I had my prostatectomy on 8-22-08 and have had no control ever since.
I have experimented with diapers (didn't like that wet feeling), male guards folded and taped in a sheath (very comfortable, most of body stayed dry), Texas catheters with tube and bag (effective but cumbersome), the AlphaDry system (external cath with expandable bag attached) (not bad, all fits inside briefs),and penile clamps.
With various daily combinations of the above, i led an active lifestyle ..... just needed to empty/change every couple hours.
The most comfortable clamp was the the Squeezerklip and also the most expensive (if you choose to buy new). I used it off and on for 6 weeks (it's almost new) , alternating with the Alphadry, and folded male guard sheath.
Then I had an artificial sphincter implanted and haven't needed those 'toys' since.
If you would like any more details on my experiences, please just ask.
