On another thread, "Hiprex" was suggested. (Hiprex has anti bacterial properties which suppress or eliminate uninary bacteria; contains Hexamine Hippurate, 1g) I have been using it for the last few months without problems. Prior to that I was taking cranberry capsules 2 or 3 times a say. I live in Australia. Take care!

You will probably find any butt plug becomes uncomfortable after a short time.

I have always found taking a shower awkward with a stent in place as one doesn't want to dribble all over the bathroom floor. I use pull ups and putting one on when not properly dry is no fun. I thought of wrapping 'it' in some sort of cloth before leaving the shower. I have a stack of single use, toweling cloths about 10 in sq saved from flights. One of these is wrapped and held in place with an elastic band while I dry off at leisure. Anything would do. Sorry ladies, won't work for you.

I have kept foley caths in for up to 6 weeks with total comfort. The use of 30cc balloon is not so usual. I have heard that bladder cramps are more likely with the larger balloons. If you persist, perhaps with 5 or 10cc balloon the body soon becomes accustomed. It's great to use a cath connected directly to a 2 litre night bag when sleeping. I cover the bag with a hot water bottle cover. Keeps my feet warm in winter.

A catheter connected to a night bag certainly promotes better sleep but I am not sure it is worth the trouble. I do use one sometimes.

I have several of these which are most comfortable. They have 5 snap fasteners which can be a little fiddly. The price is in Australian dollars. (1AUD = 71 US cents.)

You could also try to get hold of Hiprex. This will acidify your urine, killing unwanted germs causing UTIs
Thanks for the tip, austmo.

does this help make you feel incontinent?
If it goes all the way to the bladder and you have some way to keep it there. CAUTION NEEDED.

I use Cranberry 30,000 capsules. (equivalent to 30g (1oz) fresh cranberries) One in the morning and one in the evening whilst there is something inserted plus for 48 hours after removal. Also I take 2 prior to insertion. Of course, I have no idea if it works but hopefully by causing the urine to be acidic, it discourages the formation of bacteria in the bladder.
-
Could the smell be caused by something you eat from time to time and have nothing to do with the stent?

And what does one use to close off the end of a catheter?
The green cone is made to plug into and block a catheter. The red clip is made to close small plastic freezer bags and works just as well.
-
I use a 'holey foley' from time to time. Totally comfortable and works perfectly during the day but no good in bed as I wake up with a full bladder. Maybe the hole is too small. If I use the same size catheter into a night bag there is no problem.

I have never tried catheter, but rely want to try it out. One thing I do like with diapers is when I get the sudden accident feeling. That wont happen with a catheter. But I came d up with an idea. If putting a non return valve on the end of the catheter. It should not open until there Is some level of pressure. depending on the valve, maybe you might fell some urge before, it happens. A good thing with most non return valves are that they need some pressure to start, but when open they stay open to the flow stops.
Have anyone tested something like this?I tried a non return valve at the end of a catheter into a diaper and promptly got UTI. Previously I had used a fitting from the top of a leg bag with tape over the end. In that tape was a single pin hole. That seemed to work rather well at preventing reverse flow providing one drinks plenty of fluids.

Thanks dlnor.
-
Dlnoir, where can one get those orange colored O rings?
-
Knots in fishing lines tend to slip. That would worry me. All of my attempts have used fishing line going into the stent and out again being knotted at the far end, usually onto a suitable O ring.
-
After a few times the urethra looses sensitivity and there is no discomfort. The catheter is designed not to be reused however soaking in a mix of about 70% alcohol and water then rinsed with boiled water, has always worked for me. Every care is needed to avoid bladder infection.

Would love to see a diagram.

I have been experimenting with catheters and more recently stents for at least 15 years with only a few instances of UTI. Then about 8 months ago had to see my Doc with a dose. “Very unusual in men” he said. I didn’t let on. He prescribed Altrim which worked well. Then I decided to quit and tossed out everything. A few weeks ago I noticed that script was still valid and had an unused repeat; my insurance policy. Off we go again. This time the cath had only been in about 30 hours before removing it. Hours later I was aware of discomfort following a pee. That afternoon when out and about I wore a pull up as a precaution. When out, I experienced true incontinence for the first time together with strong bladder cramps, being quite unable to hold it. Later I was surprised to find I had been leaking both ends. Off to the pharmacy.

You could work up in size to a hollow butt plug but not without initial discomfort. This may not really achieve anything other than mess. Another idea might be to insert about an ounce of warm soapy water before bed, then totally relax.

Today I spontaneously felt like a catheter with a hole in the side. I also tried a CH.18 for the first time and it seems to be really good.
I use CH 14. Works well.

I am looking at issues with my prostate. If the worst is true, I have no question that it is getting removed. I don't relish the thought of being incontinent, but I prefer it to cancer. Diapers have been a part of my life for 50 years. I am comfortable with them, but that doesn't mean I want to need them.

I needed to use pads for 10 weeks. ED is something else. Good luck.

I have been indulging in catheter play on and off for about 14 years. You reminded me of those delightful bladder spasms I haven't felt for months as I purged after the last lot of UTI in August. Back into it but only for 4 days due irritation. I just luv the tingling sensation up the arms. Maybe try a 'holy foly' in a day or so.
-
I wondered about that too but found the belly bag works just fine. Maybe there is slightly increased pressure in the bladder.
Theoretical question: get sphincterotomy surgery in some other country?

I'm happy as a pig in mud at the moment. For the last 48 hours I have been 'wearing' my first totally comfortable urinary stent. It's not coming out anytime soon.
