Texas Catheter not staying on due to my buddy going "Full Turtle"

[rfwoodvt]

Title pretty much sums it up. I cannot keep the catheter in place.

I can put the catheter on no problem, wide-band or otherwise, extra adhesive or not, and after a couple hours, size up or size down, adhesive in the cup, adhesive all along the shaft, primer or no primer, alcohol prep or none. Goes on every time.

However, once the catheter is rolled on its only a matter of time before my buddy goes full turtle and eventually rolls himself right out of the catheter.

Anyone have similar issues and how did you solve them?

Thanks for your input.

Wide Bands -with an “incontinence pad” over the entire unit as back-up. Use a Speedo Jammer swim short to hold it in place, and readjust as necessary on surface interval between dives (crotch strap of a BP holds everything firmly together externally around the groin area of the drysuit during the dive as well). . .

Firm, 5 sec squeezes with fingers of the left and right hands (separately) to ensure the adhesive takes a good hold.

Foreskin or cut? I don't have one, but I have long wondered whether it stays on better with one. I have/had the same problem, but I developed a technique that works somewhat.

Cut. Was thinking the same that having one might make a difference in this application.

Tried using adhesive further towards the tip and in the cup of the cath and while that often works, sometimes it is literally a pain, and more often only takes a couple hours longer to pull out of it.

If urobond adhesive could be used I've tried just about every possible skin surface, stopping just short gluing myself shut.

Would be interested in the technique you developed.

alcohol prep or none.

Just tried alcohol or have you tried actual skin prep pads? I haven't had a single blowout since I started doing a full tip-to-base wipe down and let dry with these prior to suiting the little guy up:

Have you tried a stapler?
