Can you wear binders or support belts without somehow kinking off the tube?
I need my binder and velcro strap for ab support.
Unsure if I'll ever get one but seems like putting a hole in the stomach would ask for more problems. Seeping, daily treatment of bandaging? Plus I trust NO Drs these days.

Hi Gale,
I think they said when I got mine 10 years ago that no baths for a week and no showers for 2 or 3 days but I might be wrong. Your doctor might have other ideas so it would be best to check with them to be safe. My catheter is a 24 FR., I don't think they use that big for indwelling. From what others have posted on the list I think they use a lot of different sizes depending on what the doctor decides is best for you.

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all having a great Sunday. I need some Information from new people that have suprapubic catheters.
1. Can you still take regular baths, or do you have to shower?
2. Do you use larger catheters than you use to use when they were indwelling?
Thanks,
Gale :-)
