@spargano if I could get an invite as well

Some neat side effects of bladder tapping. 1. I had some involuntary squirts. 2. The feeling of milking the bladder, feeling the urine flow out with each press of my fingers on the bladder, is both addictive and so pleasurable. That alone makes this technique fun to do over and over again. 3. I had a bout of stress incontinence that I have NEVER had before. I bent over to pick something up and felt a gush of pee as my stomach put pressure on the bladder. on doing some research, I discovered this is an offshoot of the Credé maneuver, which can be dangerous long term as putting heavy pressure on the bladder can cause issues. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/procedures/crede-maneuver this is a safer method of stimulation.

So, not doing the excessive holds, but I have to say, this a lot of fun. Tapping the bladder to force the spasms feels nice. The squirts as the sphincter gives way is also incredible. There have also been a few involuntary after-urination spurts that are either urine left in the urethra expelling on its own, or the bladder continuing to contract a few minutes after the jabbing finishes due to the flood. I’ll report back if it bears fruit after doing it often through the day. The only thing I don’t like is that to the outside viewer, it might look like I am masturbating poking my bladder, but it is a neat feeling. I wonder if an electric massager would accomplish the same effect. In Britain they have something called the “the queen” which was actually developed along the same lines as this exercise and it’s supposed to help with urinary retention. Specifically as an alternative to catheterization. you all might notice I did a foray into stents which I regret. Not because of my errors and trials, but because I frightened one of our great innovators and posters with a picture of the failed stent. Out of respect for him, I am going to stay away from that method of incontinence and go back to the long haul method. i have noticed when I keep my bladder “open” I constantly feel like I need to pee, even when I don’t. I don’t know if this is just what the “drop” is supposed to feel like and then over time it becomes less noticeable? i am also confused because of the dichotomy maintain that open state, which requires concentration, and “ignore your bladder.” Additionally, I read reverse kegels will actually give more control and not less. Are these reverse kegals we are doing by maintaining that “drop” feeling? Glad to see the app is helpful 😁

Thanks for the video. I am amazed you were able to maneuver it without any help from a “pushing” tool. Also shocked you could fit your finger in the urethra opening of the meatus.

Two things, first you’ve always said it experimental and two the photo makes seem worse than it actually is. as I said, I think the problem was lack of proper lubricant. Simply urinating not sufficient fact that I could not get it past the head should’ve been an. I think the problem was lack of proper lubricant. Simply urinating not sufficient fact that I could not get it past the head should’ve been an indicator. compared to the pain when I tried the holey foley (16 hours of intense burning in the urethra) this is nothing. It didn’t even sting when I urinated after the retrieval. all that all that being said, I am eager to try again. before that I need to make sure I order a lot of lubricant figure out what piping to use inside. The one was too big and the second probably too small.

It really does, actually.. that’s great advice

@cathdiapor at anyone else. I noticed in one of the photo dumps, that someone uses a traced model to replicate the stent. i am going to try to make cathidaps model, but wanted to see if there was a pdf or word document that one could print to try to match angles. I realize the catheter will need to be adjusted based on my personal anatomy, but it would be nice for a starting point.

Well, good news/bad news. I purchased a leather hole punch and 4mm brass beads. I punched a hole 7 inches from the tip of the catheter (2.4 mm hole). Unfortunately, I punctured the fill line so I couldn’t inflate the balloon and I don’t have a third catheter to experiment with. still, I thought “why not at least see if the concept works. I inserted the brass bead into the hole and worked it down half an inch from the hole so that it would force the urine out the hole instead of down the catheter. I then plugged the bottom of the catheter for good measure. I lubed it up with the catheter tray lubricant and inserted all the way in, and it did go smoothly, no irritation or blood, but, no urine. Not a drop. so I thought maybe the hole has to decend a little for the hole to be below the prostrate. I literally stood over my diaper and let the catheter slowly come out on its own with nothing coming out. I then sat on the toilet and proceeded to urinate. that’s the good news at least. No burning of the urethra. bottom line. What gives!!!?? How low does the hole need to be to work and how wide does the aperture need to be? Is 14fr too big and the wall of the urethra is simply hugging the catheter too snugly to allow the holes to empty?

Interesting. Do you use a leather punch to get such a clean hole? does the lack of 8 cm impair the length? Wouldn’t an erection pull on the balloon and lead to damage?

It’s just sore now. The urethra burn has subsided a great deal. I am grateful it only took 12 hours. Is that something that will happen every time the catheter is removed or only if you cause some sort of trauma? i used sewing sheers to cut the silicon foley (14fr). Is there a good method to create the hole (s) that won’t lead to urethral irritation? Also, is it possible that 14fr is still too big?

So, I tied the holey foley, with a hole cut 5 inches from the tip. After insertion the catheter, drained, as one would expect out of the hole at the bottom of the catheter. When I plugged the hole, nothing came out at all. I am wondering if the whole should be further down than 5 inch Like an idiot, I decided to cut two additional holes lower than one. As it cleared the prostate a riant blood came out of the catheter. That may be normal but I was too frightened to risk it so I did not even inflate it and pulled it out. Now I’m in agony every time I urinate. That, too, maybe normal

For those using the modified catheter, how does it work in relation to the urine in catheter? Won’t that cause bacteria growing inside the tube? Are you able to “weld” the catheter closed under the hole?

Thank you! I will give that a try. my issue has always been trying to get past the need for steady state urination. I can urinate in any position given enough time to relax, but if I change positions such as going from walking to sitting, to stopping the walk etc. It resets the process and I have to regain that relaxed state to release in that new position. the problem is trying to figure out a way to train a, for all intents and purposes, an incontinence parkour of continuously switching movements and positions at different timed intervals and still release. i can urinate while running, while walking while going up and down stairwells, on my back, while driving, side (still difficult) belly (takes longer) but only when I am doing the respective action for longer than 60-300 seconds. i am hoping doing that massage tactic will help in this regard for training.

Very interesting. Can you share which massager you have and also how you massage the bladder.

Ok, I was wondering if I it was in my head that the dinosaur plastic was softer and able to get a better fit. I have 6 months of Inspires left from their Black Friday sale, but I will probably give them a try. I also hate the hook and loop hybrid. It does not stay
