I had the exact same thing! Been playing with catheters for a while and never really had an issue... Always used sterile gloves, completely sterile brand new catheters and sterile lubricant. Oh and drinking cranberry juice. Didn't have an issue for quite a few sessions then one day after I removed it I got an infection in my right testicle, blood in my urine etc. Was incredibly painful, ended up on endone in Hospital on IV antibiotics as I became septic with a constant heart rate over 100 for 3 days straight

I had blood as well when I tried an 18FR silicone one, I now use a 14FR and its perfect. Its normal to get a bit of blood though, remember it dilutes with urine so it can look worse than it is.

I just got a carton of 40 ABU Space nappies, looking forward to trying them this weekend for a bit of fun

I tried instillagel which is an anaesthetic and to be honest it didn't feel much different and tends to all ooze out again rather than going far down. I used Optilube and it worked fine, any lubricant seems to but it is very important to remember you should be using single use sachets of it not a tube as you are risking cross contamination. It is only sterile from first opening. The one good thing about Instillagel is it is an antiseptic as well so best suited for longer sessions as it aint cheap either.

Haven't heard back from anyone via PM,

Sure, love riding! I am out in the East as well incase anyone was wondering

From what I have read the bladder does stretch to capacity and over time it can become larger, if you did it for a long time it may reduce in size leading to needing to urinate more often. Not sure about weakening but like all muscles they need exercise to prevent atrophy. I tried a silicone FR18 a couple of weeks ago and ended up with some light bleeding so I have gone back to FR14. Did not have much luck with the extra holes the 2nd time around just can't get a good flow coming out. Trying a FR14 hooked up to a 2lt bed bag for something different tonight

As the title says, it sure gets lonely with these unique interests, hoping there might be someone on here in Melbourne who is interested in just

Well Ill jump in and offer some tips based on what I have found. I tried the ICE method but it was annoying and messy, easiest method I found is...light! I either do it 2 ways, basically you use a small 3 digit combination lock, lock it and you are stuck there until the sun comes up, or the more flexible method is to use a timer set to whatever you want to turn the lights on, I always have a redundancy though just incase

Just purchased some Instillagel:

Hi All, Just signed up but been visiting for a while, just wanted to say thanks for the thread, had my first cath session the other day and tried this and wow what an experience! I have since changed things up a bit also since I am into medical play and also fitted a feeding tube at the same time. Was an amazing night having no control and being constantly hydrated by the feeding tube at the same time! If anyone has any questions about fitting feeding tubes etc, feel free to ask
