I don't have any experience with making yourself incontinent (my accident did that for me) but I definitely have experience with catheters. I tried intermittent cathing and had an SPC. I tried everything to keep me out of diapers. I was absolutely miserable. I had tons of infections. When I had a leg bag it fell out during PT (embarrassing). I for the life of me could not get the timing right for the flip flow so I was still peeing myself. It was horrible. I had the thing taken out, went back to diapers and have not looked back.
I'm a wheelchair user too and also an amputee (with a host of other medical issues) and am a huge fall risk. I empathize.
I am not going to try as far as I understand I have overflow incontinence and issues with retention and Nocternia due to either Sphinter or bladder neck (which he botoxed) which is not a long term solution if it works as well as injuring myself getting to bathroom numerous times per night due to falls and the interrupted sleep has consequences on my Bipolar, autism and other things.
I also don't want an external cath and cant self cath due to essential tremors in hands and my mobility is deterioating :'(
