Urethral Play

Tips on keeping burning pain down afterwards? I’ve been using lots o’ lube! TYIA

Hi!

It's important to get the lube to your urethra! If you lubricate only the catheter is far not enough for a gentle insertion.

Also important to do the insertion and removal slowly!!!

Before I do the removal, I clamp the catheter and let my bladder fill a bit. I pee a huge amount right after the removal. Most of the time I don't have any burning pain or just a slight for a day.

Increased fluid intake is very important when wearing a cath or just playing.

It helps to wash out your bladder after the removal.

Happy cathing! 😃

It is completely normal for the urethra to burn a little when the sound starts. But this gets better and better as the urethra gets used to the new stress. If you work cleanly and have plenty of sterile lubricant gel, we use it better every time. It is good to use metal dilators as a beginner, which slide better than silicone or rubber dilators and therefore do not irritate the urethra as much. Before use, I wipe the dilator with a paper tissue soaked in isopropyl alcohol 70%. Stretching for one to two hours a day is enough. But you won't be able to do this every day because of the pain. It is better to take a break for several days between the stretching sessions and only continue when the pain is gone. I always increase in 0.5 mm steps with Hegar dilators. If you increase too quickly, there is a risk that cracks will appear. The resulting scar tissue is difficult to stretch. So far I've reached 13mm I've started at 6mm in diameter. Of course, I also have a bottleneck in the external urethral meatus that has to be stretched with great effort. A meatotomy doesn't help either. The external urethral meatus consists of firm connective tissue. A pain gel is helpful in increasing the diameter. I use Xylocaine Gel 2% which is also used as a lubricant. Of course, you have to be careful not to push too hard, otherwise you can injure yourself because you feel less pain. So just slowly increase the diameter. It takes me about 2 to 3 months for a 0.5 mm step, dilators with a bore are difficult to find in this size. If I want to urinate or ejaculate I just take the dilator out and then put it back in. Pushing and turning the dilator back and forth does not help, and only leads to microcracks which then slow down the desired result. You can only get ahead with patience. Of course, the Hegar Sound can also slide in completely. That also happened to me before. I then pulled the sound out again with a pair of pliers. It is better if you attach a string to the sound at the end, which then hangs out of the meatus. Then you can easily pull out the sound.
