Best adult diapers/pads for post prostate surgery
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (55)Comment receiving replies
I am due to have a radical prostatectomy in early September. Can anyone give me guidance on what the best "men's diapers" are for the first weeks after catheter removal. My search shows so many options and I was wondering what most men find work the best. I appreciate any advice.

Hope all is well with you up to your surgery date brother !
I don't know your surgery date, but I strongly recommend some Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, preferably with a DPT. I did this for a few weeks prior to my RALP as well as afterwards. I actually had NO incontinence.
I wish you all the best.

I use the “Because” brand overnight diapers and Depend diapers during the day. But, as many people in this chat have mentioned, there are many brands and options to choose from.
One other thing I’ve found very useful is the Dekor EKO Classic Diaper Pail, which you can purchase through Amazon. It provides a sanitary, odor-free way to temporarily store used diapers indoors for several days before disposing of them.
