Is Dribblestop or Contino Right For You?

Urinary incontinence can be a frustrating and often embarrassing condition, affecting many men’s confidence and their quality of life. Luckily, innovative non-surgical solutions are helping them regain control.

Two options – Dribblestop and Contino – offer effective and convenient ways to manage urinary incontinence, without needing any pads or invasive procedures. We will take you through how each device works, their key benefits, and how they compare to each other, so you can make an informed decision about which solution may be right for you.

Dribblestop For Urinary Incontinence

Firstly, the Dribblestop male urinary incontinence clamp is a discrete, non-invasive solution designed to help men manage bladder leakage effectively and comfortably, particularly after prostate surgery or due to other incontinence conditions.

It gently applies pressure to the penis, specifically the urethra, to stop urine flow without affecting blood circulation, which allows users to go about daily activities without any discomfort.

Dribblestop: How Does it Work?

The device consists of two plastic arms, lined with medically approved closed-cell foam. This foam ensures that the clamp is comfortable and does not absorb moisture, keeping the area dry and making it easy to clean.

Its custom-fit design is adjustable to suit men of any size with comfort and precision. It comes with various-sized links to ensure a comfortable fit, and it is safe to wear for extended periods, including during activities like running or travelling.

How Can Dribblestop Help Me?

The Dribblestop clamp offers several benefits for men dealing with urinary incontinence, such as the following:

Perfect Fit: Adjustability is critical to ensure men of all sizes can feel secure. The Dribblestop clamp can be custom fit to apply the right amount of pressure without discomfort, stopping urine leakage in its tracks. This makes it safe for extended wear, including 24/7 use.
Non-Invasive: As an external device, Dribblestop helps manage incontinence without the need for further surgeries or invasive procedures, making it a suitable option for those who wish to avoid additional medical interventions.
Discrete and Portable: Feeling comfortable in daily activities with a male incontinence device should be a given. That’s why the Dribblestop is sculpted from high grade medical foam to be soft, hypoallergenic, non-absorbent, and washable
Confidence and Good Hygiene: Many users report significant improvements in their daily lives, including the ability to resume physical activities, travel, and social interactions without the fear of leakage

Managing Symptoms With Contino

The second option for managing urinary incontinence is Contino, a simple device that blocks the flow of urine, without surgery. It is a novel, comfortable, and effective way to deal with bladder leakage. With Contino, you can rapidly reduce your diaper and pad usage, regain freedom, and live with dignity.

The incontinence device physically blocks the flow of urine so that you can reduce or even eliminate your need for diapers or pads. It is small, compact, and fits into a case the size of an eyeglass container, so you can take fresh inserts with you and maintain an active lifestyle. No need to worry about bulky pads, potential odors, or leaks.

Contino is different from other options because it temporarily blocks the flow of urine, instead of capturing it in an adult diaper or a bag.

How Does Contino Work?

With Contino, there is no surgery or complicated procedure required. Firstly, you will have a consultation with a medical professional, who will ask you basic questions to understand if your specific type of incontinence could be managed by Contino, or if another treatment option will be better.

If the product is approved for you, they will guide you on how to use Contino. Essentially, you self-insert the device into your urethra and remove it prior to urination. It is easy, comfortable, and convenient.

Benefits of Using Contino for Urinary Incontinence

Contino allows you to control when you urinate, avoiding inconvenient and embarrassing messes. You simply remove the device when you need to urinate and reinsert afterwards. No adult diapers or bags are required.

In comparison to other urinary incontinence products and methods, Contino has been proven to have the following benefits:

Clinically proven to reduce bladder leakage
Can be used continuously, removing only to urinate
Fits in pocket-sized carrying case
Does not require surgical intervention
Cleans easily with water
Not associated with significant ongoing discomfort or pain
Not associated with skin irritation or damage

Which One is the Right Option For My Urinary Incontinence?

Depending on your specific situation, one option may be more beneficial than the other. Candidates for the Dribblestop penile clamp may include:

Post-Prostate Surgery Patients: Men who have undergone prostate surgery often experience urinary incontinence, and Dribblestop can help manage this condition.
Athletes or Active Individuals: It is especially beneficial for men who want to remain active while managing incontinence, such as runners or those engaging in physical activities.
Men Looking to Avoid Surgery: Men who prefer to avoid further surgical treatments for incontinence may use the Dribblestop as an alternative to invasive procedures.

Similarly, Contino is a good treatment option for all men following prostate surgery for BPH, and especially for prostate cancer.

All men who undergo a radical prostatectomy will have several months of urinary stress incontinence. In some cases, it may be permanent. During recovery, Contino is a great option until pelvic muscles have been rehabilitated with Kegel exercises and physiotherapy.
