I only had the night bag; was not a problem for me.
I carried or rested the bag in a plastic bucket and walked with it in the house.
My catheter experience was benign; highly recommend daily cleaning and lubricating of tube. Easy to understand online videos, including one from Mayo.
Best wishes.

I did the bucket thing and vowed to never do that again. It was just a nuisance 100% of the time. I mostly used the night bag as well, but did use the leg bag for outings. What I ended up doing the last two days was hang the hook of the bag on my breakaway pant snaps down my leg, 100% more comfortable. I wasn't worry about a leak.
