I did, I felt close to it with a catheter; this however is definitely different. The stress incontinence side is the most difficult to adapt to though. Especially considering that I started this at the end of a nasty cold so I was coughing every 10 or so minutes. I've got the next version in which is closer to someone else design; basically 20fr silicon cath with two inserts to force the bends then the end rolled over with a retrieval string. So far so good.

Well I tried making my first one... It was based on @cathdiap and @tux22 design. It was a minor success. Version 1 was way too long had to take it out after half an hour. Version 2 was made from version 1 but shortened. This one I managed to keep in for approximately 6 hours before there was some irritation. I will shorten the exit end just a little more and it should be quite suitable. I used 6mm OD Silicon tube and 4mm OD Teflon tubing to make the outer and inner pieces; the Teflon being the inner. I used 10lb test line for the retrieval string tied to soft plastic half ring (eyes on either end). I soaked in alcohol between insertions. Now I have to wait for my next set of days off. Also need to figure out to role the ends...
