This may be somewhat repetitive; however, if it helps just a couple of comrades it was worth posting again.

If I was in The US, I would probably opt for the AUS, but Medicare pays for nothing outside of America.

This time I have included more details as to what I'm doing to deal with this frustrating problem. Fortunately we have more choices than our female counterparts when it comes to incontinence devices. I have tried catheter condoms, Depends, every kind of pad, diapers, etc, and find this simple, cheap 'rig' to work the best 'for me'. I only wear briefs since boxer shorts don't keep things in place very well. Spares can be easily be carried in your pocket including a little spray bottle of water to tidy up things in the event that a sink is not nearby. All of this can be flushed down the commode making it far more convenient than pads or diapers. In our warm climate, having your entire bottom drenched in urine is not very comfortable; however, this confines the leakage to just the pecker! If your problem is severe, try 3 paper towels. I have also found that some brands of towels are more absorbent than others. I try to stretch 'the little guy' out to allow the paper towels to be wrapped more tightly. When out and about, I always try to find 'accessible' restrooms since most have sinks, plus the added privacy.

You might give this a try?

Hey guy don’t stress …. I wasn’t gonna reply either but I felt sorry for you and replied anyway . Guess people want to talk about something “ bigger “ and not “ smaller “or “ shriveled “. Yayahahahaya yayahahahaya.

Just kidding …. Your pee posts are very informative, IMHO. I just bought a package of those folding pee cups with the absorbing gel in the bottom … and I bought one of those expanding tubes to try in my truck as well. Dunno if they will work seated in the truck, but I’m gonna try.

So many guys here have trouble just going at all , some of us go every 15 minutes. This is an important topic and your posts have addressed important issues in the subject. Good stuff ronron … stick with it buddy.

💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the encouragement and the condoling reply Bro!

I'm not familiar with the "folding pee cups with the absorbing gel in the bottom … and the expanding tubes"? Are you also experiencing some degree of incontinence?

I’m one of the frequent urinating crowd. Sometimes I can “ go “ every 15-20 minutes or even more often. Then, I don’t shut off reliably… I frequently experience dribbling after I’m done. If I’m driving in the truck, I have to pull over and get out to pee. My mobility is mostly screwed by ADT, nearly an invalid. I can’t stand very long and only walk 10-15 feet at a time without resting. I get out and stand beside the truck , open the suicide doors and stand in between them for a privacy shield and pee in a wide mouth orange juice jug. On a busy , bumper to bumper, California freeway, there is no place to pull over … it’s a serious and urgent issue when I have to go. I’d like to be able to pee while still sitting in the truck , without getting out.

I’ve bought samples of the two portable urinals I mentioned above to give a try … there are many others to check out. You can type “ emergency urinals “ into Amazon to see many choices. I’m hoping one style will work out for me.

Its always something … isn’t it yayahahahaya yayahahahaya

Bro, I am very sorry to hear about what you are dealing with. Have you ever tried an external catheter and bag like the one that I have pictured on my page?

Are you on that nasty Lupron? If so, perhaps you might want to try the tE2 gel that I use.

Ryte on brother … compared to most things I’m dealing with , this stuff is minor with plenty of work-a-rounds. From what I’ve seen on the group, I’m blessed to be going so much, the alternative being difficult or no emptying the bladder at all. Yikes. Emergency room stuff. I also carry a complete porta potty / toilet in the back seat, changes of clothes, sanitary wipes, toilet paper etc. , my seats have “ mess proof “ covers on them. .

Yes I’ve been on Lupron tri-monthly for 44 months …

plus Opioid ingestion, the resultant OIC / required daily laxatives needed to prevent OIC …. All cause very unpredictable BMs … a portable toilet a must when traveling in the truck. I cannot simply park at a fast food store and run inside for a rest room. I can’t jump out of the truck and run into anywhere. I have the folding wheeled transport chair and my big time e-trike on the back bumper when I need to get out of the truck and into a store, restaurants, or a resort motel. Trouble is, it takes nearly 10 minutes to mount or dismount the big trike from the carrier.

I don’t think an external cath is in my future ….ADT has made my “ gentlemen “ disappear up into my abdomen , fighting for real estate with my pelvic tumors and my Johnson has shriveled and withdrawal so much that only part of the head is visible there nowadays. It’s hard enough to find it for basic personal hygiene , I can’t imagine grasping it to install that external cath cup yayahahahaya yayahahahaya.

Then again ….. maybe if I got the hammer to help me , I might attach one of those external cath thingys and add a battery penis pump and drive around town trying to “ enlarge “ the poor bugger. Resuscitate it sort of speak …… Dunno … just say’in. Thinking out loud and all ….. 😂😂😂 yayahahahaya think that sounds weird ? Hummmmmm….

That’s for sure …. plus people are fickle , it’s basic human nature. His “ boobs “ post was great. Guess people like boobs more than shriveled junk. Yayahahahaya yayahahahaya.

I totally agree...I often reframe from clicking the heart since there is nothing to 'LIKE' about someone suffering from this shitty disease! We need to ask Darryl to add a few more buttons like FB has. The majority of the posts/replies are best not acknowledged with a 💙Like. Perhaps, 'Sorry', 'Care', 'Sad', '🙏', 'Hopes', might be more appropriate!

A worthwhile post Ron. Very helpful to those with your experience of incontinence.I am of Kaliber's ilk I think.

I dont leak except a bit of dribble right after I pee. I can either wait on the toilet for the dribble to clear or a lot of times I stuff some toilet paper there to soak it up but its only about 2 or 3 drips then done.

Yea mine is a urethra squeezed by an enlarged, cancer scarred, and maybe some cancer still there prostate. My bladder doesn't empty all the way so it fills up really quick hence I have to go pee often but luckily it isn't leaking out. But if I dont go pee when the "notice to pee" goes off I can easily pee my pants.

I like Kaliber travel with ways to pee in the car. I mean pee in something while I am in the car. I also know the "spots" where I can go when I have to travel from point A to point B.

I remember I guy I met who said he pulls over and lifts the hood on his truck and stands in front of it looking like he's looking at the engine while he pee's lol.

I always wear a men’s Depends light pad in my boxer briefs…with a spare always in my back pocket. The gel urinal bags are genius…took them with me on a cross country train trip so I could skip those middle of the night trips to the lav. Can’t use them sitting down though due to shrinkage. Seems I’m not the only one to have nearly disappeared!
