How about hanging a pouch underneath your wheelchair and putting the bag inside 
of the pouch.  That way you have gravity working for you and draining down into 
the legbag inside the pouch.  You can set it up so that it's discreet and no 
one sees the tubing or bag.  Of course, you'll need to remember to move it when 
you transfer.

I don't know which condom caths you use, but there are some brands and models 
with more adhesive than others.  I highly recommend the Hollister Extra.  You 
can order free samples online:

  Subject: [QUAD-L] Condom cath


  I use the pop-on condoms with just regular leg bag 
(https://www.edgepark.com/shopcatalog/showitemdetails.cfm?psku=509348&QTY=3&PageRef=Update&OrderID=5290584)

  Since I live alone with no assistance, i cant use the straps to attach the 
bag to my shin area like im supposed to, and emptying it in that position is a 
pita.  As a result, everything kind of resides in the front area of my pants.  
Since there is no gravity working, the condom will just fill up and blow off, 
instead of going through the tube into the bag.  If I am in a bathroom, its 
easy to just pull the bag out and let gravity do its thing but if i'm stuck 
somewhere else, there's no pint in wearing this thing because it just doesn't 
work.  

  Is there any alternatives or a different product that would work?
