Use a plug on the open end of the cath. The pee will back up but not much and it will allow you to shower, dry off, and get a fresh diaper on https://www.allegromedical.com/products/bard-catheter-plug-and-cap-for-drainage-lumen-on-foley-catheters-each/

Great job on week 1! How was the clean up process for you in light of living in a RV?

When taping your Diaper top or bottom first?
rh1979 replied to DiaperboyEddie12's topic in Incontinent-Desires
If I change while standing, I start with the bottom tapes first. If changing while laying down, I usually do the top tapes first. I don't think there's any special method or secret sauce as to which tapes should be first. It probably comes down to each person's preference and body. -
I switch between Better Dry and Dry24/7. I can usually make it a day in just 2 or 3 diapers!

FixFlex is the winner for me as well. Besides being more comfortable and roomy, they hold a good bit more and are more sturdy than the RealFit. My biggest complaint with the RealFit is how flimsy the material is. The pull-up tends to 'ride down', particularly if I bend over. If I reach back to pull them up, I can easily stick my finger through the material or tear them if I pull to far, thus separating the elastic waist band from the diaper. Then it is only a matter of time before the small hole becomes huge. This does not happen with FitFlex line.

11 years for me after a freak surgery mishap.

Close To Incontinence With A Catheter

Wow. Good luck. -
My story is similar to others. About 11 years ago, I had a kidney stone removal procedure that went bad. I semi-woke up in an ambulance heading to the ER from the surgery center, with an oxygen mask on my face and a long string sticking out of my you-know-what attached to a stent deep inside. I had no control for several months and finally got some daytime back (but never regained it at night). Then about 5 years ago, I fell from a pickup bed to a concrete driveway, flat on my back. I'm still resisting diapers 24/7 but I suspect it is only a matter of time.

I had a very pleasant factory defect in my Dry 24/7. It seems that twice the padding was put in the diaper. When I reached for the diaper, I initially thought I had two diapers, but there was just one. Once I changed into it, the diaper was so thick, I could hardly bring my legs together. I ended up sleeping like a frog. This diaper was an All Night and Most of the Day Diaper - 14+ hours!! It probably would have held more, but it was getting really heavy and starting to smell a little. It made we wish all of them were like this. BRING ALL YOUR FACTORY DEFECTS TO ME TO DRY 24/7!

Well stated. I would LOVE to have a working stent like this but not confident enough to make one myself.

BB - It's been a few weeks since we've bugged you about your healing. Are things getting back to normal for you? What is your next step? (Is it OK if I call you BB?? )

Brian - Sorry to hear about the troubles. I was really hoping this one would finally be the magic fix. I second Dill's advice. Be sure to stock up on iron rich foods to keep your blood factory working at full capacity. Ray

Hey Brian - Just wanted to wish you good luck on your procedure next week. I hope this 3rd one is truly 'the charm'!

Close To Incontinence With A Catheter
rh1979 replied to dependsfavorite's topic in Incontinent-Desires
I've been following this thread for sometime and I'm very interested in the whole idea of a stent. These last two versions, the modified cath with the compression sleeves, or the medical grade tubing with silicon o-rings, are very tempting. They seem relatively easy to build and only have a very few materials. My big question now is how is one of these things installed? Do you push it in with a sound or crochet hook or what?? -
Hey Brian- It's been a while since we've heard from you, about you. How are things going? Are you going back to the doc anytime soon for round 3?

Do you carry a diaper bag and what's in it?

The third time is the charm, as they say, right? Hopefully!

That's awesome news! I hope the waters keep flowing!! That'd be a good Christmas present...

Brian, I hope the recovery, this round, is going much better than the last one. Good luck!
