Hi Flash
I am now 20 weeks post operation.
Post catheter removal I was using the pull on pants and inserting a smaller pad throughout the day ,which I was replacing up to 4 or 5 times per day .At night it was pants only as I was pretty dry .
I went on Amazon and bought a small quantity of different types of pad to try ,both shapes and absorbency ( they are to suit the different rates of leakage ,low to high)
After 6 weeks I had changed to tight y front pads and the “v shaped pad”,still 4 or 5 pads per day .
My surgeon suggested I increase my pelvic floor exercises to 5 sets per day from 3 (each set is 10 long and 10 short,the Squeezy app can help with timing and act as a reminder which is useful)
At 20 weeks I have just had my first holiday abroad .I am now 2 pads per day ,and unless I am doing something active like a game of golf I am not soaking the pad too heavily .I even managed to swim in the pool without a pad in normal trunks with no leakage ,at least it hadn’t turned Green 😂😂
It is a long slow road to recovery, but most of us with perseverance (keep doing the exercises),should get control back 🙏🙏
Good Luck!
