Removing the condom cath

[jale]

but still the main question is:
are you a grower or a shower?

Another trick is to put the catheter on before setting off, in the privacy of your own home or hotel room. Two reasons:

1) if it's cold out, your 'little fella' won't want to play ball and will shrink up making it difficult to get a descent purchase. This is further compounded by either trying to balance in a swaying boat head, or finding a corner of a changing room surrounded by male voices. Neither of which I find conducive to putting something on my willy.

2) the additional time it's been in place will allow natural oils to generate assisting with the removal process (as previously mentioned up thread)

Oh, and just to reinforce the manscaping suggestion. It's amazing how long those sneaky pubes can get.

One extra trick: keep at least one XXXL catheter in your 'save a dive box'. That way when someone on the dive boat proclaims they've forgotten theres, with a flurish you can produce a spare, to much aplomb and envious / admiring glances.

The maturity level is dropping but I had a damn good laugh

OK, my findings...
Manscape is a must. Not once, a few times. I start a few days early if it has not been done in a long time. When you think you have everything, the next day do it again and clean what you missed. If you leave any, you will know. As itchy as the stubble is, the glue sticking to the stubble isn't much of a problem. If you leave hairs, you will know. After a few mistakes you will know what needs to be done.

My removal process hasn't been mentioned yet. Stretch, really stretch. Your (let's be generous) 52mm cath will stretch to about 500mm. That stretching also stretches out the adhesive making it much weaker. Stretch at a 90° angle to the shaft. The skin that is a little loose, gently roll that off the stretched cath. Work your way around. It turns into a no big deal.

As for the glue residue, generally not an issue but in a day or two it will collect a bunch of lint. Few little spots, not the whole thing. There are the wipes, never used them. Considering what I contact on a daily basis, WD40 is pretty mild. A little on a paper towel and the glue cleans right off, do it before a shower and you can wash the WD40 off.

Went from the first time I tried thinking "how am I going to explain this to the ER doc" to I can pretty much do it in a parking lot behind a car door and not look too disturbing. Although hitting a restroom and taking the privacy of a stall is better. The longer the better is generally true, but it will come off before I go to sleep.

WD40?

WD40?

Why not? Probably lubes better than KY Jelly.

WD40?

Use it often in everyday jobs to remove glue residue. Never hurt my hands or irritates any skin it platters on. One day I had a little residue downstairs and thought "this is probably a stupid idea" but tried it. Worked great. Didn't leave a mess at all but I went ahead and took a shower. The manscaping part is worse. Even one single wild hair hurts like hell. WD40 on a paper towel is nothing. The urban legend is WD40 is fish oil.

I use this stuff:

Doc gave me some to remove some adhesive after a surgery. I've used them for removing adhesive from flesh ever since. Still, I end up doing the "rip" method with condom caths. You have to go really slow if you want to try and get the solvent up under the condom.

You'll have to wash off the oily adhesive remove with soap after using them.

I take a shower after diving anyway so no big deal there.
