Sorry if TMI, but I just want you ladies to be aware as you use it of any changes in urine flow. I would hate for anyone else to become as sick as I was that summer.
Having said that, I do still use it when swimming and such on heavier days, as no leaks or anything, and I wish I was still able to use it regularly as it was so much more convienient!!!
