. My mistake. I use boxer briefs that are quite snug. Today i tried two overlapping pads, drank less water and tea and urinated more frequently just to keep
My bladder less full and actually did better. We will see if it continues.

@rruben02 I'm doing Pelvic Floor Therapy right now and the therapist wants me to drink MORE water, not less. Also, they want me to urinate less often. Why?

Because we are training our bladders in bad habits. A bladder will shrink (kind of like a stomach over time if you eat less and less food). When you're bladder shrinks from drinking less fluids, than it can hold less and you have to go more often.

Going more often just reinforces the cycle.

I have a fix for the leak problem that works 100 percent...posting a new answer below.
