Pad (for leaking) recommendation after prostate surgery

Fight not to use the pads, get your mind to say no. I wore the pull up home after the RP and then threw them away. I ran to the bathroom every 5-10 minutes the 1st week. Do not become dependent on the pads unless you have no choice. I also work out 3-4 times per week, walk 2 miles, stationery bike 5 minutes, row machine 5 minutes, weight training varies approx. 30 minutes and finish with 4 rounds of 30 sit-ups, 15 push ups. You can beat this, just need to fight. Also watch what you eat, get weight down.

This is very encouraging! My husband is having RP at the end of February. His surgeon referred him to a PT that does pelvic floor therapy and my husband has been doing the kegels, every day, twice a day. He also works out 5 times a week and we walk almost every day. I want to get some pads for after his surgery (just in case) but not sure what I should be buying. We are both very positive and doing whatever we need to do as a TEAM!

I like your attitude. I’m 71 and work out everyday, whether it be cardio related or strength training. I do 300 abs everyday. Did you do kegels? I’m assuming you had a catheter for a week or so. BTW, are you “drip free”? I’ll await your response. KJ
