I prefer the McGuire urinal to condom catheters for a number of reasons.  The McGuire urinal works very well and is comfortable for long periods of wear.  The internal cone-shaped sheath of the urinal forms a "dam" against leakage.  You don't have to live with that yanking feeling from the condom cath because the urinal has its own suspension system.  Get the model that has a detachable sheath, however, because cleaning is much easier and the supporter portion can be put into the washing machine with other things.  If you need to wear incontinence protection all the time, be sure to purchase at least two urinals so that cleaning and drying will be routine.  I am able to wear a urinal virtually continuously.   You need to fit it properly, however, so you minimize the contract area between your penis and the urine in the collection sheath.  This will ensure a long wear period.  Use the Hollister 9805 leg bag.  It is comfortable also and you will be able to go quite a while between "pit stops."   Finally, the Mentor (now Coloplast) urinal is the most comfortable for me and the Urocare is nearly as nice.  I don't care for the Champion unit because the inner sheath is too short and it exposes too much of the sensitive skin on the penal shaft to urine, causing rash and irritation.   For details on fitting, re-post a reply to this message and I will post.   Jim F.
