Don't forget to do appropriate "manscaping" to reduce pulling...

That's for wimps, too. Real tough guys just rip the hair out.

What's with these so called 'men' nowadays?

Even that's a bit on the "softer-side" really.

Real men use the AC-corded version in the shower!

No, real men use a straight razor or their bowie knife

Here is the method that I use and it has been pretty much pain free since I went this route:

1 - Shower the night before, instead of the morning of, the scheduled dive. This will have "things" clean but still allow some body oils to accumulate in the specified area.

2 - Put the catheter on first thing in the morning rather than waiting to do it at the dive site.

3 - Leave it on until you get home after the dive.

4 - Removal should be very easy while in the shower.

5 - If diving multiple days, Make sure to use some type of adhesive remover to really clean up. The residue from the adhesive will tend to accumulate and it will be a rough go to remove it then.

Thank you. This appears to be the way to go.

Do you notice, it all the guys bitching about hooking up the plumbing and surface prep? The gals have a much more difficult issue and less complaints.

It like all the guys complaining about their first prostrate exam in middle age, makes great stories and jokes until you realize its a piece of cake compared to what the other 1/2 has to endure most of their life.

You sure are scoring some big points with the ladies. Wife over your shoulder?
