@mirsy Will get information about the condom catheter. Again, thanks for your valuable input!

@mirsy The condom catheter was a nightmare for me. Dragging a bag strapped onto my leg all day. Shorts, swimming, things of the past. Switching from daytime to nighttime bags. Disgusting equipment failures.
The Weisner clamp worn 16-20 hours a day solved 99% of my problems. The 1% is I use one pad a day. A small sacrifice.

@mirsy the condom catheter is temporary. It took 3 tries to get one to stay on. Urologist had samples. Once I got the correct size I went to mayo store and bought lots. I used it for my 40 hbo treatments because I could not hold it for 2 1/2 hours for each treatment. Couple of times for a road trip. Still need the leg bag but much nicer without Foley catheter.
