Having bought the Dribblestop, I feel totally liberated. The inventor deserves a knighthood in my opinion. The device is really easy to wear, causes no chafing or other problems, and I have just gone through airport security twice without detection, so no worries there! I really don't notice I'm wearing it, although obviously you do need to get the adjustment right. Once that's done you hardly need to alter it ( but it's very easy to do). I don't wear it at night as when in a horizontal position there is no bladder pressure to worry about, but I have been wearing it all day. The only thing to remember is to use the wc fairly often. It's a two handed operation, one to click "open the tap" so to speak, the other to direct the aim! All perfectly easy. Not wanting to build up bladder pressure I try to go every couple of hours or so, whether I feel the need or not (and it's usually not). I regard it as being a bit like wearing specs- it becomes part of the daily routine. And actually it helps when doing the pelvic floor exercises. A great product and well worth the cost, particularly once you find that you hardly need to buy lots of incontinence pads etc- I use one just for peace of mind- maybe just one level 2 pad a day, and one at night. Review: Works if you can stand the pain - The product works fine but I found it really uncomfortable after a couple of hours. I found that my underwear causes the clamp to twist sideways and it digs into the surrounding skin eventually being forced off the penis with the ensuing deluge of urine. If you walk around with no pants on and don't sit down it works fine for a long as you can stand the pain. I gave up trying to use it.

A very useful gadget
I became incontinent 15 years after prostatectomy, following an operation to remove a stone from my bladder. This stretched the one remaining sphincter beyond help, except by an operation, which, at 86, I am not too keen to have. This Dribblestop has really helped. Instead of four or five big pads a day, and all the problems of that when away from home, I can use this gadget with a small light pad, and just have a pee when convenient (but best not to leave it more than say two hours). The instructions are easy to follow. If you set it up using the inside notch, you can saw the outer notch off with a hacksaw to reduce the overall width a bit. Clean it with water every night. Give your penis a rest at night. Be careful not to adjust it too tight. Drink plenty of water, and "never pass a toilet when travelling".
