Spargano

Thought I would give an update on my later iteration. 7 cm long stent with 5.5cm between anchors. The anchors are two 3mm id x 6mm od o-rings Stacked next to each other forming ribs. These o-rings cover two 2mm vent holes on both the distal and proximal side. These vents get used during movements that disrupt the seal of the o-rings. Because they are beneath the o-rings they are not felt. My retrieval line goes right up to the lip of my penis where it terminates at another o-ring. This o-ring sometimes sits outside the flaccid penis by 1-2cm or just inside the lips creating the look and feel that I am not wearing anything. I have been opting for the braided fishing line as my retrieval line as it will flush out better than the silicone sheathed line, which means I have less concern about inward migration of the retrieval line. all in all, very comfy. I have not tested it long term in bed. It will drain in my car but not when seated on a hard surface that closes the urethra at the perineum.

This is the tried and true method. Eventually you will stop waking up

My meatus is slapping me and calling me stupid… my pony beads were inspired and definitely prevent migration to a point, but getting them past the meatus was a struggle every time, a struggle I assumed was necessary for safety. but as I was experimenting with some silicone o-ring parts (6mm od) it occurred to me what @UsuallyDiapered said about his holy grail set up, (It only protrudes a few millimeters). So I removed the pony beads on previous model and replaced it with the o-rings which I then glued to the surface to be a backup to surface tension. Lo and behold, in addition to entering the meatus more easily it performs in the exact same manner as my pony-bead setup. It might even perform better as instead of being tight in the urethra, this thinner profile should ride along comfortably. My current stent is 6cm long with 5.5cm between the o-rings. I will let you know if there is movement at night.

Three things: one I think that would get picked up by a metal detector or body scanner and that’s something I would like to avoid when living my life. two, I am not sure what the long term effect of magnets would be inside the body. How big would it need to be to overcome drag. three: and this is the big one, two work the magnet would need to be strong, very strong and the pull of sensitive inner things like my urethra getting pinched sounds devastating. all that is to say, I have thought about it. But thank you so much for the idea. I appreciate all input.
