My 28fr Cath

Today I have had a 28frwith a 50cc ballon cath in using my belly bag all day long. What a great feeling having not worry about going to bathroom. Yesterday I had a 16fr with 30cc ballon in as I was at work. I used a belly bag also. I was able to move around with out any trouble and hardly knew I was wearing one. I found that the larger ones are fine for at home when I'm not doing much moving around. I have some 30Fr cath coming later this week along with more 28fr cath. Tommorow I'm going put in a 16fr for the day and cap. Empty my bladder as needed. I also cut a small hole in the side of a cath and cap it and wear a heavy diaper and let drain. That way I have no control over the flow.

I got my supply of 30FR caths today and have one right now. Will leave it in until I go to bed tonight. My spouse doesn't know about my cath habit. It feels real good in me as I can feel it a lot more than the smaller sizes.

You lucky dogs i am only at a FR24 but getting to a FR30 it just takes time….

I can wear FR-30 with ease. My urologist says I should wear a maller catheter. So I am going to see how a FR-16 fells. I usually put 36 to38 ccin the balloon with distiled water.

I can wear a FR-30 for at lest 30 days and sometime even more.I have gone as long as 43 days. I find it easy to do.

Is there any distortion of the meatus with large catheters such that when peeing without the catheter the stream is distorted or not straight?

Not sure distortion is the right word… stretching for years has caused my stream to exit in a flat, spiraling pattern. It's straight but tends to be more of a twisted fan that reforms into a stream a couple of inches after hitting the air.

I'm able to accommodate greater than 38fr all the way to the bladder these days and play sometimes with larger.
