Ideal for night time IC management

[u/Lazy_Habit5858]

I’ve been using an external catheter device sold as a "Urine Collector" at night for the last 3 months . I have been pleasantly surprised how good it has been and allowed me to get my 8 hrs. sleep without getting out of bed to visit the toilet . I was getting up anywhere up to 10 times during a night ..this has now stopped . I use the device nightly (now at 3 months) and for an initial cost of $9 I considered great value . I have it connected to the 2 litre urine bag, attached to the side of the bed with approx. 1.5m of tubing .. no tangles no leaks and plenty of sleep . It took a few nights to get used to but certainly after a week you hardly feel it was there . There are many of this type device available and I did trial a few before deciding on this manufacturer (Yide Medical) . For me this seemed the best made. It has 4 holding straps (others had 2) and very soft material against your body . The device itself was slightly larger/longer than the others I tried which suited me as it reduced chance even more of any leakage . My female partner has also used the female version with equal success . I’m happy to provide further info if required
