we're all friends here... let's talk p valves and sensitive bits...

Quick connect with shut off on suit side. Open flow on cath side. Don't see how that would prevent you from taking a pee without being connected.

Or are you putting the quick connect on the cath and the insert on the suit side?

I put the connector on the suit side, extra inserts with the caths and cleaning syringe. Inserts are cheap and if I lost one, would not feel bad about it.

Quick connect with no shutoff for the win.

And that can leak back into your suit when you disconnect or if you have valve leak when not connected.

Get over the fear of a drop of pee! If you are standing up when you disconnect anything in the hose will just run out so long as you keep the open end higher than the valve.

Well, with shutoff it works in the exactly same way as without one, except for the price difference which isn't much, so I'm going with shutoff.

Just ensure it clicks when you connect it!

How do I know that…. A 2h40 dive with 2 hours of decompression obligation and the inability to pee no matter how hard I tried to get the catheter to unstick!

I got one of these wideband Bard catheder things, seemingly size appropriate. I tried to put it on, but its so sticky that it stuck to my to the top of my "todger" and I couldn't roll it down, it was painful to pull it off because it was so attached. Do I need to lube up or something first to get that thing on?

Also - I presume these are one-use things?

I guess you could re-use them.. but I don't think that's recommended

It takes practice, no lube needed, but some people use something to break down the glue after the fact. Can't remember what it is though. I just peel it off.

Its more getting it on... it sticks to the first thing it touches, so I don't see how I can roll it down...

edit: I think larger size for the catheder is the key

If you were trying to fit a twisty pencil...
