Howdy! I'm a long time lurker and now I'm trying to make the plunge and be more active. I'm an avid gamer, I love listening to podcasts and audio books and of course i'm into diapers. ?

[My experience with stents]

I'm not a big fan of the formed hard plastic stent design. I gave it a try, never really got comfortable. To each their own I say. I have however used the attached with great success.  Easy to make low cost, after use I wash in soap and hot water allow to dry and then soak in alcohol for  twenty minutes before wrapping in a fresh paper towel. The balloon has 1 cc +/-  of fluid inserted. To plug the cut end I use a piece of weed wacker line reduced in size to suite.  Now that I have been using this design roughly four years now I have no discomfort at all when wearing. My longest continuous use time  is only four days but that is due to family life.

Sorry to bring this up from 9 months ago but I'm hoping to make a stent similar to this one. I'm curios what you're using as the white cap on the end and how you secure it to the modified catheter. I've been lurking in on this thread for over a year now, its been my motivation for getting comfortable with catheters so i can eventually make stents for myself.  (Edit: Nevermind, I see you went into great detail about this design in the "Close To Incontinence With A Catheter" thread.)
