I bounce in my crib and giggle with glee, then I squirt a big warm pee. My life's now so rosy, 'cause my di-pee's so warm, soft and cozy. A stinky brown bunny hops out of my tummy and fills my di-pee full. It'll squish and slide and crush my pride and surely that's no bull.

I would also like a cabin in the mountains near a lake.  No people for miles so I can be outside in just my diaper and swim naked.  2nd best, which I'm gonna do this summer, is to park near a lake with my RTT, and be outside in just my diaper, and swim naked in the lake.

So I did a thing. An experiment. I purchased ptfe piping with 1mm walls to fit inside my stent. Very bendy and malleable. I wanted to see if my stent was collapsing or kinking to cause it to not always passively drain in bed or while seated in a car. With the stent out I put it through several stress tests and in all of the tests it never lost patancy or stopped flow. It could not be folded shut and no force I exuded would collapse the wall of the ptfe pipe frame. This stent was bulletproof. It could adjust to any shape and it could not be stopped.   so then I put it in for real life experimenting. It was “present” feeling and I might have gotten use to it eventually, but it never lasted that long and I will explain why. It did do some things well. It held the sphincters open more consistently and so the drip when standing was more pronounced than the silicone only stent. This meant the length was good and the mechanical bridge between sphincters was solid. And yet, it performed in the car and while lying down identically to the stents with no frame…. 0 difference. This tells me something. The stent is not the issue. It is positional occlusion. Soft tissue is covering the distal end of the stent creating a valve. Lifting my postier in the car opens that valve and allows immediate drainage. This also tracks with what @BrownBobby reported that even with the surgery he doesn’t always drain passively when in bed or while lying down. That makes me think even a pezzer end with three holes wouldn’t make a difference, but given my allergy to latex and the fact pezzers don’t come in silicone i am unable to make that experiment. Some people’s anatomy just closes off passive drain in the urethra even if the sphincters are open.    so what is the take away? Even if I spent hundreds on a reinforced stent it would not change the failure conditions that are positional in nature. It means my stent is as perfect as I can make it. It also means my stents cost VERY little to build, are repeatable and comfy.    that was the take away for me. The take away for you stentiers is that you need to consider sometimes an issue is not your stent itself if your are hitting roadblocks. Carefully isolate variables and see where the real problems are. Sometimes the roadblock is beyond your control to fix.
