Safety tips

I did and am confused.

Sorry if this irritated you, and I actually should have asked for any further tips.

I have used both sounds and caths with catheter I do get some bleeding I have tried all kinds tiny FR-10 to 18. The sounds I don't get any bleeding they are easy to use the straight ones or rosebuds just let gravity feed them make sure your hands clean and dry so the sound doesn't slip out of your fingers. I don't boil the sounds or anything like that just clean them really good and since I'm the only one ever used them no chance of STD.

You might find that watching videos, reading about it is more stimulating then actually doing it yourself. It maybe more stimulating for a girl to watching long tube go into a cock that seems to be some attraction for the female partner. For me other then the internal prostate stimulation I didn't get that much stimulation in fact my erection goes away as soon as it goes in. Everyone is different I did get hard again when it hits my prostate on the inside as stated moving a catheter in side can injure and I had some bleeding. I suspect the bleeding was due to lack of lubrication difficult to get lube down that deep in the urethra.

I don't boil the sounds or anything like that just clean them really good and since I'm the only one ever used them no chance of STD.

No chance of STD, but plenty of chance for UTI

I’m new to urethral play. Want to start trying sounding and using catheters. I’ve seen lots of good advice on this thread. Anything you wish you’d known before starting? Thanks.

When getting the catheter inserted what if I have an erection is it still okay to just insert? First time trying and too excited can't control my erection

My experience has been this. When I first started to insert a catheter, I too got a great hard on/ erection. I then made sure I had a lot of lube on the catheter and proceeded to insert the catheter slowly. I could feel it all the way to my bladder. I went very slow and it went in without any problem. I then inflated the balloon and made sure the catheter was plugged so no urine would come out all over the floor.

I would step into the shower and pull out the plug and put a leg bag on. That way I could wash any lube off and the urine would be washed down the drain. You could also aim the catheter into the toilet and let the urine out there, then hop in the shower and wash off any excess lube off.

As long as you don't jam it in, go slow and if you have any pain, stop.. Remember pain is your body telling you to stop. I don't think you can hurt yourself as long as you go slow and be gentle with the insertion.

I had a nurse catheterize me about a month ago at the urologist's office. She was an expert at doing it. I felt it start, the next thing I felt was the urine draining into the tray that she was catching my urine to check to see if I had any infection. She came back later and told me I was all good, but they gave me some drugs because I had botox injections to stop my over active bladder. It was almost painless and it worked great.

Once the catheter is in you may feel some discomfort for a while, at least for me that went away in about an hour or so. I think you will enjoy it once you try a catheter.

The The use of catheters for sex games is certainly very pleasant but also has some risks. Catheterization must be performed very cleanly and carefully. Otherwise, a urethral or bladder infection may develop easily. There is also the risk of overstretching the urinary bladder sphincter and causing urinary incontinence. I have also already introduced catheters with CR32. I do not do that often. I prefer to use Hegar Dilators with 13 mm diameter, which are only 19cm long and do not go into the urinary bladder. It is enough if the dilator goes through the prostate. This is very pleasant and not as dangerous as catheders. Besides, I still have sterile urine to flush the urethra. So you should urinate after the session.

I'm cathing again and its going very well. I was taught sterile procedure by a nurse friend and use a 18fr w 5cc balloon silicone cath with leg bag and bed bag

I went to YouTube and watched all the videos on how to insert a catheter. I watched all the videos even the ones with the dummies. I made sure I was clean, I washed myself at least twice and dried myself off. I made sure that I used lots of lube in my penis and on the catheter. Once the catheter was in me I inflated the balloon to about 38 cc's. I use a large catheter and I could inflate the balloon to 50 cc's but 36 about 39 cc's is enough.

Work clean, if you have any pain inserting the catheter, stop.

💥❗️Use STERILE field/procedure/technique OR DO NOT play with catheters or engage in urethral/urinary play💥❗️

Don’t be stupid in play. Do NOT overstretch. Do NOT over inflate. Pain is bad. Urinary infections can turn deadly especially if you have caused an open wound anywhere in the urinary trac from overstretching, over filling, not using sterile field/procedur/technique.

I love playing with a catheter but when you do make sure you play with a lot of alcohol to go with it. be super clean about how you play.. also use the rubber cloves don't be afraid to use the alcohol on those to. you don't need a U.T.I.

A very good video , It's a lot quieter and relaxing then what happened when they put mine in , One nurse on my left teaching another nurse on my right with a third nurse at the foot of my bed overseeing and correcting and yes they had the betadine swabs on what looked like q-tips and the “learning ” nurse was told that it didn't need to be that deep in me . Also as this is my life now, one nurse spent at least an hour teaching me how to keep it clean and how to avoid irritation and made me do what was needed in front of him to show that I could . Getting old isn't for the faint of hart !!!

@nytwatch1 … yeah, until you start considering the alternative!!!

Have thought about and contemplated starting a new thread on tips and tricks to be shared back and fourth between those of us that HAVE TO live with a catheter . One such problem surfaced two days ago and I spent a pain filled two days before I found a "fix" . The problem? My catheter and drain hose AND my anti-reflux valve was plugging up almost every quarter hour causing extreme pain and bladder spasms' . It got so bad I had to get this thing OUT . NOW . About three AM in the morning I got out a diaper and every thing I needed to get it out . I resigned myself to need to wear a diaper for the next two or three days , When I took it out and had the diaper taped on All i could do was drop the catheter on the floor and pass out . When I awoke I went to throw away the used catheter , The end with the eyelet's was covered in a white crust and dried blood clots . What was I doing wrong ????

First I hadn't done a bladder flush in over a week . Second I had the cheapest leg and night bags . They had plugged up so much , so often that I was backed up inside allowing every thing to "ferment" so to speak . Thankfully I had ordered A LOT of new supplies . They all came in yesterday . I kind of made a few mistakes . I ordered a case of catheters , This time silicone coated , Not just latex . So I guessed every thing was "by the case" So i got a case of insertion kit , A case of night bags , A case of leg bags . Quit laughing . I should have read how many to a case . SOOOOO I now have 12 catheters . 100 insertion kits , that came with a leg bag included . 100 leg bags , different . 50 night bag's . I need a storage unit .

My first "trick" to pass along ? Read how much is in each case .

My second trick to pass along is , bladder flush as much as possible . Third don't get cheep on leg or night bags . I know I know we are only supposed to change them once a month . But my experience is twice a month is better . I was told to clean hoses and bags with vinegar and reuse . To hell with that replace with new . { I now have enough to do so }

Lastly , Be safe . Use any tips I pass along only after due caution , It might not be right for you . If it works or makes you're life easier let us know .

If you catheterize often, be sure to see a urologist for a cystoscopy once per year. The irritation from regular catheter use is known to cause cancerous cells to grow in the bladder.

I can personally attest to it.

@arttemp , You are right , Whether needing full time or constant daily catheter insertion to drain , One should , If possible get at least yearly urologist checkups . Not all of us can . If you live in or near a city you can be sure to find a doc that can take care of you and if not change to another that can .

Here where I live , At what almost seems to be at the end of the world , A trip to the nearest urologist cost $300.00 round trip , Just the trip . Then there is the cost of the Doctor visit . $1000.00 or more all told . One trip to hospital cost me $30,000.00 dollars for a three day visit , and I had to call for a ride home , another $400.00 . The solution ???? give up my land , give up my freedom , Live where crime is rampant . Live in what is to me a "dirty" world . And if I convert every thing I own to cash I could be homeless in a year or so .

But it's OK . I like living here , I can learn to take care of myself , And I enjoy the fact that I haven't spoke to or seen anyone in over a month .

But what the hell It's all good , We all live where we want or can . Now all that said you are still right , If one lives with a catheter we all need to see a doc as often as we can . I can't . Hence I try to keep every thing "down there" as clean as possible . Lets pass along any tips we have that lets us have an easier day . Such as keep the hair "down there" short or shaved so as to help keep it clean . What do we use to do daily cleaning ? How to treat and or avoid meatiest chaffing . How do we avoid leaking out side the catheter ?

Hay you can find support group's for anything and everything except for catheter wearers . As it is now a doc shoves one in , sends you home and tells you nothing about what to do or how to care for you're self .

Few tips for the first-timers, I want to share after my own first time cathed

1. Unpack one catheter simply to see how the balloon works: how it inflates, at what capacity bends, and at what minimum capacity it become fully inflated - it will allow you to know how it works, and how it acts inside your body. Remember to discard this catheter afterwards --- (Totally worth it in my case, and also helped me to overcome anxiousness about balloon failure)

2. Be ready to discard half-dozen glove pairs, 1-2 catheters, and countless sterilization pads - first catheterization WILL be abortive. Even with all educational materials online you will not be able do it nice and clean/sterile, while inserting your first --- (I had a whole pile of discarded items near me, before managed to insert a catheter as clean as I could. That also said, that catheterization kit may be not the best choice for the first time, if you don't have nursing education)

3. If you want to leave it there for some time - prepare collection bags or diapers to collect the urine - it may not seem a big flow, but it will be quite a volume of urine in just a couple of hours

4. For males - be prepared to deal with night erections: you may not notice it usually, but with catheter in, they cause noticeable discomfort --- (It didn't wake me up, but when I was waking, discomfort was quite strong, at least first 5-6 days)

4b. If you are using night bag, and can't find comfortable position (or tend to move all over the bed like me) - try to wear diapers instead --- (I've used maxi-absorbent ones with a booster pad - it was easily enough even for weekend 10-hour sleep)

5. If you suddenly have frequent urge to pee (without any other signs of UTI - it's important!!!) - try to drink more water --- (Yeah, paradoxically, but the less water you drink - more urge you have)

5. Fully deflate balloon before pulling out - just connect empty syringe, and wait for a minute. After piston fully stops, you can give it an additional tug.

6. Pull out slowly, and fight the urge to pull it faster because of discomfort. Thing is, after some time inflated, balloon become stretched due to material properties (silicone-coated latex in my case). It folds down when deflated, but the folds itself remain, and could be potentially traumatic to urethra

7. If you accidentally catch some disease (even if it's only runny nose or slightly increased temperature) - stop. Having catheter under low immunity is not worth it

@strider382 : good points, if I may add a few suggestions using the numbering in your post

Prior: get some urine tests - there are strip tests for nitrites, blood, protein, leukocytes. Get tested prior. Don't insert if underlying conditions.

Also prior: UTIs come in 2 varieties - uncomplicated and complicated. UTIs in men are always of the complicated variety. So ask yourself: if something happens, how will you deal with it? Do you have access to medical facilities? How will you explain what happened? Be aware that UTIs may require very strong antibiotics and multiple appointments. Do your planning, know your risks. Following sterile practices reduces (does not eliminate) the likelihood of an UTI.

2.1 Practice putting on sterile gloves ahead of time; sacrifice a few until you get the process down pat

3.1 First few times, don't inflate the balloon; keep it place a short time, then extract - if you're bleeding you don't want to continue.

3.2 The longer the Foley stays in the higher the UTI likelihood. I believe current stats are around 1uti/100 cath days. This is why intermittent is preferred.

After: test yourself with urine test strips. The most usual finding is occult bleeding (meaning minute amount of blood) in urine. Use testing to figure out how long it takes to recover. Any indication of a budding UTI, get your plan rolling ('cause you have a plan, don't you)?

Closing words - do factor getting an UTI if urethral play is your thing. Unfortunately it does happen sooner or later. This is a statistical certainty.
