Thanks KimberlyB, I actually did something similar. I had the wife sew a sleeve into the inside of my shorts and inserted the bag into it. Did not go into a pool but the sea. Everything stayed intact including the external catheter despite being pummeled by waves-I get hit by every wave. Still getting up the nerve to get into a public pool.

s2. there are no prices on your site. I am interested in hearing about the other options.

Recently a post appeared regarding catheters and access to swimming pools. The post did not originate from S2 Medical Supply; however, we take responsibility for it because it came from a company that maintains our posting on this website. The ill-informed post was done without our approval and we regret any confusion or offense as a result of the post. Our policy is to never give direct advice except as it relates to knowledge of urological products and their use.

Authentic S2 Medical Supply blogs usually involve factual matters such as Medicare coverage issues, commonly encountered issues with a urological product, differences between the same products offered by several manufacturers as stated by the manufacturer., etc. Our effort is to provide information that may not be readily or easily accessible. This is always in an effort to equip or empower individuals with information that can be used in their overall healthcare or to improve their quality of life.

Please accept our apologies for the post,

I am not a guy, but I have an ostomy bag, and I am allowed to swim at any public pool. I have also seen a lot of men at the local health club with leg bags on and swimming during physical therapy.
If you have any elastic bandage (like the kind they use after you get your blood drawn at some doctor's offices), you can wrap the tubing to your leg, so it will be less cumbersome and also less likely to come off of the catheter end.
The only thing I was told in terms of my ostomy was that it had to be emptied before I entered the pool (I do this anyway), and to tape the wafer to my skin when I am in the pool to avoid it leaking.

Well Swimming is one of the best exercise which helps to maintain fitness and make your parts of body strong as well . I usually use supra pubic catheter when going for public pool and when i have to go in pool for swimming i use jeans as well . I would be pleased to know your ideas about it ?
