Pending Radical Prostatectomy

I am seeking advice on incontinence supplies...suggestions requested.

  1. I stocked up on Depends Briefs, which I used for about two weeks. I then switched to Depends maximum absorbency guards and finally to Depends lightweight shields. I quickly realized that I didn't need any protection at night or while relatively sedentary. I was happy that my incontinence improved so rapidly. I still use a lightweight shield during vigorous exercise.

    1. Hi , in addition to Will's comment above, I wanted to share with you another comment we received on the Facebook post:

      Donald: "Find a good physical therapist who specializes in pelvic floor therapy. I went to two sessions and have not had any issues with incontinence."

      Sending you the best,
