Hey everyone
I just wondered whether any of you use condom catheters from time to time? I predominantly wear diapers, however from time to time if I get a rash I will try and give my skin a breather and wear a condom catheter for a few days instead with a leg bag. The Conveen self adhesive ones are readily available on eBay.
The only downside I find is they are supposed to stay stuck for 24 hours, but more often than not they will come unstuck or there'll be a kink in the tube causing the condom bit to fill up and the pressure kinda makes it come off or come loose. Anyone got any tips for that?
I did read about regular foley catheters on here but I'm not sure they're a good thing to try without a doctor's note. Though the bit that would appeal is a potential break from the urge to go as I presume my bladder would be empty all the time. That said I don't think I fancy the risk of an infection!
