Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about trying condom catheters and I’d like to get some advice on proper application.

I currently use intermittent catheterization (IC), but I don’t always have easy access to a bathroom when I’m out and about. On busy days, I think a condom catheter might be a good backup option.

I’m circumcised, but I still have a bit of skin that can roll forward over the circumcision scar when my penis is flaccid and somewhat retracted. When I’m more relaxed, everything evens out.

My question is about application: should the catheter go over that skin when it’s rolled forward, or should I retract/straighten everything first before applying it?

Any tips or personal experience would be appreciated. Thanks!
