Congratulations!!! You are well on your way. When you can start wearing a pad twice it is time to switch to a handkerchief.
Re: your comment about
cabinetry. I have found the best way to prevent cabinetry corrosion is to pee in a 16 oz red solo cup! I keep one on the back of the toilet. Pee in the cup, and pour it down the sink, and rinse the cup in the sink to "flush". There is no mess on the seat or floor and it uses less water too.
The cup offers another advantage:
you can go mobile. (If your wife is not home!!!)
