Yes, Fox.  They are made with a built-in absorbent pouch made of fabric.
I have found them "Just right" for my level of containment.
Not the cheapest undies around, but they are the most practical.

They make a female version as well if I remember correctly.

Good timing, I think that's what is planned for me Dooc doesn't think the psa tests are always a good indicator, got a referral to 1 quack and was told earliest was next April  :-[

G'day xcvator. sorry to hear about your condition re prostate.

I've been an online viewer but haven't written anything for quite some time.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer about 6 years ago and fortunately it wasn't an aggressive cancer, however, 2 years ago it started to expand and I went from a gleeson 4 to a 7 and after scans to show a spread my urologist advised me a decision had to be made within 3 months. I went the robotic surgery. Cancer PSA tests have been 0.01 ever since but I must admit there were moments I wished for you know what.
I was in hospital for over 3 weeks with complications I won't go into here.

Doing OK now though. Was introduced to a beautiful Thai girl by my neighbour during the big covid lockdown and have since been to Thailand several times eventually getting married and now living happily ever after.

Back to the PSA matter. I would thoroughly recommend to all the male members here over 50 to see your doctor and start at least annually your PSA testing. It's just a simple blood test. Easy peasy. Finding out too late sometimes leaves little alternative but the grave and in most cases prostate cancer can be treated if detected early.

Hope all goes well for you mate and all the others who have made comments.

Cheers

Hi Macca,
You've nailed it.
I can't stress enough, get tested, it's not a big deal.

Cheers.

My GP gives me an annual blood-test anyway, so it's just get the lab to read an extra bit in it!

I do as well, but I need to ensure the Doc has the PSA test on the lab form, as it does not seem to be added automatically.
Be alert and not let things fall through the cracks.

Bloody hell,
Yesterday caught up with a builder(59), I've known for 30 years.
He has started his journey, at this stage it is manageable, because he has got tested, every year and it was detected early.

I would advise starting the PSA testing at 40yrs, 50yrs is way past when things can start going to chit!
