Urethral Tube - Will I be incontinent?

[365Daytona]

I am curious about urethral tubes but am concerned that it will cause incontinence. Is that an issue with urethral tubes?

i don’t think they can unless the tube is so long it goes through the “control valve” at the bladder and so holds it open in the way a catheter does. You don’t control the release of urine within your penis but back at the bladder itself.

I am worried about the use of urethral tubes, especially metal and rubber-connected urethral tubes. I am always worried that the metal parts will loosen and fall into the urethra. It will be a terrible thing.

The PVC-type plastic does not seem to get sufficiently malleable at body temperature to become loose enough to allow the metal insert to detach. I use the same type of tubing for brewing beer, some of which has been in use for more than 20 years and shows no reduction in 'grip' of the accessories inserted.

These types of devices have been available for quite some time. I would think that we would have heard by now of such a failure, if it had occurred.

K-Y is a disinfectant lube that is recommended for this. I however lack the practical experience, as of yet.
Can someone of the experienced practitioners back this up?

I've never heard of K-Y being a disinfectant.

My bad. It is sterile, that was the advantage.

No tube of anything is sterile after it has been opened. i say again:

If you want to avoid a UTI do NOT use a urethral tube for long term use !! If you are determined to disregard the warnings you have been given by myself and others and do it anyway please don’t complain if/when it goes wrong.
