I knew I could count on you guys for just the right bit of perspective!

I've been holding out on an update because I had a bad/frustrating day a couple of weeks ago and wanted to see if it was a fluke...

The idea isn't to interrupt your wetting, it's to interrupt your sleep so that you can wet, rather than involuntarily holding it until you wake from the pain of a full bladder.

Unless you're wearing REALLY tight pants (ie spandex) the receptacle doesn't show at all, and if it did, it'd just look like you're well endowed The bag literally hangs from the receptacle. It has straps that allow it to be attached to the brief, but they recommend only using them for times when you're highly active, ie sports. I haven't used them yet. I just let the bag hang, and its been working great. The only thing I'd like to try different is the bag itself. They make a "vented" bag, which is supposed to let excess air purge from the bag without allowing liquid to pass. I find that, when I'm up walking around a lot, the bag draws air and swells. I worry that'll cause a leak, but so far it hasn't... MDL

Reading BabyBrian's accounts of his trials with urge incontinence, it certainly isn't what I would want.

Everyone's idea of "cheap" is different, but I love these.

I think this is one of those questions that has a wide variety of very personal responses, and no "wrong" answers...

Shy of a foley catheter, no.

Blake,

I've traveled quite a bit, though never for a month.

I'll add a "me too," here.

Update

LOL!

I'm WAY overdue for an update

@Dill_Pickle, what sources do you like for buying external catheters?

Wolf, I've used Foleys, but really don't like them.

I've definitely reached a bit of a plateau.
