Still in Pursuit of a Better Mousetrap

[E2-Guy]

My paper towels/plastic bag 'rig' works quite well while sitting at my desk or just playing with my cacti; however, extended walks, gym visits, stairs, and getting in and out of my truck can be a problem. I don't know why I ever bought a 4x4 when I can't even remember (thank God) what snow looks like! My latest contraption consisting of a catheter condom & ballon seems to be doing a pretty good job of controlling my leakage for 2 to 3 hours while I'm out. The smallest urine collection bags that I've found here are ½ litre which are way larger than what I need.

Hi Ron,

Happy New ¥ear, old friend.

Your leakage protection contraption appears to be very professionally constructed. I think there might be a business in producing them for guys like us in need of simple protection without drugs and surgery. In Thailand, I'll bet you could find some clever manufacturer to produce them inexpensively and create yourself a little business venture.

Stay safe and hidden during this Covid omicron variant spread. I'm in monastery mode seeing no one and going no place until things improve so one could get care in a hospital if that care is needed. In New England and elsewhere around the US, many hospitals have begun rationing care since the health care providers are exhausted, stressed out, and falling ill themselves. The hospitals are short staffed. It's grim out there.

Take care of yourself,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the New Year wish and the encouraging reply! I just used the large end of a caulking tube nozzle and glued a piece of plastic tubing in that the condom fits over. All I would need is a plastic bushing (made on a lathe) to accommodate the tube and the balloon.

I'm still going out to lunch almost every day with my significant other and a couple of friends. Not a whole lot of anything going on at night since bars are 'supposed' to be closed...doesn't bother me since I never was a drinker. Our hospitals are still doing a decent job of taking care of patients despite the recent outbreak of C-crap.

Happy to hear that you are doing OK.

Sending warm 2022 greetings from abroad,

Ron

Yes, despite being vaccinated and boosted I've given up playing weekend poker tournaments until the omicron surge dies down a bit. I still go to the gym three times a week. I'll risk exposure there in the pursuit of strength and cardio benefits.

….dont forget about that safety pin.

Monkeys like to strip rubber off of cars and eat it. Don't let them smell your rubber contraption!

[E2-Guy in reply to Tall_Allen]

I do my best to avoid them ever since they figured out the way to remove and steal my wiper blades. Obnoxious little shits!☹️

Tall_Allen, I could not stop laughing for several minutes after reading your line. 😂

I am really impressed with your urine capture device (UCD). Someone with a 3D printer may be able to make the necessary fitting(s). I think that a bag that straps to your upper thigh might work, with a flap valve that prevents back flow (in case the bag is compressed accidentally). The urine will travel down by gravity. The tricky part is a condom that stays on a flaccid penis, but seems you have figured that out. Cheers, Phil

[E2-Guy in reply to PhilipSZacarias]

Thank you Phil for the kind reply! I never thought about a 3D printer, but that may be the way to go. My little guy is obviously "flaccid" (a perfect adjective to describe it); however, I still wrap him in a paper towel secured with a few small rubber bands, plus I always wear briefs which help to hold the condom in place. I just started using this device and I will post updates on my success or lack of.

Cheers,

Ron

Are you guys sure about these contraptions? How about clamps? I've got a collection (from various Amazon vendors) and use different ones at different times. Often just wear boxer shorts and a clamp under my pants with considerable success. A little awkward for tennis where I definitely wear a pad. But clamps are great for walking and yardwork including lawn mowing.
