Foley catheter fetish

While there are many different models available, when I actually was doing a lot of catheterizations as part of my job, I found most of my clients used either Rusch or Bard latex caths. The other brands just were not as frequently used for one reason or another.

The stiffness of the 100% silicone catheters can be either a plus or a minus for some players. If you try them, order only one or two until you find out if you like them. I like the more firm feel, but not enough more to justify spending 5 - 8 times as much per catheter.

I've had real good luck with Rochester medical 100% silicone foleys. Been using them for over 5 years. I usually leave one in for between 5 and 14 days. I find them more comfortable than silicone coated latex ones.

Nursebendy, curious to know what kind of problems you have had with the 100% silicone ones?

I wonder if it has to do with the different brands?

Most problems that occurred from using 100% silicone Foley caths were irritation to the urethra. (Seeing blood coming out of that area was frightening)

Also had a spell of blood clots blocking the caths cause by irritation to bladder wall.

The silicone Foleys are much firmer than latex & it may have been because of the amount of transfers between vehicle & wheelchair that I do on a daily basis caused the trauma.

When I first started cathing my urologist preferred 100% silicone over latex coated because of possible latex allergies & coatings known to come off some types of catheters & cause problems.

Over time I tried many different brands, some better then others since using softer latex, I have not had too many problems (Knock on wood)

I use GHC Latex-Silicone Catheters. I didn't tried 100% silicone a time, but still thinking about giving a try.

It stay in place for 7 to 14 days, and try to have a day off between each.

After budget cutbacks, I moved from Silastic to regular "Bard" Silicone-coated latex catheters, for 20% of the cost, and for just a few days at a time, they seem identical. The 100% silicone catheters caused MUCH irritation to my bladder (soreness,spasms), probably because the stiffness of the silicone tip moving around my bladder when I walk.

Wondering if anyone has come up wit "a better mouse-trap" for keeping the tip of the penis lubricated, I wrap a 6" square of cling-wrap around the head of my penis to keep the lubricant trapped inside & keep lint/irritants out.

Isn't there a more elegant solution? Prior to that, I would wake up at night in pain when my penis dried-out and the catheter was pulling, or when at work my penis would dry and I'd hobble to the bathroom.. No more, but isn't there a better way?

My urologist also prefers the 100% silicone ones for the same reasons as nuresbendy's so I have stayed with them. At the beginning I did have problems due to irritation and spasms and sometimes some blood. I was using a leg bag at the time, after switching to a belly bag things seem to have settled down. With the belly bag I can walk and do most anything without it pulling on or moving the catheter much. I use a 14fr but have larger caths on hand and tried bending them while still in the package and it seems that the larger the cath the more rigid it seems to get. Just curious what size you are using?

Kilofoxtrotfour, The Bard Silastic caths are indeed a lovely soft cath, I never had a bit of trouble while using them. Only used those while I recovered from some of the problems I mentioned above, NHS don’t like to give me those for regular use (Must be cost issue)

Urologist wanted me to use suprapubic but I really didn’t like that idea.

Leakymikey, when I first started I too used 14ch 100% silicone, over time things have opened a bit & I suffered a lot of bypassing, so now I use 16ch.

I am full time catheter user,I use Bard Silastic 16Fr

30cc , change it every 2 months, and have little or no problems. Use a Belly Bag day time and a bedside bag at night. I drink loads of water to keep flushed out, thats why the 2000cc bag at night.

I have no sensation of having a catheter in me,don't even know it's there, very comfortable.

Went through my usual source but this time instead of just buying a box of foley catheters I was trying to find a complete catheter kit with a syringe filled with lube instead of the little packets. I ended up picking up a Bard Center-entry foley cath tray with a lubricath foley catheter. So once it came in I figured before my girlfriend decided to use it on me I'd try it out first just in case there were any special tips I could give her(being she's new to being my "nurse" 😃 ).

Apparently this kit is just like the ones in the instructional videos because it looked identical. So I went through the classic procedure to keep the sterile field and such and then grab the syringe filled with lubricant. I put about 1/2-3/4 of the lube in syringe in my urethra and then inserted the catheter. Now every once and awhile I'll have trouble inserting due to not enough lube or something but this went in like a hot knife through butter. Such an easy insertion! The only part that I actually felt was when it entered my bladder. I highly recommend this catheter kit for any new or experienced user, its absolutely wonderful!

Care to let us know exactly where you purchased this? I would love to get my hands on just that syringe!

Allegro medical.... they have the kits without catheters, with, etc... just make sure its the one that comes with the collection bag.. I believe all of those have the lube syringes

Thanks! I just got a delivery from them today, darn the luck! Next time I place an order, I'll get a full kit.

If I could make a suggestion based on my experience here in Canada. I presume the situation is similar in most (edit: ??some??) parts of the USA, and possibly the Commonwealth countries as well. (In Mexico you seem to be able to buy anything including pharmaceticals without a prescription.)

Catheters and urological supplies are often available locally from Home Health Care stores. I have two different suppliers, one with multiple retail store locations, one is a single store family owned company a five minute drive away. Both offer all the brand name products such as Bard, fresh stock with 2 or 3 year expiry dates, at lower prices than the internet. One of the reasons for the lower price is anything imported is subject to duties and taxes. In my area they are considered as "Essential Aids to Daily Living" and they are exempted from all forms of tax. Most of their customers are not ambulatory so if I phone in an order over $50 they offer free next day delivery right to my door. I have only used the free delivery once as I like to visit with the nice (retired) nurses who staff the store, and you never know what else you may find - Sterile saline for irrigation, or short expiry dated surgical gloves at a huge discount perhaps.

You will also find an extensive selection of exam room supplies beyond just urological supplies. I buy my Sterile Lubricant by the case of 12, a 10% discount over the usual $2.50 per tube (J&J retail K-Y is $7.00 tube last time I checked). Disposable enema bag kits sell for $3.00 each, exam table paper rolls are $6.00 for the deluxe heavy weight crepe, and the list goes on...

If you check your local Yellow Pages you may find exactly what you are looking for right in your own neighborhood, delivered right to your door, at the least possible cost.

We have plenty of medical supply places right nearby. Unfortunately in this state, you need a script to purchase catheters. That's why I always do my business online, at least for the time being.

Good advice though, for others that may live in areas where the state is not so prohibitive.

Play On!

I am aware that many places such as NYC have very strict controls over supplies such as syringes and needles. Also most items bear a warning that dispensing may be limited to a physician's prescription or order. Fortunately Canada is not as strict with most items. A certain level of control is provided in that if you were to walk in or call with no clue of what you want, they would likely chase you away quickly. However provided you appear to be legitimate with some knowledge of what you are buying, the only questions they are likely to ask is if you or your insurance is paying for it. It's a great system...

I am having the strangest thing happen. I am sitting here with a 18 ga cath with a 5 cc balloon. My penis is totally flacid, but I am leaking pre-come like a faucet. It is a strange feeling!

I've managed to cath myself with a 20 fr. slowly but I've noticed that since then I have a slight leak if I don't consciously think about squeezing those muscles when I start feeling the need to urinate. Now I'm doing kegle (spelling) exercises.

I also love to use cath. I'm cathed since 6 months, only for pleasure (yes it is). I change it each week, and can't notice I've something inserted. I use 16 or 18fr, and 30cc.

To avoid UTI, I tend to drink a lot. It seems to be a good way, nothing bad since the start.

Few times, I spend few hours with some big one, up to 24fr, but can't stay a long time without some disconfort. It's more for the insertion and removing feeling.

I am very new to all this.

what lube do you like ?

[/quote]

It's not so much what lube a person likes Stan - its more to do with what is the right lube to use.

Lubricants for any form of urethral insertion, catheters, sounds, etc MUST be sterile - and that does not just mean a new unopened tube of KY or some such.

Buy sterile - 'one time use' sachets of products made, packed and sold for the purpose - google "Sterile Lubricant Sachets" for a whole list of options. Use them once only and then discard

One addition to BigK's excellent point is that the lubricant MUST be water-based. The alternative is petroleum-based which will not only damage anything other than a 100% silicone catheter, but it should never be used for anything going inside the body.

There is something about having a basic bodily function taken away from you..then monitored and regulated. The urethra gets over looked as such a submissive place. Of course more precaution must be taken with this play.

I would like to share that I love catheters and sounds. Most importantly having them used on me! I have a set of sounds that I use on myself occasionaly. I love the feeling of that long smooth metal rods sliding down into my penis. It can hurt and be uncomfortable but it is such a turn on!

I like the idea of the control being taken away from me. Going in isn't so pleasant.

After reading all here would be purchasing supplies with the right knowledge. tk

Ive been using for play only Bard Foley catheters for years. I was using fr18 or 20 with a 30cc balloon, leaving them in most of the time for 8 to 10 hrs. I was getting a lot of spasms when using the 30cc balloon and someone told me to try the 5cc and for the most part the spasms have gone away.

Mine was just the opposite, I spasm with the 5 cc, but the 30 cc calms it down, I use 26 fr

I love to use Foley catheters as well right now i use a 18fr 5cc i like the feeling of having it in and the feeling of either the urine flowing down my leg into a bag or the feeling of it building up in my bladder when i have it clamped off

Outside my own will

I like urine being discharged.

Hold yourself resisting the pain

Imagine that the doctor put the catheter

To do.

Urine is stored in the back

I also like to see you go.

Saturday night sitting with a Foley 18 installed watching TV and watching my Bag fill, This is my once a week treat

bedtime soon I will sleep like a baby all night never getting up to PPPP best sleep I have all week.

Hope everyone else is enjoying the evening with whatever they doing...Rember life is short to enjoy...
