2 years for me. I had a Foley for a year before that. I much prefer the SP - my Peter is much too good looking to have a tube stuck down his throat! My PCAs change the SP every 3 weeks and it's very easy. It's about as difficult as changing a belly button ring. The only cleaning I do is wipe around the opening once a day with an antibacterial wet one and put a dab of triple antibiotic cream on it.
