Hi all- I’m new to this and would appreciate some advice . I’m diagnosed with bph, and have had an ultrasound scan showing enlarged prostate and retention. I get urge incontinence and leak as soon as I feel the need to go. I have been given a supply of shaped pads with fixing pants, whilst I wait for consultant referral to come through. The pads are fine for small leaks, but soon get heavy, and then leak at the sides onto my clothing. I don’t think the pad is full, but doesn’t seem to contain. How do others deal with this- what’s the best way to keep them secure? Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks
I find if you have to use a pad,using the compression pants that sports people wear are so good at keeping the pad in place and are far ahead of net fixation pants which I find just sag when your pad is wet when I wear a nappy I always use a pair of good quality plastic pants as they keep the nappy in place and are good for preventing leaks and odours.
