I tried it once, but my hands and fingers do not work that will and I
was unable to get it on. I wish they made one in the style of a
baseball pitcher's cup. I don't know if that would work or not but it
sure would be easier to put on.
I don't require an extra small, but the damn thing likes to hide.

Doug, if a mere female can intrude on this male subject. As an ET nurse I had
knowledge of many of the companies that manufacture ostomy and uninary
continence supplies. I have seen a condom catheter made by Hollister that has a
small plastic insert that is a big help with application. Hard to describe, but
the plastic guide slips off after the catheter is on. Trouble is this is more
expensive than the usual condom catheter. Talk to your medical supply store
about getting samples, of go on-line and find Hollister, they operate
world-wide.

Go to http://www.hollister.com/

There are many choices, one is Talk to an Expert that gives both an e- mail
address and an 800 number to call. There is also a place to order a sample. Why
not give them a call and see if they can help.

Joan, no problem on the intrusion, any advice from anybody is well
taken. And you being an ET nurse of the course would have more
knowledge. I will take your advice and check into this. Thank you
very much for the information.
