I Had A Radical Laparoscopic Prostatectomy 2 Years Ago. I

I had a radical laparoscopic prostatectomy 2 years ago. I had minor leakage before the surgery and it became more severe. After surgery and catheter removal, I used heavy incontenance shorts for a few months. I then went to the 17? Ounce heavy pads for about a year. I got down to 1/day. I purchased them locally. When they became unavailable locally, I went to the lighter 6-7 oz pads and go through 2-3/day. I have done kagel exercises since the surgery. At night time, I wear none and have no trouble through the night.

With summer coming, I am sometimes not where I can change pads in middle afternoon. Any suggestions?
