Protective Gear - Depends VS Tena - The results are in!

Looking for feedback on what is the best protective gear for senior riders.
It seems as one gets older the problem of unintentional leakage becomes a problem.
It is a documented fact that gas stations & restaurants outside urban centres are becoming fewer.
I have not seen any “Porta Potties" outside electric car charging stations.
"Pay As You Go" may be a huge revenue stream that Elon Musk is overlooking!
Anyway back to the issue at hand (or is that an issue somewhere else)?
What is the best brand of adult diaper?
Who has the best prices?
How many can you pack in a saddle bag?
Availability in small towns and convenience stores?
Do they help prevent Monkey Butt because of the extra padding?
Will they look good under my custom leathers?

Thane Silliker from London Ontario did a few cross Canada rides in appx 50 hours. He used a catheter with the outflow down near his boot.

I don't know if this is a serious question or not, but I imagine it's one of those things than many older riders are too proud to discuss. Especially if any prostate issues are involved.
Are you in such a hurry that you can't find a private bush to pull over next to? (don't make it too exposed, or you end up on a sex offender list).

This guy talks about his method, utilizing adult garments, a condom and a tube:

Bladder strategy on the superbike grid: Jonathan Rea

Mat Oxley's favourite interview of 2019*: riders discuss race strategies, tyre strategies and electronics strategies, but what about bladder strategy? Let five-time World Superbike champion Jonathan Rea enlighten you
www.motorsportmagazine.com www.motorsportmagazine.com

“Do you want me to tell you a really funny story? I hadn’t gone to pee enough. I was sat on the grid and I was absolutely bursting, so I started to go in my leathers; so much so that it dripped down and there was a small puddle under my bike. They showed the three-minute board, when you have to unplug your tyre warmers, and my chief mechanic Uri [Pallarès] spotted the puddle. He gently tapped my other chassis mechanic: what’s that? He was thinking it’s water or oil, or something else from the bike.”

Rea now mimes Pallarès testing the fluid, by dipping his finger and tasting it.

“Poor old Uri dip-tested it! I won the race, and in parc fermé Uri asked me, ‘you peed on the grid, didn’t you?’, and slapped me! I said, ‘yeah, sorry mate’. It was the first and only time I’ve done that.”

Some of the older versions (depends) needed a strip of duct tape on the outside to block the stream from passing through.
Your best bet if you find some you like is to try them out in the shower first.

I would look into the products made for divers in dry suits. Similar to what wind shear posted. A condom and a tube. Avoids sitting in the waste and the associated problems. If I was doing a multi-day trip, I may alternate solutions as I'm not sure what happens if you wear a condom all day for multiple days in a row.
 
If I were concerned about "leakage" I would try my best to map out my route so I'd be in close proximity to as many restaurants and gas stations as possible. I am sure sitting in your own p!ss for hours at a time would be a quick way to get chapped @ss.

Perhaps carry something like this?

You know your getting old when you stop keeping a condom in your wallet.
And keep adult diapers in your saddle bag.
The problem with a discharge tube is the turbulence created while moving that causes blow back onto your ride.
No one will come near you at Tim Horton"s

If you prefer, you could run the tube to a bag near your boot. Easy to check/change. No discharge at inopportune times or blowback.

I think you'll get the same reaction when they see you wearing a diaper full of p!ss...
As GG stated run it to a bottle or bag.
 
Anybody recommending a catheter tube has never used one voluntarily!

No, not a normal catheter. An outie not an innie. Catheter on the road is asking for infection.

You don't need most of these parts as you aren't fighting external pressure. You could use the condom>hose adaptors and hose.

EDIT:
If a girl wants a solution, glue a she-p to yourself and attach the hose.
 
If you do go the diaper route, get some Ihle's paste, as well. In any case, I'd recommend saving your dumps for the flushies.
 
I honestly can't say that I've ever found myself in a place where there is absolutely nowhere to go relieve myself. Quiet alley, innocuous dumpster, tall weeds, tree(s), a ditch or just with my back towards traffic. All have served me well over the years.

No "performance anxiety" here, or apparently shame either I suppose.
 
Most interesting thread. @guzzirider thanks for sharing, I'm sure this kind of topic isn't easy. Hopefully you find a solution.
I hope I never have to explore any of these options. 🤞

BTW during the pandemic I became quite adapt and finding places to "go" in nature due to social distancing etc etc. Couple of close calls but it all worked out.

Most of us reach an age where dribbles (or more) happen and they can't be controlled. Making accommodation for these issues instead of eliminating activities you love seems like a great plan to me.

Condom Catheters: How to Use, What to Know

Condom catheters are external (noninvasive) urinary catheters that are worn like a condom. They collect urine as it drains out of your bladder and send it to a collection bag strapped to your leg. Learn who's a good candidate for this type of catheter and how to use it.
