Advice & Tips
bulky and cumbersome always, creasing and bunching often, wet against my skin sometimes. Despite the heightened risk of pressure sores, it beats staying in and peeing on the floor! Even with my Supra pubic catheter, I cannot go padless due to frequent leakage and bladder spasms

Advice & Tips
Beware of skin problems. I wear a diaper or pad together with the condom catheter in case the condom catheter leaks. It gives me freedom and I don't have to worry about finding an accessible toilet in time, less stress.
