WIESNER Incontinence Clamp - Original Wiesner Male Incontinence Clamp - 3 Adjustable Sizes - Comfort and Confidence All Day Long - Wiesner Clamp - Clamp for Incontinence!

My "dribbling problem" arose after prostate cancer treatment with external beam radiation and implantation of radioactive seeds. (Having this treatment was absolutely the worst decision of my life (and I've made some whoppers) -- but that's a story for another day.) The leakage, just a few drops at a time but constant, forced me to use pads, double underwear and other cumbersome, annoying ways of trying to keep dry, but without reasonable success. So I tried a clamp -- my first choice was the Cunningham. Well, it worked okay, but it never was really comfortable. So I tried the Wiesner, and have been very pleased. I can wear it most of the day with reasonable comfort. (It's important to take frequent bathroom breaks to release backed-up urine.) No leakage; easy to apply and take off. Once it's on I can forget about it and stay dry. Just one piece of advice that's not mentioned by the manufacturer or in other reviews: I find that wrapping a small piece of soft tissue like Kleenex around the penis prior to attaching the clamp makes the wearing much more comfortable.LATER: After posting this review, I thought a comment for "newbies" to the idea of wearing an incontinence clamp might be helpful. I came to the idea of an incontinence clamp unwillingly -- it almost seemed barbaric. But the endless dribbling, wearing pads of one kind or another, drove me to it. The first time I put it on, I had visions of medieval torture devices and thought, what am I doing to myself? That frame of mind lasted about an hour or so. After one minute I had no sensation that anything was hanging on one of my favorite organs, and after a couple of hours, with DRY UNDERSHORTS, I realized I had found a valuable help in leading a normal life. (I'd like to reiterate one point I made in the previous paragraph: it helps to wrap a small piece of absorbent Kleenex (even a few squares of toilet tissue) around the penis. Reason: any dampness can cause irritation; that's soft, delicate skin there, guys.)

Clip does not completely cut off dripping. The clip can only be comfortably worn for a couple hours. However the clip itself works well with good construction.

This item does what it is supposed to do. However, for me only good for short periods. Not for extended wear even if you take it off every 1-2 hours. I found the condom sleeve much more comfortable and less chance of a UTI. also my problem is hopefully temporary.

I read the reviews so I thought I would try this. I read the directions and found there was a medium size part in the unit. There were two others as spares. However both were marked S for small. There was no Large size. I received a medium and two small. I wrote to the vendor and they wanted me to take pictures of what I received. I am not computer savvy nor do I know how to send pictures on the internet. I found this to be difficult to use. I put this on and left it on and went about my daily routine. I felt the need to urinate, which I thought I would not feel the need. When I went to a mens room, I found that the device was missing. I looked all over for it. It was not in my bed, nor in my car, nor out front on the lawn. I do not plan to put up a lost and found for a "lost penis clamp". This company must believe I am a liar and was looking for an extra large size clamp that was not in the package. I was hesitant to tighten this too much as I was afraid I might cut off circulation and have to have my member cut off. Now I do not need any spare parts and will look elsewhere. I have no idea where it came off or when since I had slept with it on. If you buy this you may have better luck. The removable plastic parts have a small piece of plastic "flashing" from the "molding process" that might be uncomfortable. This item is Non-returnable. Sorry I did not do more research.

I had a radical prostatectomy about 17 years ago. The surgery only caused a small amount of incontinence until I had a biopsy about four months ago which left me almost entirely incontinent. Since that time, I decided I would order three different types of clamps offering some relief over wearing diapers and/or pads (I was going broke buying them and I hate being wet).First, all the clamps worked relatively well in preventing leaking without a lot of discomfort. But there are some things one needs to do to make them work better. Whenever applied, the penis must be dry otherwise the clamp may slide off thereby causing that wet spot on the front of your pants (very embarrassing). About ever few hours, the clamp needs to be released and repositioned to prevent a lot of discomfort (the thing will really start to “bite”). Once every day or two, one really needs to clean it. How it is cleaned depends on the type of clamp one has. I have found having different types of clamps is useful in that each type of clamp provides pressure in a slightly different way providing a little relief when changing to a different type of clamp. Besides, one really needs a backup clamp in case one fails. All the clamps have a useful life of less that a year if used frequently.Below are my comparisons of three I tested:The Uniclad – 4 out of 5 stars. Pros – is a little more comfortable than the others, is easier to take off and on, is easier to release during urination, is more undetectable when wearing, has cylinder shaped shims for different size penises. Cons – has more of a tendency to “bite” when not repositioned, has to be cleaned with alcohol (don’t use anything having much water), if urine gets on the metal parts, they will rust and fail if not cleaned & dried immediately, one has to be careful when putting in the shims or tearing of the rubberized holders will result, there are tab like extensions at top inside that could cause more discomfort, this device was almost twice the price of the others.The Wiesner – 3 out 5 stars. Pros - almost as comfortable as the Uniclad, has a “V” on the bottom to add pressure directly on the urethra with no additional discomfort, a thick layer of silicon for added comfort, can be cleaned with mild soap and water, is more undetectable when wearing, has a ratcheting mechanism for determining the exact amount of pressure. Cons – a more of a tendency to slip off if wet, the ratcheting mechanism is on the INSIDE of the clamp on one side which adds to the discomfort if it moves and contacts the penis.The Cunningham – 3 out of 5 stars. Pros – has foam rubber making it able to tighten against the penis with more pressure, has a ratcheting mechanism for determining the exact amount of pressure and is on the outside of the clamp, has a “V” on the bottom to add pressure directly on the urethra with no additional discomfort, can be cleaned with soap and water, less of a tendency to slide off. Cons – if it becomes wet or dirty, it is more difficult to clean and dry because of the foam rubber, the foam rubber can become a little abrasive to the skin of the penis, the stainless steel latch mechanism is sometimes hard to “line up” to get latched, the stainless steel latch sometimes has a tendency to rub on the leg providing a little less comfort.All of these device can make the penis a little sore so one needs a “penis break”. When I go to bed, I use pads.Despite some of the problems, any of the devices would be better than buying and changing diapers especially when one is away from home.
