Recommended wear time is 24 hours. One Men’s Liberty is designed to be worn for up to 24 hours. A patient can wear Men’s Liberty all day and all night. Many Men’s Liberty users suggest changing Men’s Liberty first thing in the morning, or after they take a shower.

Men’s Liberty can be removed using FreeDerm adhesive remover. FreeDerm comes in a spray bottle and releases Men’s Liberty immediately. FreeDerm is extremely skin friendly and leaves no residue. Once applied to the skin, FreeDerm flash dries and doesn’t require washing. You can immediately apply your next Men’s Liberty unit. While FreeDerm is recommended to remove Men’s Liberty, if you do not have FreeDerm, you can remove Men’s Liberty by soaking in warm water. Be sure to never pull or tear Men’s Liberty off the skin. If Men’s Liberty is still sealed to the skin in some spots, soak for a little while longer. It can take up to 15 minutes to release the seal with water, so patience is important here!

How frequently you will need to empty the bag will vary by individual. We recommend that the bag be emptied when it is about 2/3 full. You do not want to overfill the bag or it will back up and cause it to leak. For men who need additional urine storage, the small pouch can be connected to any standard leg or bedside urine bag.

If your patient has an allergy or sensitivity to tape, we would recommend doing a skin test before using Men’s Liberty. Simply cut a small piece of hydrocolloid (the adhesive) off a faceplate seal and place it on the inside of the patient's forearm just below the elbow. If after about 3-4 hours there is no sign of irritation, you should be fine to use the product.

Uncircumcised men may use Men’s Liberty as long as they can retract the foreskin to expose the head of the penis. We suggest using a KindKlamp or penile clamp to hold the foreskin back during the application. If they cannot retract the foreskin, we do not recommend attaching Men’s Liberty overtop the foreskin without consulting a physician.

The Men's Liberty uses a gentle and moveable adhesive called hydrocolloid. If not removed properly with FreeDerm, adhesive remover, or warm soapy water, small amounts of the adhesive can create a build-up layer on the skin even if you can't see it.
Periodically, you can soak the tip of the anatomy with FreeDerm and wrap a warm wet washcloth around the head to break up and hydrocolloid adhesive build-up.

Long-time users should try this method to break up adhesive build-up if they are having a reduction of wear time or leaking at the adhesive.

What time do you apply Men’s Liberty?
You may want to try applying Men’s Liberty in the early morning because the patient's body may hold less moisture.

How many times have you used Men’s Liberty in a row without using another product?
We do not recommend jumping back and forth between products. It generally takes 2 to 3 applications to bring the skin back to its original state.
Repeated applications allows the hydrocolloid adhesive in Men’s Liberty to bond to the skin and give you the 24 hour wear time that you are looking to achieve. When you stop using Men’s Liberty and go to another product such as diapers or diaper pads your skin becomes saturated and the skin repair process starts over. The skin has to be brought back to it’s original state in order for the adhesive to bond properly.

Is the patient leaking urine?
In order for the product to stick, the skin has to be clean and dry when applying Men’s Liberty. Lying down may reduce the amount of urine that leaks
out when applying. We recommend using a KindKlamp to temporarily stop the flow of urine.
