Foley catheter question

[frostydog]

I’d like to try a Foley catheter with diapers (I have a horrible time peeing normally, much more diapered up and normally have to force it…. Which occasionally works.);I would like to stimulate urinary incontinence plus I’d like to be able to sleep through the whole night without having to get up to use the bathroom every hour, on the hour. Where do I find one/several? I don’t have a prescription and I highly doubt that doctor will give me one for this. Sorry if this is an inappropriate question but not sure where else to ask.

To be clear: I’m looking for a set of caths and the whole kit required to properly use them. I know there is a risk of uti’s doing this improperly and I’d like to minimize that as much as possible.

Have tried foley catheter a few times and it doesn't work well for me, getting bladderspasms when the balloon is inflated cause a lot of discomfort, my recommendation is to try a intermittent catheter together with a chasity cage to keep it in, I've had catheter in since Monday and have almost no feeling of the catheter, the cage is only needed for the first day after that it is not necessary as the catheter stays in place by itself after a while, love the feeling of being incontinent and diaper dependent

Particular company/size you’d recommend?

Perhaps the volume of the balloon was too big.
I also had the same issue with 30ml ballons. After I changed to catheters with 10-15ml balloon I had no more problems with bladder spasm.

typical size for men is 14-16 FR.  you could start to 12 FR and see how it goes.  as far as balloon size, larger is fine.  if you feel like a full balloon is causing bladder issues try filling the balloon to a lower amount.

I'm using 12FR and thats works great for me, and there is a risk to get UTI so my recomandation is to never use it for more than a day or two if you draining in a diapers before taking it out and let the bladder retain normal bacteria for atleast a week, I have used it one time for 4 days and got a heavy UTI and pyelonephritis

If you do it the holey foley way with a hole below the sphincter and plugged outlet the risk of uti is reduced. Have done it for years and keep them for one to two weeks before replacing, have not had any uti yet.

Sound something i want to try, what are you using to make the holes and prevent sharp edges?
