Hey all,
Well, looks like im eating crow somewhat, and giving mens liberty another shot. The reason is because my bladder is going haywire, and its either wear the liberty, or use and wash a bunch of diapers, or throw away a bunch of disposables. I don't know if this will be an every day thing, but at least for now for the very heavy days it should give me repirve im hoping. This would be strictly at home use. Ill let you now how everything goes.
Peace out!

After trying several different "solutions" for my incontinence (caused by the removal of my prostate) I've found that for me, Men's Liberty is the best answer to this problem. And as a vet, the VA pays for these! Medicaid and your insurance will also pay for these! But Medicaid and your insurance will not pay for diapers or pads for some reason. (However, the VA pays for everything!) Men's Liberty costs about $10 each, and you receive about 30 of them each month in a plain brown box. They also offer a few other products that will help those with incontinence.
I've had good relations with the company and have no issues with either the product or the company, which is based in Florida. If you have any questions before, or when using Men's Liberty, you can call their free "nurse hotline" for quick help. It does take a few days to get used to applying Men's Liberty, and you must follow directions exactly for them to be effective. They are normally worn for 24 hours (however, I've had them last up to three days. After using them for several months now, I've never had any pain, irritation, etc by using these. and one size fits all. Really! They take only a few minutes to attach, and they come off easily in the shower.
TIP: I use them alone mostly during the day since they can be emptied easily every few hours. But at night, or when I may have a nap, or fall asleep watching TV, I switch to a normal bed bag at night which will hold everything I output all night. It's easy to "switch the plumbing" from the small Men's Liberty default bag to a larger standard leg bag and regular bed bag like they use in the hospital. And in my case, the VA supplies everything I need at no cost.
The Bioderm/Men's Liberty company have many videos on Youtube that fully explains and shows you how to use these. You can also check out their website at MensLiberty.com.
I know what you are going through with incontinence, and wish you all the best!
