Men’s Liberty: Navigating the Learning Curve.
Living with urinary incontinence can be challenging, impacting both physical comfort and emotional well-being. For men dealing with this condition, finding effective solutions is essential for maintaining independence and quality of life. One such solution gaining attention is the Men’s Liberty device. While promising, using Men’s Liberty effectively requires navigating a learning curve. In this blog, we’ll explore what this learning curve entails and offer guidance for successfully managing male urinary incontinence with Men’s Liberty.
Understanding Male Urinary Incontinence:
Before delving into the specifics of Men’s Liberty, it’s crucial to understand male urinary incontinence. This condition can result from various factors, including age, prostate issues, nerve damage, or underlying medical conditions. Regardless of the cause, the impact on daily life can be significant, leading to embarrassment, discomfort, and limitations in social activities.
Introducing Men’s Liberty:
Men’s Liberty is a discreet and innovative solution designed to help men manage urinary incontinence effectively. Unlike traditional absorbent pads or catheters, Men’s Liberty offers a non-invasive alternative that allows for greater freedom of movement and improved comfort. The device consists of a secure, external adhesive system that directs urine away from the body, minimizing leaks and reducing skin irritation.
What is a Men’s Liberty Learning Curve?
While Men’s Liberty offers promising benefits, using it effectively requires initial patience and practice. So, what is the learning curve associated with Men’s Liberty?
Simply put – the learning curve is a 2-3 day period needed for you to rid your skin of moisture to ensure the full adhesion time for Men’s Liberty. Your skin holds in moisture, naturally. In addition to the natural moisture content of your skin, the soap lotion, or oils that you use daily can add more moisture to your skin. Men’s Liberty uses a proprietary adhesive called Hydrocolloid. A moist environment will lessen the adhesive qualities of the hydrocolloid. During the first few days of wear-time, you may not have a full 24-hour wear-time from the Men’s Liberty due to the moisture content of your skin.
How can you prepare for the learning curve?
While you wait for your Men’s Liberty supply to arrive, you should wash your anatomy with a non-moisturizing soap. This will help prep the skin for the hydrocolloid adhesive.
As you plan to begin using the Men’s Liberty product, we recommend you reach out to our Medical Product Specialist. You can schedule a product walk-through where the specialist will walk you through the application over the phone and answer any questions.

What to expect during the first few days?
As mentioned, the Men’s Liberty may not stick for the full 24 hours. If the unit falls off, it is important to reapply immediately. Continual usage will ensure the moisture content will level out and Men’s Liberty will be secure for the full 24-hour wear time. During the first few days, you may want to remain at home, just to ensure you won’t have an accident. Once you are confident Men’s Liberty stays on for the full 24 hours, you are free to resume life as normal.
Men’s Liberty and absorbent briefs and pads.
You should never wear a diaper or pad with the Men’s Liberty product, as this will introduce moisture. You should not alternate between diapers and Men’s Liberty, as this too will create an imbalance with the moisture of your skin. It is important to not feel frustrated during the learning curve. The Men’s Liberty Medical Product Specialists are available to help answer any questions that you may have. Feel free to give them a call at 1-888-920-9363 with any questions or concerns.
