Fem soft catheters

I am looking for anyone with experience having a "fem soft" urinary catheter device. It's used for incontinent women and plugs the urethral opening into the bladder. The wearer can open and close the device to urinate.

I would also be interested in a device to plug the urethra to prevent peeing. I am not incontinent but just hate being forced to use the toilet at inconvenient times and something like this would seem perfect

If it's what I'm thinking of, here in the UK it's called a ' Flip Flow Valve ' . It's inserted into the end of the uretheral catheter or a suprapubic catheter. You don't have a bag. You just flip the valve open when you want to empty .

Hi ladies...sorry to have this come from a man but there is a product out there, can be bought in any store and they actually work, my wife uses them, it helps her not to go or leak and it's called...It's made by pad-and-tampon giant Poise, and it's called Impressa. there is another one out there..."Finess" prevents light to moderate bladder leaks without the need for bulky absorbent pads. While pads absorb and hold leaks after they’ve already happened, Finess prevents them from happening to begin with. To use Finess you simply place it over your urethral opening, and the gentle hydrogel adhesive seals it in place until it’s removed at your next bathroom visit.

Hope that I helped a little today...😃

I looked up FemSoft catheters, and they're designed as a single-use appliance, to be removed and replaced whenever the woman does want to urinate and then seal up again. It's not designed to urinate around it as there's a small balloon-like structure sitting in the bladder while in place.

Thanks to the folks that responded. I would like to find out more about the flip flow valve. Also, I found the fem soft insert, but was looking for anyone that has actual experience wearing one of these. Or perhaps a M.D. on here that has used them on a patient....either real life or play.

Flip flo valves.

I’ve tried a similar device but it doesn’t prevent pee from leaking out if my bladder is desperate. All it does is provide some resistance. I was wondering if there is anything that totally prevents peeing no matter how hard my bladder tries to empty?

This might be more helpful...

I'm not sure if they're still available though.

Someone needs to make something like this for men. Specially for men who tend to leak.

Does anyone have experience (either with patients or as a user) with suprapubic catheters? Are they more prone to infections than urethral catheters? They are mentioned here but no one seems to have used one. We're hoping we are just dealing with some post-operative retention issues and plan to use it more like an intermittent catheterization hoping the "urge" and ability to pee comes back. Seem to be convenient - any downsides.
