a lot of pain. He has MS and I am his caregiver. I can not seem to make the catheter stay out far enough where it is comfortable for him. I am at my wits end and he is giving up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Would a condom catheter work for him so that he doesn't have to actually have something inserted into his urethra? There are tighter versions that are like condoms, and then there are looser versions that provide a cup-like device in which the penis rests. Both kinds attach to a leg bag.

Thank you for your input
