Hi Lori, I don't wear a binder anymore but never had trouble when I did. I have the person that gets me up in my chair check to make sure the catheter is not pinched in my clothing, lap strap, arm rest or any other place. I very seldom have any seeping unless it gets pulled on or in some kind of bind with clothing or something. If it is seeping or gets a little irritated is the only time I have any ointment put on it and the only time it is bandaged. I have it washed twice a day with a soapy wash cloth then rinsed with a clean cloth.   Todd  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.   Lori
