SIDincontinent

I’m 24/7 due to incontinence of the bladder. I’m usually stripped down to just a diaper and she usually just un tapes the diaper to get to my equipment. The diaper is usually left under me. We finish her then hit the showers. She usually will diaper me and put my foley back in when we’re done. I’m a 10 1/2 year foley user since a medical mishap in 2014. We can have sex with the foley in if it’s in the middle of the catheter cycle. We learned this by accident in 2017 when we were fooling around and she ended up allowing me to penetrate her with the foley in. We didn’t know it was possible. I do leak small amounts without the foley in so usually need a chux or a diaper under me.

I’m a 10 1/2 year foley Cath user. I have my foley changed weekly. I don’t reuse bags for more than a week. I average 1-2 UTI’s a year. I change from the night bag to leg bag in the morning and back to the night bag at night. I sanitize the bag I’m taking off with hot water flush then with bleach & water to let sit for at least 30 minutes. I clean the tube ends with alcohol at every change. It cleans the end and I also believe it helps prevent the tube from coming detached from the catheter.

Bladder incontinent x10 years. Been 24/7 since early 2014.

Can be done. I’ve lived with a foley since June 2014. You can even enjoy penetrative sex (I’m a heterosexual male)

Thank You for keeping us updated!! Some of us have been following your situation anxiously!!!

I have a few pairs still that I wear for the wife on occasion. She doesn’t like me in diapers even though I’ve been medically incontinent for over 10 years.

I’m in Maine. About an hour from Manchester.

I have bladder issues. My wife willingly changes me on average 25-30 times a month. I started having bladder issues 10 years ago due to a medical mishap. Prior to that, I was a DL. adjusting to having bladder accidents and wearing 24/7 for me was fairly easy compared to most who have to suddenly adapt due to a medical need. She is good about changing me, despite not loving my need for diapers.

I’m in Maine but only 5 miles from downtown Portsmouth

York/Kittery area here

I’m also in Maine. In the Kittery/York area

No, my flow rate is fine and I mostly empty. I wear both the foley and always wear a diaper over it to support things and protect from occasional leakage by the catheter. I don’t wear regular underwear anymore because I leak, not huge amounts but small amounts over the course of the day.

When I’m without the foley, I can hold it for a period of time, but usually leak for 15-20 minutes after using the bathroom. I became a foley user after extreme urinary frequency and all the OAB meds weren’t working. The Urology office recommended I go to the ER and get a foley inserted. I slept through the night for the first time in weeks. I’ve been a foley user ever since.

I’m a 10 year foley cath user. My bladder is trashed. my body doesn’t tolerate anything but 100% silicone foleys. Latex foleys cause my bladder to bleed. I usually have my foleys in for a week at a time. I usually have a day without it and then it is changed after a day without it. I can pee without it but in extremely uncomfortable. My recommendation is Bard 100% silicone “Lubri-Sil” I use 16,18, and occasionally 20F. I’ve been using mostly 16’s because that’s what I’ve been able to get from my medical supplier.

I’ve been following this for a couple weeks. I’m very interested to see how you make out. I’m an interstitial cystitis and OAB patient and I have to live with a foley cath to manage my condition. Of course, I occasionally have leaks around the foley so I’m in diapers 24/7 as well. I don’t mind the diapers or the foleys. I had a 22F once, it was huge and felt like a garden hose when the nurse put it in. Normally I live with a 16.
