I’ve had both types still have Supra pubic in for another month prefer this much easier to cope with & sleep with

Also have a release valve so can go out without leg bag on just empty when bladder feels full.

Not to much with the catheter, but with the leg bag strapped to your calf,, and the constant attention to see that it hasn't slipped down.

@alderton, good question. @victor1930, do you find the catheter uncomfortable?

Alderton, I have used the catheter for ten years, as of coming October. I have a plugged urethral valve from Gelsolin which invades, swells, leatherizes, and disables all the valves in the system. I started with ol' red floppies, but have now been on stiff tubes about 8 years. The only discomfort I really have is when I have to work a while, several minutes, to get the cath through the frozen valve. This nearly always raises pain and considerable blood, so my discomfort also comes when I have to clean up the spilled blood around the toilet. This happens every 5-7 days now, and lasts a day or so. I also leak a lot of blood into my shorts.
