Guards in underwear
Well, I actually tried just a guard in a pair of under armour boxer/jockey underwear. Then I went ouside and staretd getting my camper ready for the beach (clean the awning; clean windows, clean grill). I had no leakage onto my underwear or shorts. I did have leakage into the guard, but it was contained (no pun intended here). I just will have to build up a little more confidence with the underwear and guard scenario. It felt good just to put on underwear. I am getting there.

Sound good
Hi Lighterwood,
Nice to hear things are progressing. I have been using the Depends light pads in tighty whities for about two years now, they seem to work very well catching the occasional drip or dribble. I went two sizes larger in my tighty's and it still keeps me dry and give my "friend" a chance to poke his head out instead of being a frightened turtle. I think my original size of tighty's with the pad caused a pretty tight fit, feels good to have a little breathing room.

I am at work with just a wad of tissue paper placed inside underwear. First day away from home without depends--feels great. I am at the 6 month mark and i am at about 95% leakage free. Had 2nd psa reading since RP and im cancer free. Erectile dysfunction is another story.................hopefully one that ends well

I also wear depends guards in
I also wear depends guards in my underwear. Coming up on 7 months and have been doing this for just over a month. Hiowever if I'm out in the yard doing yardwork io still use depends briefs (stilill won't call 'em diapers) with a guard since I tend to still have a fair amount of stress incontinence. Amazing all the great stuff we learn from our experiences with Pc!

I try to refer to my underwear as highly fashionable, disposable underwear. I am at 6 weeks post op; I too have a fair amount of stress incontinence (gettting ready to go camping; yard work;). My surgeon's nurse told me one of the younger guys (late 40's) came in for his post op and tried to illustrate how fashionable they are. I love it. To me the human side of this tells the most important story. Our ability to look this cancer in the eye and say, I am still here.

At 18 months pst RP, I am still wearing pad in my compression shorts when running, excercising or doing some heavier work. I have stress incontinece on strenuous movents, twistings, jumps, while bending down to fasten shoelaces etc. After 7th month , I did not see further improvement. I am now at about 99% and that is my maximum. I can live with this.

Only at work
I wear a small pad at work; however, while at home, the pad is not needed. I will one day build the courage to abandoned the work pad. I am 3 months post surgery. Waking up in the morning dry, is a great feeling. My next test is going guardless while working out.
