I use the Mentor LS (Long Seal) for my main cath, and if out, I will use the Conveen or Hollister Inview, and have used all day, walking a ton, and at the end of the day, was not sure I could trust it, but it had most all of the adhesive area still WELL intact, with no possibility of leaking any amount out, could have used all night too, was kind of surprised how well they held up to sweat and exercise!

Puffy, that is excellent. I have not yet checked the Mentor condom. When you say "Long Seal," does that mean a longer condom shaft or a larger area covered with adhesive?

I look forward to trying the Hollister InView. Despite my difficulties getting the Conveen Optima condom off before 24 hours, that same characteristic may make it very good for an active vacation outing in warm weather when perspiring. I am not throwing away any of my Conveen Optima condoms.

I just received notice that my shipment of supplies arrives on Tuesday and the experimentation will resume.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and help.

LS is specific to the width of the band of seal on the shaft, I like more for the added security, same as the Rochester Wideband. The Sport sheath has like 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch, not enough for even a couple hours, but for short term use, I guess it could work. Puffy

Well, after a successful weekend, I did mention some photos didn't I? Got into some HUGE old growth forest, saw a Gray whale as I was taking sunset pics, then spent an hour taking some of him whenever he surfaced, but no tail fluke. My first time that close to such an amazing creature, so close you could smell the spray from his blowhole... don't even go there people! Slept in the car, leg bag and all (only one night and didn't want to set up the entire tent and bed for one sleep), never leaked a drop, and no one was the wiser! Can't wait for the nxt trip, 2 weeks or so. With just urinary incon to cope with, the external system is a godsend! Puffy

You mastered the process, warm water, but a good warm bath works best.

Thanks Wetters, I love the new camera, and am starting to do portraits and such on the side. Lots to photograph around here, but really enjoy messing with time lapse stuff, waterfalls, star trails, car motion... Puffy
