  1. Spargano, that image of the aftermath of your experience is... horrific to say the least and I'm actually pretty surprised you shared it here. I know you're just looking for some advice but you should know the design and execution was an absolute failure since it looks like something out of a crime scene. A description would do in this case. However, I suppose the only positive thing I can say is this serves as a reminder that this activity does not come without risks. Stent building is not all unicorns and rainbows, but it should absolutely not be attempted before better educating yourself and having a substantial level of experience with catheters. This thread alone has more resources to teach you the rights and wrongs than you should ever need to perform this process safer than you have. I encourage you to go through and carefully read every page of this thread, in addition to the PDF archive we have provided in the OP that provides hundreds of more examples of experiences from stent users before the forum crash. As an aside to Cathdiap, no one here would ever (or is) blaming you for sharing your method with stents. It's even in the title ("My experiences with stents"). Just like everyone in here, we each take full responsibility for our actions and our stent builds. If anything, you have (along with the entire community) helped promote safe practices in stenting and have without a doubt saved dozens of people from having bad experiences and less than ideal outcomes. A couple of things are also for sure, deleting this thread will not stop people from building them, and we've definitely had bigger horror stories than a rogue and bloody design. Best we can do is continue to support those people and emphasize safe practices and education in the art of stent building. Spargano, I can only give you my opinion as it's somewhat unclear with the number of things that went wrong with your design but to me it looks quite massive. I'd also make a less-than wild prediction that your design is not smooth from tip to base. It's also evident your insertion methodology was far too aggressive, likely due to inexperience and a lack of reading the do's and don'ts that have been reiterated here countless times. Lube shouldn't even be necessary at all if you know what you're doing which you clearly don't. My advice is to read this entire thread closely and don't be impatient when educating yourself. If you can manage that I'm sure next time you will have much better luck.
  2. Sorry if this was mentioned earlier on in the thread Reddy but I'm curious to hear if you told your folks about the surgery? Do they know that you are diaper (or in this case catheter) dependent right now or were you able to (or intend to) hide that from them and your friends? So you have managed to just wear regular clothes with no risk of leaking right now? Sending best wishes your way and hoping the cath opens things back up for you.
  3. This looks like a solid design. I think I recall you talking about the process before so don't mind me asking but: 1) How do you fit those balls past the meatus? Have you had a meatotomy? 2) What is the diameter of the balls, just so we can understand the french-sized equivalent? 3) Did you use PVC for the tubing molded directly vs using Teflon inner tubing? What material are the balls? Are they squishy? 4) How are the balls securely fastened with no risk of popping off? With an uncut meatus, I would imagine that's next to impossible to pass, am I wrong? It looks like a great design if able to be inserted. Shortening the bottom bend a couple of centimeters was probably a smart thing on your new update. That thing looks 100% migration-proof so kudos!
  4. Have you been missing diapers since the surgery? Did you open your new packages thinking about your future dependence on them soon? Also, just curious if you have already taken care of pubic hair removal via laser or electrolysis? Can't wait to hear your updates!
  5. It looks extremely long, do you have the measurements? Also am seeing many sharp edges present on the adjoining pieces which would account for the bleeding. Everything must be smooth to the touch or there will be irritation inside of the urethra.
  6. Good luck! Excited to hear the updates, and hope the recovery goes well for you. I imagine there will likely be some pain for a while before you heal, but I'm sure you are prepared for that. Keep us posted and enjoy the journey!
  7. It's been 1.5 years since I've tried a stent but I recently tried a new design inspired by Cathdiap's. It locks right into place and I had it in for a little over 48 hrs. Here are a few pics (pardon the dry hands-- this winter has been cold!) I've been using a diamond-coated animal nail grinder in my Dremel to accomplish the rounded edges on the silicone: Like all of the 20+ designs I've tried, it works flawless during the day but not very well lying down. Perhaps it is just my physique but in my experience my urethra flattens out almost entirely when lying flat due to the ~90° bottom bend which I've found promotes inward migration. I guess this shouldn't really come as much of a surprise as seeing a straight urethral sound or straight urethroscope (like the below) can technically be inserted all the way into the bladder... meaning the urethra is super flexible: So again I'm back to the drawing board. The longest I've gone with a design in was 2 weeks with a former O-Ring design modeled after dlnoir's design. No solution has perfectly satisfied all the criteria that I have sought: Easy insertion and removal past the meatus (Cathdiap's is an example, O-Rings are not) Good drainage during the day and night regardless of position No migration in any position, even with a strong Kegel pelvic floor exercise My ultimate goal is to build a comfortable stent that satisfies each of these goals at once, with an emphasis on a design that I can sleep with to promote bedwetting but I have still never had a design that accomplishes that. They all suck when lying down, and that's honestly why I've taken a 1.5 year break with stents.
  8. There are some people still messaging me looking for the backup file to before this forum crashed, as it appears FileDropper no longer exists so I am attaching it here for anyone to save or share. Here is also a link to the download that will expire in one year (1/16/25): https://file.io/io4kLYJwaiuN Cathdiap, would you be able to attach this to your first post as the OP?

  9. Thank you for the well-written advice. It's really helpful to hear the success stories from those who lived their entire life without bedwetting, and were able to accomplish it with natural methods later on. For me that would be the ultimate goal if only I could get by one major psychological hurdle... That is needing to "not" be a bedwetter 5% of the year while on the road with my family or friends. I have worn diapers to bed about 95% of the year for the past 8 years now, always at home where I have no trouble wetting while laying down, but while sleeping, I have honestly only had that "aha!" moment you speak about about 4 or 5 times at most... That's literally my success rate out of about 2,774 nights! My question: is it possible to become a bedwetter only at home in your bed and not in other beds? By the nature of being a bedwetter, I would assume not, but would love to hear this from you or others that have more experience with this conundrum.
  10. 15cm is close to 6" in length, I think that is plenty long, though the distance between the bends is what matters a bit more than the overall length and will slightly differ for everyone. It's all about trial and error, finding what works for your physique, what doesn't work and refining it until you are satisfied.
  11. I would be interested to know if this worked for you. The bottom bend looks a bit more obtuse than I would trust to prevent inward migration. Something closer to a 90° would be much less likely to slide around. Just my personal opinion.
  12. Quick questions for Cathdiap & InD: have either of you experimented with an L shaped design? If so, can you share your experience? Wondering the main advantages of that upper bend in your [ shaped designs: is it to prevent inward migration because the near-90 degree bottom bend isn't sufficient to keep the stent in place alone? When inserted, isn't the upper curve inside your bladder pointing forward, perhaps the tip of the stent pinned up against the front of your bladder wall? If so, does this assist in preventing inward migration?
  13. The material for the inside tubing is simply Teflon (PTFE). It's chemically inert, highly resistant to corrosion, and easily moldable with a heat gun. You will have to experiment with different wall thicknesses on the PTFE to find what is both strong enough but not too narrow of an inside diameter as to not constrict the flow. The outside diameter of the PTFE should match the inside diameter of the silicone for a snug fit. I recommend platinum cured silicone for the purest quality. I believe I am using 1/8" ID x 3/16" OD PTFE and 3/16" ID x 5/16" OD platinum cured silicone. The specific type of PTFE I'm using is FEP, or Fluoroethylenepropylene, which is the melt-processable version of PTFE. FEP has very similar properties to PTFE, but has a lower maximum operating temperature of +200°C. However, FEP can be more easily processed and can be easily welded and re-moulded into complex profiles.

  14. A PA with that device would probably work and would stay in place, but opens a portal from the outside to the bladder since it's not entirely internal like most stent designs. That drastically increases the risk of a UTI as bacteria would be able to enter, and also wouldn't promote the feeling of incontinence since you wouldn't feel the dribbling. It is much more similar to a catheter in that effect.
  15. Hey zraihusky, this is very interesting. Do you have any pictures of 1) the balls alone after you expand the hole as it would be interesting to see what size to expand the hole & 2) the Dremmel tool used to expand the hole (I've got the same Dremmel), & 3) a closeup of the holes you have punched/smoothed on your stent? Also a question: You say you are able to remove the balls by hand. So my question is with the extreme tightness the balls must have when going in & out of the meatus, how do you not fear a ball will pop off the tubing? What safeguards are in place to ensure this doesn't happen (no stitching etc)? Also what's your plan if a ball were to pop off? I fear if the ball on the bladder end were to pop off, this wouldn't be possible to pee out like a kidney stone.
