I leak when I stand up in a restaurant

I am using Prevail pads 4/5 per day. I change every 2 to 3 hours. When I go out to a restaurant, sitting in a chair urine accumulates in my bladder because my urethra is bent and I leak minimally.

When I stand at the end of the meal the pad is over whelmed and I leak.

Any suggestions?

shift to a pull up diaper or other more absorbent product

You’ve got to step up to a higher level of protection like a brief.

Use the pads when you are not going to be sitting for an extended period of time, but then use a different style product that will provide a great deal more absorption for your restaurant outings. Then you should be OK.
