Type of Urine Collection bag to use
What I would suggest is the type or bag that is called a leg bag. Leg bags are meant to be strapped to the leg of the wearer of the condom catheter. This allows the person to be mobile and do normal everyday activities. You can buy reusable ones or disposable ones. Obviously, I would recommend the disposable kind for sanitary reasons.
Things to look for in the leg bag. The quality disposable ones have a one way valve at the entry point. This only allows urine to pass one way into the urine collection bag and will not back up into the tubing connecting the condom catheter to the leg bag. Another nice feature is to get one with a bottom valve so the bag can be emptied. With these 2 features in the leg bag, the bag can easily be detached and emptied. A disposable bag can be reused over a single use setting, lets say 24 hours. Or said a better way, the disposable ones are designed to be emptied multiple times in a single use setting before discarding. One leg beg would be sufficient for a single day use even though you might have to empty to bag once or twice throughout the day evening.
In case anyone would really dare to wear it for longer or even overnight (you never know) I would like to add the advice, that if it isn't attached to the leg (e.g. whilst watching TV, or being asleep or so) to place it in a bowl...cause yes, they are meant to be strong enough to hold it's fluid, but quite frankly, once in a while their manufacturing can go wrong, too...
in that matter...[sm=mop.gif]
