I found this version to be the most comfortable, https://www.amazon.com/Trainer-Comfortable-Prostate-Massager-TJIJP/dp/B0DPLT8DZS/ref=sr_1_15? Because it is soft you may need something firm that fits inside the plug to assist with the insertion. The small version is too small for me.

I have IBS and being loose is normal for me. While I do not use a tunnel plug often it offers a very strange feeling when you suddenly make a mess in your diaper.

DailyDL if someone hasn't all ready suggested this, using the treatment codes from the treatment plan your dentist provided go to https://www.dentalplans.com/ or call them to ask what the discount plan would do for you. Call them and ask what your cost would be using their plan. Its not insurance, its a discount plan. Don't buy any plan until you confirm your dentist will accept the plan. The plan cost me less than $200. I have several implants and have saved thousands using dentalplans dot com. I have no affiliation with this company, just to the cold cash in my wallet. And I hate paying full price for anything! Good luck, I've had some ugly extractions that I will not forget.

Thanks for the tip on the tracking info!

NappiSam, congrats on the success but lets back track some and discuss the hospital visit with a UTI. Please take your time and wash everything in the genital area first. Read up on the use of supplements such as cranberry pills or D-Mannose tables to help prevent a UTI and most importantly drink plenty of fluids maybe some cranberry juice. A UTI can quickly become serious matter as I figure you know by now. Most of us stent users can get by with zero infections practicing a safe cleaning routine with lots of fluids. Be safe.

Interesting stats. Has anyone ever used the wayback machine? It allow you to view old websites that may no longer available. For instance here is DPF from way back. https://web.archive.org/web/20050831011609/http://www.dpf.com/ Cool looking at the old stuff, Oh wait, I'm old too.

Hey just a quick message to say, I for one enjoy your updates. My home situation does not permit me to partake in daily stent use but I enjoy reading your updates. Looking forward to seeing what comes back from from Silicon Nozzle.

Nappisam, why should there be any ill feelings towards you? I had a homemade stent get lost on me too. It proved to be a very embarrassing day at the emergency room. Fortunately they were able to fish it out of me without cutting. I also use a Foley catheter cut to 4.5". My go to size is an 18FR with a 5ML balloon inflated to the equivalent of a 30FR cath. I use a screw cap with a center hole for drainage to cover the cut end. As for plugging the fill line I found 18 gauge stainless steel wire at the craft store. For safety and easy removal I use sewing thread doubled up and tided to a O ring that fits over my shaft. Takes me about five minutes to make one. For reuse I first wash the stent with an antibacterial soap before storage. When I'm ready for reuse the stent is soaked in 99% alcohol for ten minutes and allowed to air dry before insertion. As for discomfort I find the more I use a stent the less I notice it all.

For what its worth, about $10.00 a gallon try some liquid plumber. If there is a clog in the piping it may work it loose. A house call for a plumber will easily be a few hundred.

Just north of Phila here. I went out to fill the bird feeders, at 11AM it was 12 deg F today. Within five minutes being outside without gloves my fingers were showing the early signs of frostbit. I quickly found some warm gloves.

Already have the snow blower fueled up and in the garage. With the addition of sever icing added to our local forecast I'm thinking of bring the generator in from the barn now. Plus get some extra gas on hand just in case an extended power outage. With this kind of weather I may start suffering from PMS anytime now. For those that don't ride that's Parked Motorcycle Syndrome. What did you think I meant?

Mostly the free shipping, some prime videos. Would be nice if the offer a free shipping package without the music and video for a lower cost.

I use the same design using a 18FR cath. To fill I use sterile KY lube. The balloon when filled is about equal to 24FR in size. The sterile lube being much thicker that water and is slower to leak plus safe if it does leak. 1/8/25 correction, the 24FR balloon has become too small to stay in place. I have increase the balloon size to 30FR or roughly 10.2mm. I have plenty of urethral play experience so the larger size will not be an issue for me. As always play safe.

So you place this stent and forget about it. No weekly / monthly cleaning. OK then. Be safe.

Faint at heart,,,, I'll say. You are not using a retrieval line. I guess I have to catch up on my reading here.
