Some generic caths are just a condom with a short plastic tube attached. 
Quality caths are molded one-piece and have a little bulb (balloon?) between 
the penis and the drain bag. The generics are the ones that twist. Course 
they all twist to some degree.

i reuse mine for about a week.  nothing sticky involved.  anti-twist bulb, 
that's a new on on me.  you have a condom that can't twist?  what's it made 
out of?

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.

I know I probably mispelled some words.  My fingers just can't keep up nor 
are they well suited to  this type of function.  Please read for content
