Judy: 1, p.

5.) Once dressed, care must be taken to keep underpants from constricting the catheter in the crotch area.
6.) Because I do not use a leg bag for urine collection, a larger, more noticeable drainage bag is attached securely to the side of my wheelchair. It is important to make sure that the tubing does not become tangled in the wheels. To make this arrangement less conspicuous, we use a zippered plastic attache case as a cover-up.
b. Menstrual Period - Because of so many h ours spent in the wheelchair, with no possibility of changing the pad, I find the following to be best for me:
1). One-fourth of an extra absorbent birds-eye diaper, folding in sixths, makes a soft, non-abrasive, easily placed pad. This should be situated in such a way that it is smooth, not binding and away from the catheter. (It is because of the catheter that a belt cannot be used.)
2). For slower days, mini-pads are small enough to be used safely.
3). Some might find Tampax satisfactory, but I have never been daring enough to try them with the catheter.
