The standard method works fine, but it's pretty uncomfortable - especially when trying to sleep.
But the actual removal was a non-event.
The thought of it being slid out was much worse than the reality - which was a 5-second tickle.

I had a Foley Catheter after a bladder cancer growth removal and it was a pain in the neck. On the second day at home it started leaking when I peed. After 3 more days with the leakage getting worse I had it adjusted and it leaked twice and then came out on it's own. I'm thinking the adjustment was faulty. However, I was sure glad I was rid of it. Had no more problems. Certainly didn't ask that they re-install it.
