1. How tightly should I set the pressure of my ?

A. Our philosophy is to accept a little leakage related to "Stress Incontinence." Stress Incontinence means that you leak when you stress your body by making some special exertion such as sneezing, coughing, or lifting something heavy.

We suggest that you accept a minimal amount of leakage resulting from this type of stress, and catch those drips in a safety diaper or pad. A very small baby diaper is less expensive and cushions the ends of the klip. It can be used for two days.

More pressure will result in less leakage, but if the threaded adjustment screw is too tight, it can cause discomfort and swelling. Back off on the pressure and you should be OK.

2. How can I prevent my from being noticeable, and keep it in the correct position?

A. Wear briefs (or jockey shorts). They will keep everything snugly in place. If your klip irritates the inside of your thighs, get a knitted wrist band like you use for tennis. Stretch it out, and slip it over the klip from end to end.

3. Do I need to be concerned about skin irritation when wearing the?

A. Most men converting to the from diapers will have experienced some skin irritation due to prolonged contact with urine. We have found skin irritation problems to be very minimal and many will never have the need for ointment, but you should be aware of the possibility and be prepared to treat it at the earliest opportunity.

Mothers use a 40% zinc ointment for a baby’s rash. You may have used it or some other lotions that prevent irritation. Zinc ointment is only required if you have actual skin damage. The use of ointment during the night (when not wearing The SqueezerTM) may be useful for healing before actual damage occurs. In the morning, simply remove it, and wash with mild soap and water.

4. How do I clean my?

A. The foam used in your is a high density open cell urethane foam. Over time, it is bound to become soiled and have a urine odor.

Wash the klip with a mild soap (ie liquid hand soap), working the suds into the foam. Next, thoroughly rinse it with warm water and repeatedly squeeze out the remaining water. Do not leave any soap residue. Allow your to air-dry over night.
