Fortis ad: David M

I've tried four different things for my bladder leaks since my prostate surgery. Here's an honest comparison of what worked and what didn't. My name is David. I'm 65. Retired electrician out of Nashville, Tennessee. Married to my wife Karen for 34 years. I had my prostatectomy two years ago. Cancer's gone. The leaks never stopped. I've spent two years and over $2,800 trying to fix them. Here's what I spent it on. Thing 1: Kegel squeezes. Cost: $0. Result: partial. Did them every day for eleven months. They took me from five pads a day to three. Genuinely helped for the first few months. Then plateaued and nothing changed for the next eight months no matter how consistently I did them. My urologist said keep going. I kept going. The number stayed at three. Verdict: good starting point. Not enough on their own. The muscle needs more than just squeezing against nothing to keep getting stronger. Thing 2: Medications (Oxybutynin). Cost: ~$160 over 5 months. Result: side effects worse than the leaks. Doctor prescribed it to calm the bladder. Made me so dizzy I grabbed the counter every time I stood up. Dry mouth so bad I couldn't swallow food without water. And the brain fog — I'd walk into a room and forget why I was there. Three or four times a day. Stopped after five months. Leaks came right back to exactly where they were. The medication was masking the symptom. Not fixing a thing. Verdict: wouldn't recommend. The side effects alone rule it out. Thing 3: EMS device. Cost: $310. Result: uncomfortable and temporary. Bought an electrical muscle stimulation device online. Required an internal probe. I opened the box. Looked at the probe. Read the instructions twice. I used it once. Once. The concept of inserting a probe and having electrical current pulse through my pelvic floor was something I could not get past. I tried. I genuinely tried. I sat in my bathroom for twenty minutes telling myself to just do it. I did it. And I never did it again. The one session I did felt like the muscles were being forced to contract. Not building anything — being moved. Like someone picking your arm up for you and calling it a bicep curl. The moment the device was off, nothing felt different. Because nothing had been built. The muscle had been moved, not strengthened. It's in a drawer. $310 drawer ornament. Verdict: if you can tolerate the probe, maybe it helps some men. I couldn't get past it. And passive contraction isn't the same as building real strength. Thing 4: Fortis Control Trainer. Cost: $79. Result: no pads in 6 weeks. Karen found it. She'd been searching at night for weeks without telling me. She showed me one morning over coffee. Simple device. Two padded arms. Built-in digital counter. You place it between your knees and squeeze against real resistance. Your inner thighs and your pelvic floor train together — both parts of the system that controls your bladder. Every rep. I thought it looked too simple. But simple is what I needed after a probe I couldn't use and a pill that made me forget my own name. Five minutes a day. Three sets of ten. Sitting in my armchair while the coffee brewed. No insertion. No electrodes. No wires. No app. Nothing to plug in. Nothing to charge. Nothing to insert anywhere. $79. One time. 30-day guarantee where you keep the trainer even if you want a refund. Week one. Still three pads. But the squeeze felt completely different from Kegels. Both parts of the foundation engaging together. The muscle being challenged, not just activated. Week two. Two pads. The muscle was already responding. Already adapting. Something eleven months of squeezes never achieved. Week three. One pad. I sneezed getting out of the truck at the hardware store and nothing happened. I stood in the parking lot and checked. Dry. First time since my surgery. Week four. One pad, barely needed it. More habit than necessity. Week six. No pad. Slept through the night five times that week. I drove to my buddy Ray's house to watch the Titans game. Sat on his couch for four hours. Drank two beers. Didn't get up once except at halftime. Karen booked us a trip to see our daughter in Knoxville. Two-hour drive. No stops. No planning. No spare pads in the glove box. Just drove. $79 once. No subscriptions. No replacement parts. No ongoing cost. Here's the comparison that matters: Squeezes: free but plateaued at three pads. Medication: $160 and side effects that scared me. EMS device: $310 and a probe I used once. Fortis: $79 and no pads in six weeks. Plus I was spending $95 a month on pads. The Fortis paid for itself before the first month was over. Everything after that is money I'm not spending anymore. Let me put that another way. In the two years before Fortis, I spent roughly $2,800 trying to fix the leaks. Squeezes, medications, EMS, pads. $2,800 and I was still at three pads a day. Fortis cost me $79. And I haven't bought pads since. I need to mention — there are cheap copies on Amazon that look similar. Different materials. Flimsy. They break within weeks. The one that worked for me is from tryfortis.store. That's where the 30-day guarantee applies. If you've been through the cycle — squeezes that plateau, medications with side effects, devices that are invasive or overpriced — this is what finally worked. Not the most expensive thing I tried. Not the most complicated. Not the most impressive looking. Just the one that actually stopped the leaks. 15,000+ men have used it. $79 once. 30-day guarantee where you keep it no matter what. Ships in a plain unmarked box. Simple printed instructions. Here's the link: https://tryfortis.store/products/fortis-control-trainer — David M., Nashville, Tennessee P.S. — Squeezes: $0.
