Re: [QUAD-L] bed bags all day on the floor?

When you hang it under you there may be vertical loops in the line to where you aren't just letting the urine flow but it has to have more downward pressure to overcome the amount of line that is going back up. The extra pressure may have to come from your bladder. even with an anti back flow valve on the bag you can still have back flow from the line (i have no idea what you clean yours with). An anti back flow catheter tip may not help since it would be open while your bladder tries to force urine out. I've also seen normal folks look dead at a pinched line and not realize urine can't flow through it.
Good luck,
john

Hi guys,
I would like to know........Am I the only one that when I put my bed bag under my chair, it cause me to have pain in the bladder or on my right side of the bottom of the belly because it seems that it is not draining properly that is why I have to put my bag on the floor and by doing that, I have less chance of having UTI. Let me know if someone had the same problem or have a solution?
 
Thanks,

I use a bed bag most the time too, except for when I do therapy, I just put the bag through the pants leg, I put the bag in a black bag so it's not so obvious and hang it under my seat, its barely noticeable, the leg bag is actually more noticeable cos it always bulges up, and that way I can go all day without emptying, if I'm just at home I don't even use the black bag.

Hi Johnny,

Have you ever considered just using a bed bag while in your chair? I do. I have a hole cut in the left pocket of all my pants for the tubing and the bed bag connects to a loop under the seat of my chair. I have black material that covers the bag and tubing. I never have to worry about drinking too much or the tube kinking. So much easier and more reliable than my leg bag days.

Does anyone know where I can get the leg bags where they have the buttons on the 4 corners where the elastic band supports it  around the ends?    Instead of the little slit ones. They hold the leg bag in place better without bunching up.
I bought a box of them before because I heard they were not going to make them anymore and im running out.
