Can’t help with the second part, as I live in SW Florida.
I had an AUS implanted on March 28th. Prior to this, I was soaking 4 to 8 adult guards a day, more if I golfed, and had been for about 5 years since my radical prostatectomy in 2017.
Since then, I might wet one light duty depends mens shield per day, maybe 2 if I golf. It has been fabulous.
The surgery was a breeze, recovery was a bit challenging because I ripped the stitches out of my wound(big mistake on my part), and all in all, I couldn’t be happier. It really makes life easier. I’m the kind of guy that not a whole lot gets me down, but having wet “diapers “ all day long was really getting on my nerves. I’d leak every time I stood up, etc. Now, I stay dry most of the day.
I’m not 100% dry all the time, but I would say at least 95%….. Would do it again, without hesitation.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.
