Swimming while wearing pad

I swam with my kid's last year even though I was leaking just a bit, and I went with out a pad. I figured not much was coming out and I would visited the bathroom more than normal, but then again I was drinking some beer too. Now if it were the ocean I couldn't care less.

A possibility other than nothing or a condom is a constricting band of some sort, just enough to stop the leak or a penis ring from the pump kit?  It would need to be loosened each half hour or so, but might be a method, if you really have to control it somehow.  I'd tend to try to ignore any minor drips.

MAN -- WHEN I INVITE YOU THREE GUYS TO A BARBECUE AT MY HOUSE SOME DAY, YOU'RE ALL BANNED FROM THE POOL!!!

Hahaha, add me to the ban list too, I guess...

I'm at one pad a day. I don't worry about it at this point. That's what chlorine is for, right? From the horror stories I've heard from people that *have* control, I think a little leak here or there from one of us is just a drop in the bucket, so to speak.

I think it's a bigger problem getting in the pool, and then remembering that you are wearing a pad, which fills up and is then weighing about 5 pounds and making you look a little odd. Trying to discreetly remove that is a challenge - I thought that was what this thread was going to be about...

Hi Paul,

That's why women wear a sarong or wrap around their hips. It camouflages a lot of defects. You may start a new trend for men!

LOL...I used to tell the all the kids the water would turn purple if they peed in the pool...

With one of those luxurious robes...

Hi Paul,
I just got back from a 5 day cruise and had to deal with that very same problem. What I did was wait until just before I went to the pool, I urinated out as much as possible, then put on my suit (with no pad) and headed for the pool carrying a towel (just in case). Once at the pool I dropped the towel on a chair, and got in the water immediately. When I got out I was able to put a good 20-30 minutes or so in the chair, before my suit dried enough so that I was hopping in the pool again. After an hour or so of this, I wrapped the towel around my waist and found the nearest men's room. I found that by repeating this process I was able to spend several enjoyable hours at the pool, and not be worried about showing any leaks. It was not uncommon to see many people at the pool area with towels around their waists, and certainly that would cover the problem.I never thought about a dark bathing suit, but it makes good sense.
On the catamaran side trip we took, it was more of a challenge. For that day I stayed in my clothes until it was time to snorkel and afterwards, I changed back into my clothes for the return trip. I made sure before booking the trip that there would be a changing room or restroom onboard. Good Luck!
Best,

btw, One time on a business trip, the hotel manager came to me and told me he was kicking out one of my engineers out of the pool area for urinating in the pool. Pointing to the large number of kids splashing around in the water, I asked him if he really thought that no one had ever urinated in the pool before. "Of course," he replied, "but not off the diving board."

Mike,
that's a great story... And a good idea on the technique. I would LOVE To be dry by then...it's not out of the question.

BTW - this is our first ever cruise and i was amazed at how inexpensive it was. For two stateroom is 1300 per person for a ten night/eleven day trip. So, for 5600 bucks, we have everything taken care of. We often go to Florida for spring break to visit family. With airfare, car rental and accomodations, it is usually 3000-4000 and that is no food.

But for all the bargains.. my wife now has to buy dresses and stuff for the formal nights. We are really excited. thank god for viagra.

Yes Paul,
Cruising is a great bargain, and you will get hooked. We went on our first in 1989 and said it was a "once in a lifetime" thing. The cruise we took last week was our eighth (with a family reunion cruise planned for next year). Don't forget at least one morning to get up early, go out on deck, and watch the sun come up! My guess is you will be nearly dry by March! Have fun and don't worry!
Best,
Mike

I have a friend in my support group who had it done. had been leaking for five years. He was 100% almost immediately.
Good decision...and good luck. It will be great.
