Recovering from prostate surgery – whether it's a radical prostatectomy (RALP), BPH treatment, or other prostate procedures – brings unexpected challenges. While the surgery addresses your medical concerns, many men face changes in bladder control that can feel like they're limiting the active lifestyle you've worked hard to build.
The good news? Post-surgical incontinence doesn't have to define your limitations. With the right protection, you can return to the activities you love while maintaining your dignity and confidence.
What to Expect After Surgery
After prostate removal or treatment, bladder control issues are completely normal. You might experience:
- Stress incontinence - leaking during exercise, coughing, or lifting
- Post-void dribbling - continued leaking after urination
- Unexpected episodes - sudden leaks without warning
Most men see improvement over time, but waiting months to return to normal activities isn't your only option.
The Real Challenge: Getting Your Life Back
Beyond the physical symptoms, post-surgical incontinence affects your confidence:
- Workout anxiety at the gym
- Declining social invitations
- Intimacy concerns with your partner
- Stress about long meetings or travel
- Sleep disruption from nighttime worries
This isn't weakness – it's a natural response to a major life change. The key is finding solutions that restore confidence rather than accepting limitations.
Your Path Back to Active Living
Early Recovery (First 6 Weeks)
During heavy leakage periods, Menvault's 300ml capacity provides all-day security. Unlike bulky disposables that make you feel like a patient, these boxer briefs look and feel like premium underwear, helping you maintain dignity during recovery.
Recommended activities: Light walking, gentle stretching, short social visits. The compression technology keeps protection securely in place.
Building Confidence (Months 2-6)
As you improve, activity-related leaking may still occur during exercise. Male-specific absorption zones target protection exactly where men leak during movement. Invisible compression technology means returning to the gym, golf, or sports without anyone knowing you're wearing protection.
Full Integration (6+ Months)
Whether you achieve complete continence or maintain a "new normal," you can live fully active. The 12-hour protection eliminates bathroom anxiety during long activities, while odor-blocking layers ensure complete discretion in close quarters.
Reclaiming Specific Activities
Golf: 12-hour capacity eliminates planning rounds around bathroom locations. Handle stress incontinence during your swing with confidence.
Gym: Invisible under even fitted athletic wear. Compression technology prevents shifting during lifting or cardio.
Intimate Relationships: Discrete protection maintains dignity in intimate situations. Many partners never realize you're wearing protection.
Professional Life: Long meetings, presentations, and travel become manageable without bathroom anxiety.
Social Events: Enjoy dinners, movies, and gatherings without constantly calculating bathroom locations.
Beyond Protection: Reclaiming Your Identity
The most significant benefit isn't just physical protection – it's psychological. When you feel secure, you naturally return to being yourself. You stop making excuses, stop declining invitations, and stop letting incontinence control your decisions.
Key advantages:
- Looks and feels like regular underwear – you're not constantly reminded of your condition
- Male-specific design created for men, not adapted from women's products
- Saves over $2,000 compared to disposables over 5+ years
- Investment in your future, not a temporary solution

The 9-layer MultiVault™ protection system and invisible compression technology give you something invaluable: the confidence to live without limitations.
Recovery is a journey, but it doesn't have to be a destination of reduced expectations. With the right protection, your most active and confident years can still be ahead of you.
