Opinions On PureWick?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a leaky bladder and am looking for an alternative to wearing fat underwear. I’ve used Purewick, an external catheter system that whisks
away urine, while in the hospital for nerve surgery, and it was a great relief and a boost to my dignity. Anyone out there have experience with using Purewick at home? I’m wondering about both the logistical and health aspects of such a system. Thanks, cheers and hugs. ☘️🌹☘️ — Peggy

I have also used Purewick in the hospital, and I loved it. But I have questions about using it in home or out. I would think that it would be inconvenient since you have to have a vacuum to suck up the urine. However, thinking about my experiences in the hospital, I didn't know about the vacuum until my last two times in the hospital.
