Spent a week on ciprofloxacin, seems to have kicked it. While I had one tablet left, I thought I should try one more time. So this time, I took the last cipro, then took a D-mannose supplement, then took out an all-steel version of the cage that has the stent/sound permanently fused onto the device. No silicone involved. So I put that into my water kettle and boiled it for 20 minutes straight, completely submerged. Then I washed my entire area with anti-bacterial soap and dried it off. Then I took 91% isopropyl alcohol onto a fresh towel and wiped the entire meatus down. Burned quite a lot, but that's okay. Then I put on gloves, and poured some silicone lubricant (with no glycerin) into them, and coated the stent portion and inserted it. Finally, I wiped down the outside of the cage with the alcohol to make sure it was clean. This steel stent is about 30% shorter in length, and a lot less uncomfortable. Left it in for an hour. Voiding was painless and felt natural this time. The entire time I drank a ton of fluids. No blood after I took it out. Then I took another D-mannose supplement and made sure to void right away to try and empty out the urethra. I have to say, it feels really nice having this thing in there! It's surprising. It also makes the cage inescapable, and makes me totally unwilling to try and cheat it for fear of causing damage, so on those fronts it's such a huge success that I really hope I can pull this off routinely in the future. Going forward, I have purchased a 144ct box of 3oz Surgilube packets, and I also bought a box of 50ct individually sealed powder-free sterile gloves. I've read that using iodine on the meatus isn't shown to really make a difference, and could in fact make things worse. So I think this is going to be my routine going forward, but I'll welcome any suggestions to make things even safer!

Well I screwed up big time. Had blood in there today, burning and urgency got worse again, so went to the local clinic to test. He said the bacteria levels were crazy high and I must've had the infection for more than a few days. I asked about skipping the antibiotic but he said it would be a really bad idea to risk it at this level. Sigh. I might try one more time, with full on extreme sterilization, but this is very discouraging to my stent plans =( The pain and risk isn't really that bad, but having to take antibiotics definitely is.

I started practicing stretching with an 8mm silicone sound (hollow), for an hour at a time. Had the usual for a beginner tiny bit of blood come out upon removal, and there was burning for about a day each time after urinating. That went away, but about three or four days later after having not used the sound at all, the burning came back really badly all of a sudden. There's no blood at all. So I did all the usual stuff like drinking lots of water and cranberry juice. The burning has gone down a lot but is still a little bit there another two days later. I

I don't seem to go much more often with just the cage alone. I'm voiding every 3-5 minutes with this 85mm tube in place though. If it didn't hurt this would be awesome. Either the tube is actually hitting the external sphincter some, or the body is trying to flush out the foreign object by dumping lots of water out at it. The seller also has a 165mm length one, which I think should be able to reach past the external sphincter. But I think I need a 6mm diameter one to go deeper than I'm at now. A really nice benefit of the cage is preventing erections which would be really painful with the tube inserted. The benefit of the tube is it's the only thing that fully prevents pull-out, and also prevents being able to stimulate things due to the discomfort. Without it, the other cages only slow me down a little.

Hey all, so I really want to work my way toward trying this. Call it a new year's resolution maybe I wanted to start with a catheter but there's too many options and too few places that sell without prescription. So instead I bought a chastity cage (another thing I'm toying with) that came with a hollow urethral stent. It has a stainless steel concave tip and then it's all some kind of plastic or silicon, not sure which. Very soft and bendable material. It's 85mm long, 8mm diameter, with a 4mm through hole. I clean in antibacterial soap, then pour boiling water on it, then with latex gloves add non-glycerine silicone lubricant, and I am able to insert it all the way. I do it extremely slowly. Like it takes me five minutes to put it in. I do have to push though, it does not slide in on its own. Have a few questions. First, any position other than lying still with legs forward or standing straight up is slightly painful. Urinating is also slightly painful, and I seem to be doing it a lot more frequently and in small amounts. Surprisingly it doesn't feel much different even though part of the urethra is now covered by the tube. There was a drop of blood the first insertion, but none with the second attempt. Will this pain go away as the urethra stretches? How long does that take? How long should I "tough it out" with the minor discomfort each day? I think 8mm is too big, but if I can stretch it out then a stent at 6mm should be a lot more comfortable later. If it's always going to be this uncomfortable then I don't think I can do this. Next, what happens when you insert a hollow tube and make it past the prostate gland's external voluntary sphincter, but not all the way into the bladder, past the involuntary sphincter? Wouldn't that essentially cause you to void without any control? Or can you still stop the flow anyway? If so, how? The bladder muscle is supposed to be involuntary, and triggered only when the voluntary muscle is in a relaxed, open state, right? If the goal is to keep a pathway to the bladder closed off from bacteria then this seems the safest route to me. People wear these chastity cages for days with the urethral plug installed, so it should be safe. Especially if I remove it and sterilize it daily.

I think this might be a mature topic? If you keep getting off and immediately removing the diaper after, it will take a whole lot longer to break the cycle. Our bodies are really good about associating sexual objects with orgasm, so you have to break that loop. To decrease the arousal after putting on a diaper, you need to go as long as possible in one without getting off. If

They're not quite as crinkly, and they have a slightly different feel to the plastic than the Space and Little Pawz. I don't know how to describe it, but it's a nice feeling. Not buttery smooth or soft, but not like a shower curtain liner either. It feels durable. What I like most is they hold up pretty well. Definitely not nearly as long as their premium products, but they outlast the newer Bambino Biancos. My only real complaint is the front is missing a waistband, and the rear waistband is almost useless. It barely folds at all. Minor complaint is I wish the padding length was 1-2" more, it rides a bit low. There's plenty of empty plastic shell in the front and back for that. It feels like a cost-cutting measure like with ATNs. Overall for the price, I like them.

Haha! I sometimes wonder if anyone notices that I never go to the bathroom. Probably not, and I could always just explain that I'm a germophobe instead

And it should be less agitating than hard plastic. But I don't know how to construct such a thing. I don't think it will be easy to MacGyver something inflatable. I worry that even if I do get used to the current size, it'll start coming out easily again, and I'll need a bigger size again. When I first got the large plug size, that took a week to get in but stayed in. Now that I can get the x-large in, the large doesn't stay put so easily. So far practice isn't helping with the x-large. I can't keep that one in longer than an hour or two, and it doesn't stop hurting. It'd be perfect if I could build a tolerance to the point of not noticing the x-large.

I think blood is always a sign that something's going wrong and you should take it easy afterward. But I have also read that most people bleed from the very first time using a catheter as well. The people here using stents probably already took care of that phase with catheter practice before. Still though, listen to your body and stop when you see blood or feel pain.

No doctor in the world would ever do that. Even if you travel to a third world country with more lax ethics. Plugs are a safe and temporary form of incontinence. Take it out, back to normal.

I couldn't agree more. They are taking advantage of the community. If this sells well, expect them to raise prices across the board because they can. They might even try charging higher next time. Buying these anyway will only harm the marketplace for all of us.

Well at least you told her as an adult, so the harm is minimized. I would still strongly advise kids living at home to keep this to themselves until they gain their independence. The last thing they'd want is their parents taking all their supplies, forbidding them from engaging with others for support, and sending them to a psychologist against their will. It's not worth the risk then.

That's interesting that you can't feel it yet it still works. I have been trying repeatedly to hit that point and failing. I made a second one of these and shaved an inch off the length, but I found that the point of it causing pain actually comes before the point where it stays in on its own for me. So I can't wear one of these for very long. I can't see any way around that

Nobody sells diapers affordably by the bag. You have to get the case size. At $109, these are $1.36 each. That is not a great price. The absorption should be on-par with ATNs from the reviews I have read, so you're paying $0.30 a diaper more for the cute prints, which is okay with me. But for the same price, you can get the Fabine Teddy Gold diapers, if you order by the case and with one of the 40-50% off sales. I bought these anyway for the variety. The new owners of ABU have never been an affordable choice. I would say they were the Apple of AB diapers, but with Bambino's completely ridiculous new $3.20 a diaper Magnifico, they've taken that crown now.

Well I doubt a tiny bit of

WARNING!

Never been formally caught, but always had the suspicion I might have been yet nothing was said. Had a few cases where I got way too reckless in desperation, or wore too long and the smell was noticeable to me (no messing), and had one leak in public at work but only had to walk past two security guards so I just hoped they weren't looking at my rear as I left.

Conceptually, the idea of expanding the top part after insertion could reduce the length of the hollow tunnel portion. A shorter tunnel length is beneficial for this. But the more it expands inside, the more painful it'll end up being to keep in. It also gets bad reviews about being painful and coming right back out. See below. https://www.amazon.com/Master-Claw-Expanding-Anal-Dilator/dp/B01IFB7VOS#customerReviews

Also worth noting that they are offering plastic-backed versions of these now. I'll be picking up a case this Friday for sure, so long as they don't sell out

It says you can insert up to 7" normally. If you insert the full 7" from a new one, but leave the barrel outside so you can take it right out, is 7" deep enough inside to keep the external sphincter open and result in basic incontinence? Obviously one wouldn't keep the sound like that as it's an open channel to the bladder and could cause infection. But I would like to experiment with the feeling before attempting to try things like a fishing line retrieval cord and 100% insertion. I would only leave it in for a minute or two like that. If not, how far do you have to push it past 100% inserted before it gets past the external sphincter? And you don't have to push it into the internal sphincter, since that one is involuntary anyway, right? Which end

I have a question about its diuretic effects. It's supposed to make you go more often, yet I also read that it's a very common "cure" to give bedwetters a glass of it before bedtime to prevent accidents. Don't the two contradict each other? How does a diuretic help prevent bedwetting? And also I tried it just to see if it would help with bedwetting and I'll give a warning: it's VERY acidic stuff! If you are even slightly prone to heartburn, this stuff will make trying to sleep a living hell

Hi all, Bambino responded to my concerns on ADISC. I thought it was only fair to share their response here too. Cheers! http://www.adisc.org/forum/showthread.php/104763-Bambino-diapers-quality-drop-PSA?p=1409451&viewfull=1#post1409451
