This has gotta be the most button-pushy thing I've ever written if you're into diaper punishment and the idea of wearing diapers to the doctor. The whole story can be found here. ___________________________ "The Pediatrician Visit" I know Joey – 22 years old and thinking that makes him an adult just because legally he is one – doesn’t like that his mommy hired me as his nanny. Still, taking Joey for his checkup today was an experience, to put it mildly. I knew it was going to be a challenge the moment I told him where we were going. He gave me his usual grumpy pout, stomping around the house and whining about how “unfair” it was to see a pediatrician. But Joey’s behavior lately has earned him a very specific kind of doctor, and I wasn’t about to budge. If he insists on acting like a toddler, then he gets treated like one—complete with the pediatrician experience. When we arrived at the office, Joey was already sulking, his diaper crinkling audibly with every reluctant step. I had dressed him in a simple T-shirt and his diaper for the appointment, skipping the shorts to save time during the exam. It’s not like he keeps them on for long anyway. The waiting room was bright and cheerful, decorated with colorful murals of animals and cartoon characters. There were toys in one corner, a small table with crayons and coloring books in another, and a group of actual toddlers playing quietly with their parents. Joey froze when he saw it all, his face turning beet red. “Sarah,” he hissed, his voice low, “this is ridiculous. I’m not sitting here like this.” “Yes, you are,” I said firmly, guiding him to a seat. “You’re here for a checkup, just like everyone else.” He groaned and flopped into the chair, crossing his arms over his chest. The receptionist smiled brightly as we approached the desk. “Hi there! Checking in?” she asked, glancing down at Joey with a knowing smile. “Yes,” I said, handing over the paperwork. “This is Joey. He’s here for his annual checkup.” Her smile widened. “Wonderful! Just have a seat, and we’ll call you when it’s time.” As I turned to sit down, I heard Joey mutter under his breath, “This is so stupid.” I paused, narrowing my eyes. “Excuse me, young man?” He looked away, pretending not to hear me. That was strike one. I ignored it for the moment, but Joey’s sulky attitude didn’t stop there. A few minutes later, he started fidgeting noisily in his chair, kicking his legs against the seat and sighing dramatically. “Joey,” I warned, keeping my tone calm but firm. “What?” he snapped, loud enough to draw the attention of a nearby mom and her toddler. “That’s strike two,” I said, my voice low. He slumped back in his chair, glaring at the floor. The final straw came when one of the toddlers toddled past us with a brightly colored rattle. Joey, for some reason, decided this was the moment to make his feelings known. “Why don’t you give him a checkup?” he grumbled, gesturing toward the little boy. “He actually belongs here.” That was it. “Joey,” I said sharply, grabbing his arm and pulling him to his feet. “What?!” he whined, stumbling as I guided him away from the chairs and into a quieter corner of the waiting room. I sat down on a low bench and tugged him over my lap, his diaper crinkling loudly. “Sarah, no!” he hissed, squirming. “Joey, yes,” I said, landing the first firm swat on his diapered bottom. The smacks weren’t hard—just enough to make him stop fussing and pay attention. I wanted to make a point, not a scene. “You will sit quietly and behave like a good boy,” I said, punctuating each word with a swat. “If you can’t do that, we will go straight home, and you’ll be dealing with a much more serious punishment. Do I make myself clear?” “Yes, Sarah,” he mumbled, his voice barely audible. I gave him one last swat for good measure before pulling him to his feet. “Good. Now sit down, and don’t make me remind you again.” Joey shuffled back to his seat, his cheeks as red as his attitude. He sat quietly this time, though I could tell he was still sulking. Just as he was starting to settle down, the nurse called his name. “Joey? We’re ready for you!” I stood up and smiled down at him. “Come on, sweetheart. Let’s go see the doctor.” His groan was quiet, but the crinkle of his diaper as he stood up was anything but. This was going to be a very interesting appointment. "The Check-In Interrogation" Joey’s day didn’t get any easier once we were called back to the exam room. The tech who greeted us—an energetic woman named Lisa with a sunny smile—seemed delighted to see Joey and didn’t hold back on her questions. I could practically feel him wilting beside me as her clipboard filled up with increasingly embarrassing details. Lisa led us to the small, cheerful room, decorated with colorful animal posters and a mural of a giraffe measuring heights on the wall. She motioned for Joey to sit on the exam table, its crinkly paper cover matching his diaper’s sound perfectly. “Hi there, Joey,” she said brightly. “I’ll be helping with your check-in today. How are you feeling?” Joey slumped on the table, arms crossed, and mumbled, “Fine.” Lisa’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “Fine, huh? Okay, let’s see what we’ve got here. Sarah, you’re his caregiver, right?” I nodded. “That’s right.” “Perfect! Let’s start with the basics.” She glanced at Joey. “How’s your diapering routine going? Do you use mostly disposables, or are there any cloth diapers in the mix?” Joey’s jaw dropped, and his face turned bright red. “W-what?!” he stammered. I rested a calming hand on his knee. “Mostly disposables,” I answered smoothly. “Cloth is an option, but disposables are more practical for his needs.” Lisa nodded, jotting it down without hesitation. “Makes sense. And how often are changes happening during the day? Would you say every two to three hours, or do you wait longer unless there’s a messy one?” Joey buried his face in his hands, shaking his head. “This is so embarrassing,” he muttered. “Usually two to three hours,” I said, ignoring his protest. “But I keep an eye on him, especially if he’s been active or if I notice any signs of discomfort.” “Great,” Lisa said, smiling warmly at Joey. “Sounds like you’re well cared for, huh?” Joey peeked through his fingers, glaring at her. Lisa didn’t stop there. “Any rashes or skin irritation recently?” she asked, her tone casual but professional. “No,” I said, patting Joey’s knee when he groaned softly. “I’m very diligent about keeping him clean and dry.” “Wonderful. And bowel movements—how often are those happening? Daily? Every other day?” Joey looked like he wanted the floor to swallow him whole. “Why does she need to know that?!” he hissed at me. “It’s part of your check-up,” I said calmly, ignoring his pout. “Go ahead, Joey. Answer the question.” He mumbled something incoherent, his face as red as a tomato. Lisa smiled patiently. “Can you repeat that for me, sweetie? I didn’t catch it.” “Daily,” he muttered through gritted teeth. “Good to know,” Lisa said cheerfully, jotting it down. “And no issues with constipation or diarrhea?” “No!” Joey snapped, earning a stern look from me. “Joey,” I said firmly, “watch your tone.” He huffed but stayed quiet. Lisa moved on to the next section of her clipboard. “Now, let’s talk behavior,” she said, glancing at me. “Any challenges lately? Tantrums? Resistance to routines?” I smiled wryly. “Plenty of resistance,” I said, giving Joey a pointed look. “Especially when it comes to following directions or accepting discipline.” Lisa nodded knowingly. “That’s pretty common. And discipline—how’s that managed? Time-outs? Loss of privileges? Spankings?” Joey groaned loudly. “I can’t believe this,” he muttered, his hands covering his face again. “A mix of everything,” I said, ignoring his dramatics. “Time-outs and loss of privileges work for smaller infractions, but spankings are necessary sometimes, especially for repeated misbehavior.” “Got it,” Lisa said, jotting it down. “And how does he handle those?” Joey peeked out from behind his hands, his expression mortified. “Can you not?!” Lisa chuckled softly. “I’m just doing my job, kiddo. It’s important we understand the full picture.” “He handles it as well as you’d expect,” I said with a smirk. “Lots of pouting and sulking, but it gets the point across.” Lisa smiled. “Good to know. Sounds like you’ve got things under control.” Finally, Lisa clicked her pen and stood up, her smile as bright as ever. “That’s everything for now,” she said. “The nurse will be in shortly to continue the check-up. Thanks for being such a good sport, Joey.” He grumbled something under his breath but didn’t look up. As Lisa left the room, I turned to Joey and raised an eyebrow. “Well, that wasn’t so bad, was it?” He glared at me, still blushing furiously. “It was awful.” I couldn’t help but smile. “You’ll survive, sweetheart. Just wait—this was the easy part.” His groan said it all. "Joey Meets the Nurse" If Joey thought the check-in with Lisa was bad, the nurse coming in for his actual exam took things to a whole new level. By the time she finished, I could practically see steam coming out of his ears. The nurse, a cheerful woman named Kathy, came in with the same sunny disposition as Lisa. She carried a tablet and a stethoscope, her ponytail bouncing as she closed the door behind her. “Hi there, Joey!” she said brightly, setting her tablet down on the counter. “I’ll be doing your exam today. How are you feeling?” Joey crossed his arms and mumbled, “Fine.” Kathy didn’t miss a beat. “Good to hear! Now, let’s go over a few things before we get started.” I knew where this was heading, and Joey must have realized it too, because the moment Kathy started asking questions, he slouched deeper into the exam table with a dramatic sigh. “Diapering routine—are we using disposables, cloth, or a mix of both?” Kathy asked, glancing between us. Joey groaned, muttering something incoherent. “Disposables,” I said, giving him a warning look. “Great,” Kathy said, making a note. “And how often are we doing changes? Every two to three hours, or only as needed?” Joey let out a frustrated noise. “We just answered all of this!” Kathy raised an eyebrow but kept her tone calm. “I understand it might feel repetitive, Joey, but it’s important for me to double-check everything. So, changes?” “Two to three hours,” I answered smoothly, ignoring Joey’s glare. Kathy continued down the list, asking all the same questions about rashes, bowel movements, and behavior. By the time she got to discipline, Joey was squirming on the table, his face red with frustration. “Discipline methods,” Kathy said, glancing at me. “Time-outs? Loss of privileges? Spankings?” Joey slapped his hands over his face, groaning loudly. “Why does everyone have to ask about spankings?!” Kathy smiled patiently. “Because it’s important to know what works best for you,” she said simply. “Spankings are part of his routine,” I confirmed, keeping my tone calm. “Good to know,” Kathy said, typing on her tablet. “And how often would you say that happens?” “Enough to make an impression,” I said, earning a muffled groan from Joey. Finally, Kathy set down her tablet and pulled on a pair of gloves. “All right, Joey,” she said, her tone cheerful. “Let’s take a look and make sure everything’s healthy down there. Go ahead and lie back for me.” Joey hesitated, glancing at me for support. “It’s okay, sweetheart,” I said gently. “Just follow Nurse Kathy’s instructions.” With a heavy sigh, he leaned back on the exam table, the paper crinkling loudly beneath him. Kathy carefully untaped his diaper and opened it, her expression professional as she examined his diaper area. “Everything looks good so far,” she said, her gloved hands moving efficiently. “No redness or irritation. Whoever’s taking care of you is doing a great job.” Joey didn’t respond, staring at the ceiling with a look of pure misery. Then Kathy paused, her eyes narrowing slightly as she inspected his bottom more closely. “Oh, I can tell someone got a spanking recently,” she said casually, her tone almost amused. “Were you the fussy one in the waiting room?” Joey’s head snapped up, his face blazing red. “What’s it to you?!” he snapped, glaring at her. Kathy blinked, clearly caught off guard by his outburst. I crossed my arms and gave him a warning look, but before I could say a word, Joey turned his head away, muttering angrily under his breath. The tension in the room was palpable as I prepared to address his behavior. "Discipline in the Exam Room" I had hoped Joey would settle down after the initial check-in, but his attitude only worsened. By the time he snapped at Nurse Kathy during the exam, I knew we needed to take immediate action to reset his behavior. Thankfully, Kathy agreed. After Joey’s outburst, Kathy straightened up and looked at me expectantly. “Do you usually address behavior like this on the spot?” she asked calmly. “Yes,” I said, already reaching into my purse. “I believe in handling things immediately so there’s no confusion about consequences.” Joey’s eyes widened when he saw the small wooden paddle in my hand. “Sarah, no!” he protested, trying to squirm away. “Joey,” I said firmly, placing a hand on his chest to keep him still. “You’ve earned this, and you know it.” Kathy stepped back, her expression neutral but observant as I adjusted Joey’s position. He was already lying on his back from the exam, so I simply lifted his legs and held them up, exposing his bottom in the classic diaper position. “No, please!” Joey whined, kicking slightly. “Joey,” Kathy said sharply, surprising both of us. “You need to hold still and take your punishment. Your caregiver is doing what’s best for you.” Joey whimpered but stopped struggling, his face turning red as I positioned the paddle. The first swat landed with a sharp crack, and Joey yelped immediately. “This is for your attitude,” I said, delivering another firm smack. “You do not snap at adults who are here to help you.” Joey squirmed, his diaper crinkling beneath him as the paddle connected with his bare bottom again and again. As I continued, I noticed a small, wet spot forming on the front of his diaper. I wasn’t surprised—Joey often leaked a little when he was overwhelmed—but I wasn’t sure Kathy would know what to make of it. Sure enough, she tilted her head and asked, “Does that happen often?” “Sometimes,” I said, not pausing the spanking. “It’s a natural reaction when he’s upset or overstimulated. It’s one of the reasons we keep him in diapers—he’s not always in control.” Joey whimpered louder, tears starting to spill down his cheeks. “Sarah, please!” he begged, his voice cracking. “You’re not done yet,” I said, delivering a few more sharp swats. “We’re going to keep going until I know you’ve learned your lesson.” He sniffled, his cries growing louder with each smack. By the time I finished, his bottom was bright red, and he was a sobbing mess. Kathy nodded approvingly as I lowered his legs and adjusted his diaper back into place. “You handle that very well,” she said, making a note on her tablet. “It’s clear you’re firm but caring, and that’s exactly what he needs.” “Thank you,” I said, helping Joey sit up despite his continued sniffles. “Consistency is key with him, even when it’s hard.” “I can see that,” Kathy said, giving Joey a gentle but pointed look. “I hope you’ll remember this next time you feel like acting out, young man.” Joey didn’t respond, too busy rubbing his eyes and sniffling into his hands. “I’ll let the doctor know you’re ready,” Kathy said, giving me a kind smile before leaving the room. As the door closed behind her, I turned to Joey, who was still hiccupping quietly. “Are you ready to behave now?” I asked, my tone softer but still firm. He nodded quickly, his tear-streaked face showing just how much he regretted testing me today. ____________________ To continue the story, sign up for my SubscribeStar here.

First of all, sorry if it is not understood perfectly, I have written it in my language and I have used a translator I will try to give an idea of a stent design for those girls on the forum who have asked and are interested in having a stent with the possibility of removing it at any time. This is an idea for a girl's stent design that came to my mind when thinking of new ways in boy's stents that have been said on this forum over the years. This design is based on a somewhat special type of catheter. They are more difficult to find than Foley catheters, but they are much more suitable and comfortable for this use. Necessary materials - Malecot catheter of a small size. 6CH to 12CH. But it will depend on your urethra and the clamping ring. I'll explain later. - Long metal rod. 10cms or more. Slightly flexible and with a round tip. - Pair of scissors - Ring suitable for earring. Of this style or similar (as thin and small as possible). This is an example, but it can be of several designs to choose. - Measuring tape. - Alcohol and equipment to disinfect - Lubricant for catheter use. Information The idea is to have a stent that is held at one end by the wide part of the catheter, and at the other end by a metal piece. The total length of the stent will be individual for each person in order to avoid slippage and irritation. This stent can be easily removed, but for this the corresponding accessory will be necessary, so if you are away from home and do not carry that accessory with you, you will have to carry enough diapers. This occurs because the tip of the Malecot catheter remains open if the rod is not inserted, preventing it from coming out and at the same time allowing urine to escape through it. Before proceeding I recommend testing the force necessary to open and close the tip and check (if it comes) the width of the rod that comes with the catheter (we will probably use another). The force required should not be too much. If so, use a thinner rod. Now, once we have everything, we go with the steps to follow. Remember that everything must be perfectly sterilized. Steps to follow 0- I recommend opening the vaginal opening with a speculum or keeping the labia open in some way for comfort and to avoid contaminating the catheter. I recommend doing it somewhere that allows you to lie down and that you can get wet. Then we clean the vagina area and use some type of disinfectant. 1- Measure the length of your urethra and check the method for insertion and removal of the stent: This step is easy but important. If our catheter did not have a rod, we will use one of our own to keep the tip closed, inserting it to the bottom of the catheter and using force with 2 fingers (to prevent the rod from coming out). We probably need both hands for this, that is why it is important that we have our vaginal lips open without using our hands. We lubricate the catheter and urethra. Now what we will do is insert the Malecot catheter into the urethra gently without twisting. It should go in smoothly. If we notice pain or that it does not go in smoothly, it is because we are inserting it incorrectly or we are using a size that is too large. It may also be that you are not relaxed. For this just try to pee and focus on it, that helps a lot. It should be inserted about 50mm. You will notice that it has entered because you will notice that it passes through the urethral sphincter and it may begin to pee out. I recommend inserting at least 10 mm more to ensure that the tip is inside the bladder. Now stop straining with your fingers. With one hand hold the catheter inside and with the other pull out the rod. The urine should now flow rapidly to the outside. What we will do now is measure the exact length of your urethra. We gently pull the catheter out until we notice that it cannot come out (the tip is found open) We mark the catheter at the entrance area of the urethra with a pen. The measurement marked in the image should be around 40mm, but it depends on each person. We put the rod back to the bottom. Remember to apply force with 2 fingers on the catheter so that it does not go inwards. Once the catheter tip is closed, you can gently pull it out and remove it. 4- Catheter modification: This part is the most difficult because it depends on the materials you are using. The first thing to do is cut the catheter a little beyond the marked area as shown in the image. I recommend cutting about 3mm more than the mark made previously. Now we will put a piece to prevent the catheter from migrating towards the bladder and staying in place. We will use the metal ring looking like this: It is important to choose a ring that, when passing through the stent, does not completely block the opening of the tube and at the same time allows the entry of the rod. A good idea is to go through the stent a little laterally so that you can later insert the rod more easily and also control the type of urine outflow. If you are having trouble finding a ring or part to place here, it may be a better idea to increase the size of the catheter. We will test one last time that the rod can be inserted correctly with the ring on and that the tip can be opened and closed without problems. I recommend marking the rod with some mark when the tip is fully closed, to have a reference and to be able to remove the stent in the future in a controlled way. 3- Stent placement: Properly sterilize and lubricate your stent. This last step is similar to step 1 but this time we will apply the force of the fingers in the part where the ring is. We insert in the same way or we can help ourselves with the other hand to open the lips: Push the stent all the way in, even if you feel the urine coming out before reaching the end. Remember that the length is appropriate for your urethra, so you should not remove the rod before. We will remove the rod but making counterforce with the ring. Clean the area and put on your diaper. Now there will be a constant trickle 24/7. 5- To remove the stent, you have to insert the rod up to the previously made mark and exert a counterforce from the ring. Once the rod is fully inserted, pull the stent out. Problems and other issues - Remember to sterilize everything before and after each use, as well as wash your hands. - Finding the Malecot catheter can be a problem, but there are some medical providers who ship to individuals. You can talk to some Chinese Alibaba suppliers to order samples to your country (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Tianck-malecot-nephrostony-tube-set-disposable_1600109415473.html) - The ring used should be as thin as possible so that it does not cause discomfort and does not block the stent, but it is important that it be wide enough so that it does not migrate into the urethra. - I have another design based on a Foley catheter that does not require a rod, is easier to get and is cheaper, but it is necessary to use a larger size so that the ring does not interfere with the opening of the stent. If you are interested, I can expand this guide with this design.

5 wonderful years living with an indwelling catheter. I loved wearing diapers, but I got to the point it didn't satisfy my very strong urge to be fully incontinent. Living with an indwelling catheter means you are incontinent because you have lost all control. It is a process getting use to it and learning how to change it on your own. I've never had a UTI. For some people it is very uncomfortable and I had trouble at first. Now it feels like part of my body. Love to hear others who feel the same way.

I have about 1.5 boxes of yellow latex 14fr catheters and almost a full box of silicone catheters (~15 latex, ~8 silicone) which are all past their expiration date by over a year (2019/2020 expiry). Is there a way to make them safe for use without trashing almost $100 worth of Foleys? I also have two expired but unused BellyBags as well. Is there any danger of using an expired but not re-sterilized BellyBag with a sterile or resterilized catheter?

I was curious if anyone here has ever used a Foley catheter and a diaper together, with the catheter draining into the diaper. I tried this several weeks ago but after I cath'd and padded up, I started scouring the Internet for references to the practice and found that it's practiced for infants sometimes but it's highly discouraged for older children and adults due to the almost 100% chance of getting a UTI. After reading that, about 45 minutes after getting ready for bed, I immediately went to the bathroom and removed the Foley. I'm wondering if anyone here practices the Foley draining into a diaper and what if any problems have been experienced as a result. As many here may already be aware, urinary catheters, both intermittent and Foley are available from many sources in the USA (online), without a prescription (despite there being an "Rx only" requirement.

I'm trying again to go the catheter route to become incontinent. So far I'm on my forth day, and so far no problems. The catheter I've inserted is a fr18 silastic foley catheter draining into a closed urinebag. No signs of UTI, maybe because I'm taking a daily dose of d mannose, and cranberry pills, plus making sure to drink more, than normal to flush the catheter. The testimonials say, that bladder shrinkage becomes irreversible after approx 6 months, others mention decades before it becomes permanent, some say the bladder will return to normal again, when the catheter is finally out, and despite now having a smaller bladder, that it will slowly resume old practice, and expand to accommodate more storage. So what are people's experiences using catheters to become incontinent? Is incontinence permanent, or only for a brief period, when the bladder has shrunk and maybe the sphincters from being held open from the catheter for a long time?

So, one thing I noticed when I have a catheter in is that every now and then, it will feel like I'm trying to pee really hard. I'm guessing these are bladder cramps? Either way, is this normal or how do I make them stop. Because it is borderline painful.

Yesterday, I flew from Ft. Lauderdale to Dallas Tx on business. I wore a depends pullup to the airport (dry), but as soon as I cleared TSA, I went to the adult changing room, and put in a foley catheter and changed to a bambino. If then put the syringe you use to remove the catheter into my carry on, and went to gate check the carry on. I would be in diapers from then, until I got to Dallas at the very least. The flight from FLL to ATL was short - just a couple hours. In that time, I drank a whole 1 liter bottle of water and a 20oz bottle of coke - getting the fluids flowing. My diaper was pretty dry - maybe only 1/4 full. Well, I had a short layover in ATL, and figured with the diaper as dry as it was, I would just wait until I landed in Dallas. Well, I underestimated my diaper's endurance. The fluids I had drunk on the first flight ran right through me, and I filled that diaper BIG time.I had a 12" wet circle on the back of my pants. The embarrassment and uncontrollability was so delicious. For the first time since I was a baby, I was stuck in diapers and couldn't get out. Without the syringe (which was stuck in my luggage), I had no choice but to wear and use diapers. Since I was flying, it wasn't even like I could get a knife or pair of scissors and cut the valve off. I then had to change not just my diaper (and had no choice but to change into a new one), but also my pants. The diaper was so full, it weighed several pounds. It was wet from the very top of the front all the way to about 3" from the top of the back of the diaper. Tonight, I am sitting in the hotel room in a wet/messy diaper (no catheter), ready to go shower and get back in another diaper. I made the choice when I left that I would not use a toilet from the time I took off until the time I land back in Ft. Lauderdale. I had no choice but to take the catheter out an hour after getting to Dallas, since I was meeting with a customer. (I am willing to bring diapers into the public life, but not imposing them on a customer. Those two worlds should never mix). I am going to put in a new catheter on the way back home Wednesday as well (although this time I am going to change at my layover). Since I have precheck, I am going put in the catheter before i leave the hotel room. Diaper dependent while I check out of the hotel, while I wait for the taxi, while I go through security, while I fly, and while I collect my baggage back home. Infact, I may put the catheter in Tuesday night before I go to bed. A full 24 hours (or close enough) of being diaper dependent. Unfortunately I have to change out of the diaper and remove the catheter before I get home.

Hi all, had my anual check up today at urologists in the hospital. All went well until they suggested that i try using a catheter again. The consultant said that with my sphyncter being in the condition it is it may be worth trying a catheter again, but i may also "dribble a little around the catheter" i said does that mean i will have to use some sort of incontinence pad? The consultant said that it would most likely be necessary to use pads. The consultant looked a bit stumped when i suggested that not only will i still have to use pads but there will be the discomfort of a bag and the possible UTI'S as well, instead of wearing briefs and having none of the other complications. I said to the consultant that that it is he who finds fitted incontinence briefs embarrassing and that i am comfortable wearing briefs all of the time. I explained that it was a matter of getting into a routine and knowing the limits of your nappy. I told him that he was trying to stigmatise me and said that he was going to put me at more risk from being cathetered. We left it at that!

Well, after writing a couple of scenes with catheters into some stories here, I got curious as to what it would be like.

If you've used a stent or similar design I'd like to hear how you're making out with diapers and 24/7 wetting. The reason I bring this up is I've found it much harder to get good value out of

This wasn't exactly voluntary. I found myself pissing very red pee & long,ropy clots; so little output with so much difficulty my fears of a ruptured bladder dominated other sensations.

I just thought this information might be helpful for people that are trying to become incontinent or desire wearing a catheter while in a diaper. I found this site while I was looking for a better way to stretch my urethra.

Hi,

It could be said that I slept like a baby except that most of the babies I have known don't use catheters.

When I have a catheter in, I find sitting somewhat uncomfortable. The pressure on my perineum causes me discomfort. Diaper bulge (when wet) exacerbates the situation.

Who exercises with a catheter in place? With 'exercise' I mean going for a run, playing tennis etc.

With the fairly active recent thread on catheters I thought I'd ask for people's viewpoints on different types. My everyday "go to" catheter is a 100% silicone 18FR catheter. It's very comfortable to use and can stay in for days. Lately I've been trying a 100% silicone catheter that is lined with silver to prevent infection. Maybe I'm part vampire, but these just burn when they are inside me. I have no idea why. When I know I'm going to be cath'ed for only a few hours I use a silicone lined rubber catheter as it's much cheaper. Largest catheter? 24FR I believe. I know I tried a 26 once, but could not get it in.

Ok, I had posted elsewhere my idea to insert a plastic bead into a catheter. The idea is for the bead to keep the cath from dropping out on its own. But I still want to be able to remove it when I want to. My supplies. 1 intermittent 14fr catheter 1 plastic bead with the center drill oversize for better flow 1 stainless steel rod 1 small syringe to insert lube into the catheter Surgilube And pictures

Ok, some short history about me first. I was urge incontinent from a car accident 15 years ago. Every doctor I met wanted to try and "cure" me but all I'd been interested in is getting rid of those painful urges. Last year I used catheters to reduce my urges into a more functional incontinence. It worked ok and I am now (mostly) functional incontinent. Unfortunately I still get a slight urge just before peeing, actually it's not much of an urge any more, just an annoying warning that in about 20 seconds I will be going. I don't consider myself as having any control, though sometimes my sphincter will still spasm and prevent me from peeing for another 20 seconds or so. Also, I still wake up at night just before peeing, all of which has been going on for the past year since I used the catheters. I was hoping that just letting myself pee then the urges would gradually go away to the point where I don't notice it until I'm all ready wet, and get to sleep a full night again- but that isn't happening since my control over peeing is messed up to start with. I've worn diapers 24/7 for the last 15 years but I'm still seeking a more comfortable life (to which the doctors won't help me). That said I'm just looking for input here to see what everyone thinks. I've tried getting many different urologists to help me achieve full incontinence or even just buying a (pre-mounted) urethral stent- no luck in the last 5 or 10 years of trying. I just realized the simplicity of stents are really nothing more than a bimetal strip that is coiled when hot then mounted on a catheter at room temp. When it gets inserted into the body it expands again so you can pull the catheter out while leaving he stent. The coil holds open your sphincter, and in about 3 months scar tissue grows around it, making it permanent without any further, additional, risk of infection. I think I might be able to make one out of a new bimetal thermostat which uses stainless steel & copper (that little copper inside you would be safe since it takes a lot for copper poisoning). Warm it up in 99 degree water, coil it around a bic pen, make sure it contracts tight around the pen, warm it up again to 98 degrees and make sure it expands to slide off easily, place it over the tip of a catheter and let it contract again, soak it in rubbing alcohol and let it dry, insert it (with lube as needed) until you feel the resistance of the sphincter give, insert 1/2 an inch more (I'm guessing the coil will be about 3 inches long), hold it until the coil expands from your body temp, remove the catheter, drink lots of cranberry juice for 3 months. Viola, permanent functional incontinence without the aid of doctor. First, has anyone ever had a real urethral stent inserted in them (for any reason)? What was your experience on this, and what could I expect IF I went through with this? Please no conjectures here if you haven't had it done (defined as the formation of conclusions from incomplete evidence; a guess) Second, do you believe this might work or should I refine my idea for manufacturing it? Should I use different materials? Do you know if I can get a bimetal strip that is actually rated for implanting- or better yet a stent? Go ahead and rant about your concerns but again, please stick to facts and tone down the conjectures (ie- using catheters WILL cause an infection because it happened to you even thought I used them on my own for 7 months and never got one). Third, I have great medical insurance and would be inclined to see my doctor after I've inserted it to make sure nothing is going wrong. And yes, after, not before (since I've all ready tried that but they're more worried about the "do no harm" part of their oath instead of the "do good" part that comes first.)
