I do like Don suggests and even use a 2.5L bedside bag. Can't fill it up in 8+ hours and the tubing, which I thread through a hole cut in my pocket, won't/can't kink. Has worked great for many years.

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.

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? Todd D C-6
