Thanks Lyle, I am always wearing regular diapers with the foley, I have had a little bit of bleeding and commonly have some mucous type discharge, so I wouldn't want to wear regular underwear over it, I'd be afraid of ruining my underwear (I rarely wear it anymore, as it is) I use the baby wipes as well to cleanse there, those work really well for me. I have also begun using a neosporin like product on the tip of my penis where the catheter enters (non petroleum based, of course) it has made a world of difference. There is still some redness and irritation but for the most part it has helped the pain immensely. Well worth mentioning.......this has extended the time I am able to be catheterized. Since I am more or less with a foley for comfort more than necessity. I can live without it, I would just spend my life in the bathroom chained to the toilet......
