FW: Re: [QUAD-L] Mine and urine

[William Willis]

Silas, I don't use a condom cath at all anymore because my bladder will not 
void at all. When I did I used whatever was cheapest and made sure it had 
the anti-twist bulb at the end. I always added some extra adhesive as well, 
Skin-bond. I could never get them to stick without it.
It is almost impossible to re-use a condom cath. Gets pricey, I know. Take 
care.

 Hey William,
 When you remove the condom cath to straight cath can you put the same 
condom back on?  What condom do you use?
