More than once (due to various medical issues) I too have faced this general issue. What to do with one hand / arm totally useless. Luckily I have a wife who totally supports me and she has always 'been-there' to assist me.
One practical suggestion : Get some high quality (Tranquility, Abena, etc et al) PULL UP diapers. You can also use 'booster pad inserts' with them IF you need additional absorbent capacity. I also use plastic over pants with cotton knee pants over the diaper and under the overpants. You can, I am not saying it will be easy, then work the pull ups up your legs to your waist with one hand. Again, this is not an easy thing to accomplish BUT, you can get protection on and that is for sure. These PULL UP diapers are so good that I am amazed at their capacity.
Off your topic.
I am interested to read that (like myself) you can kind of / sort of 'gauge' what you will need for protection any given day or time. My incontinence (like I believe yours) has a life of its own. I have good days (I still wear protection) and I have extremely wet days. I have good nights and I have extremely wet nights. Why? I haven't a clue. I can be incontinent with 4-ounces in my bladder and I can hold up to 12-ounces and even more other times. Why? I haven't a clue.
