First time wearing my Foley in Public

Hello all

Well today I came out my closet, I went shopping wearing my Foley catheter with a leg bag. All went well, great shopping all day, only had to go drain my bag about every 2 hours great day, I hope I do this again .

Any tips or suggestion….Thanks…

Every two hours seems excessive. How much volume do you have For those drains? My wife has a suprapubic catheter and we only change it in the morning and night.

IS this something you are doing to fun or medical necessary? Did you ever try wearing it with the catheter plugged and no bag?

Did it for fun i enjoy having a Foley installed up to now i have only did it on weekends at home ,,.I think i have a overactive Bladder...

People tend to pee about 100 ml per hour. Emptying a pee bag every two hours seems excessive, unless you are wearing one of the 300ml size. Most leg bags are 600ml or 900ml.

I think every 2 hours is a bit excessive, but some of that may depend on how much you drink, do you take diuretics and a host of other things.

I have had my catheter in for a week, I empty my leg bag about 5 times a day, or more. I do this so that I don't have a lot of weight on my leg and that the strap holding my leg bag doesn't get pulled down and pull on the catheter in me.

I do love the feel of a catheter, so far I have had no problems. I can even masturbate with my catheter in me.

If you have difficulty with pee bags on your leg, you might want to look into a Belly Bag, like the B1000 from Rusch

Many suppliers sell them. They can be worn unobtrusively, even to the mall, etc. and hold 1000ml and can easily be emptied while sitting on a toilet.

Emptying a leg bag every 2 hours isn't excessive. I've had to wear them for days on end medically and even though you get a 400, 600 or 1000 ml bag, at about half way full they start becoming uncomfortable, and you get the sloshing liquid sound when you walk. So you really do have to empty it half way or less. In terms of tips, make sure you have the catheter secured in place and don't rely on the leg bag straps. As the bag fills, those can fall down and pull on the tube.
