A wonderful invention for men fighting PCa is:

Paper undies!

This statement tested repeatedly and verified by me as truthful as recently as this morning.

What is this...what it is for

Sorry I am a bit naive...

[GranPaSmurf in reply to Karmaji]

Sorry Karmaji. I was just trying to bring a smile to our brothers.

I assume most of you have those little 'accidents'. A bit of inadvertent flow when you have to hold it too long or those dribbles when you think you are done but... you're not...

Right now, I'm in RT, where we need to slide underware down below the buttocks during the treatment. The technicians (more women than men) have to line up the beam with the tattoos that are down in the pubic area. I'm a little sensitive to that proximity and want to be as inoffensive as possible - that's when I started wearing the disposable absorbent briefs daily. Over the past year or so, I've used them sometimes, when the symptoms were worst. Or headed to to some special event.

I assume most of our men are aware of the disposable 'paper undies' and that some make use of them.

I wrote the post after having waited a little over-long in Sunday School class. I had enough of a unexpected flow that I would have just gone home without them.

I thought the 'brief' post might illicit a 'been there - done that' smile from our warriors.

Obviously, I was wrong. Any stab at humor that needs this much explanation is a major flop.

Thanks for humor and personal sharing....

PC is so disturbing touching most personal organs implicating peeing shitting and sex....It needs lot of choiceless awareness.....

I am going thru RT and ladies look at and smile.....

I tell the pretty smiling ladies Wow ....you see so many varieties......

As Jacques Brel sang.....on se habitue à tout

....one gets adjusted to all.....plasticity of human mind

The key is stay upbeat...it is all in the mind

life is as it is...

But thru mind window we can make it ever joyful...

An old Upnishad saying

SAT CHIT ANAND

When mind (chit) is melted into life force.(sat)..some may call it god or prayer..

there is only eternal joy.(anand).....

Oh ...... NOW I get it ....

Tattoos , pubic area ....buttocks .... of course !!

I thought you were wearing them on your head .... you know .... those strawberry , cherry and licorice edible ladies undies .... wow , missed that a mile.

Peace brother ....✌️

I lost any shyness about the pubic area when I started having cystoscopies. The nurses at my urologist's office are not only well acquainted with my equipment, but are there to watch as the doctor puts the scope into it and I squirm in pain. What used to be my penis is now just a glorified and overgrown skin tag, nothing to see here...

[Drphil1938 in reply to GranPaSmurf]

I am sure J-O-H-N can help you with the humor. 🍸🍸🤠

[Kaliber]

Well paper undies makes perfect sense to me , brother GPS.

That and a toilet with one of those butt squirters too.

Every time I remember how PCa screwed I am .... I just $hit myself , and paper undies are perfect. Undies on a roll ( Squeezable Charmin undies ) a bonus for frequent fliers.

Wear double lined paper undies when you let those gut plugging pain meds wear off and you remember how screwed your are again... when the pains jack you up again ...

Wonder if they have those at the big lots store ? Extra absorbent xxxxxxxxxl size a plus.

Thanks for the heads up GPS

Just say’in ....

[GranPaSmurf in reply to Kaliber]

I buy in bulk at Costco.

[tango65 in reply to GranPaSmurf]

what brand?

[Hidden]

Alas not so funny are the huge numbers of men who succumbed to the "Cut and Burn!" and the "Get it all!" money-grabbing mob and who now need nappies. Look at the numbers - no long term benefit! All that aggro and embarrassment for nothing! But if we do not speak out, these malpractices will continue and the next wave of victims will arrive on this forum already irrevocably damaged.

Some of you should be looking for money to ease the fall-out of such "mistakes". At least enough to pay for a lifetime supply of paper nappies. Or make a Web site that says "Avoid these Doctors".

Hint- you can usually tell by the car they drive when you arrived for your first appointment what to expect.

It's pads for me, day and night. Overcame shyness long ago...

[GeorgesCalvez]

I used the Tena men pants for the first few weeks after the day when my catheter came out, then I switched to pads.

I then switched back to the pants for the radiation as they were easy to roll down etc.

Thankfully I am now down to the very lightest pad which I wear as a safety device now.
