No UTI's... actually since the urine is constantly passing over the foley it is not bad at all... other than the occasional re-adjustment you kinda forget its there. One thing though... be prepared to wake up drenched... even with molicares best.... its not enough to stop the leaks. I have fun the last couple weeks, I guess one of the benefits of being single and unemployed... oh... one more thing... if you go to change in a public rr take a ziplock bag with you to place over your leaking plumbing.... this will stop the stream you create from bending and movind from getting all over your pants/shoes. Works good for me... enjoy.

I don't fill it the ky.... just kinda top it off.... gives you that feeling that you can't just change your mind when you want

Well.... this works extremely well. I have had this cath in for 3 days straight and have gone thru a lot of diapers... this is the 3rd time I have tried this.... the second time I went for 11 days in a row. I did up the ante just a little.... after inflating the balloon I take about 3cc of ky jelly and slowly work it into the balloon to prevent me from changing my mind while I am in public. I still use a zip tie and cut off the end but when you remove the zip tie...... it takes a while for the ky to work its way back out of that tiny opening of the tube leading into the balloon. It took a whole day for it to work its way out the last time. If you really wanted to get it out quicker you could work some water into the hole to help water down the ky...
