Well, I've been in mine pretty much 24/7 for months at a time and have never had an issue. I wash it 1.5 times a day, at least once with anti-bacterial shower gel. No issues with icky and smelly bacteria of any kind.
Of course, common sense in required. It will start to smell if I don't keep it clean. It does require tending. It's really no different than any of the polycarbonate devices on the market in that regard.
The JB is, obviously, easier to clean up, but in the few days I wore it I didn't notice a huge difference in it *needing* to be cleaned. It's still attached to where the urine comes out and still gets some on it over the course of the day. The only benefit of the open cage was that it saved me 3-5 minutes in the shower every morning.
