Fed Up with Condom Catheter Issue

I find when trying to get any adhesive to stick I wipe the area with an alcohol wipe first allow it a minute to dry then apply the adhesive and find it sticks or wash the area better with soap, more than once which also helps but not as much.

Hi guys,

I'm not sure how far out of date my product preferences are, but I use a straight texas catheter (type not brand), which has no pre-adhesive. You have to apply the same glue to the penis as as ostomy users employ. There is, then a tape, or foam band wrapped in a spiral around the penis (it goes around just a little more than two times at proper tension for me).

So this is my point : you don't mention that band with your products.

In the old days, I used just the band and no glue. I smelled like a horse a lot of the time, but the leakage was very slight, and the condom was good for 48 hours that way.

Nowadays, I personally use a lot of glue. The key is to get the penis really dry, because that is where the seal comes from.

But the tape, which you start applying behind the head, and maybe as much as half way down the shaft (pulling the penis up straight while you are doing it) is what stops the phenomenon described of the penis withdrawing from the condom (and apparently from the glue as well). What happens is the tape, at the right tension (and this is a complex experience thing) will not impede flow, but will prevent the head from passing back up the sheath.

This penis pull-back is a natural thing your body does to protect the penis, particularly from cold. Apparently white guys have it (evolution for northern winters) more than blacks, which is also a partial explanation of why black dicks look larger when relaxed but are the the same in erection. (yeah right. off topic; trigger warning. etc)

In any case, I am now (after forty years of experience), capable of keeping the same condom, bone dry and no smell, for six and seven days at a time. I actually change the condom, before I would need to, in order to prevent skin troubles.

And I do not cheat on volume. I drink like a camel at bed time, and again when I wake up during the night and that is good for a liter or more, of bladder-washing every night.

Hope some of this helps,

That is interesting, and it definitely looks like it will do the job.

The problem of wrapping anything around your penis, however, is the possibility of skin injury along the edge of the device. I'm not sure that the device shown (when pulled tight) is as skin friendly as a foam tape wrapped around the condom at the right tension.

Of course I have never tried that device, so I can not say.

When I have skin trouble (and I do) The trick is just to vary the position of the tape, closer to the head or farther down the shaft. And not to leave it too long, of course. Five days is usually just fine, and as stated I do six and seven, also.
