@sperio I am getting a box of several types from the cath supplier today. Not sure if Coloplast is one of them. I’ve heard several people mention Coloplast as a good option. My ins coverage is good, but not sure if Coloplast is on the list, or not. I will ask and get samples, if so. It has been a bit of a challenge “getting in” with having BPH in addition to the urine retention. See the doc for followup after the UDS, so hoping for some options. 5 x seems like a lot. I’ve heard of people doing 6. I guess you really just adjust. Thanks for the tip.
