Each protective cover can be worn until the absorber has reached its full capacity or feels wet. Depending on personal preferences and how much you drip, you may want to exchange the cover one or more times a day. Each cover can be worn for a maximum duration of 24 hours but should be replaced as needed. As the absorber inside Contend absorbs urine, it expands. Once Contend has reached its full maximum capacity of 125 ml, it will have expanded 3-4 cm, which means that there is less room for the penis inside the pocket. It may at this point also feel wet and heavy. You should always remove Contend if your skin becomes irritated.
