to be honest although i've obviously secured the leg bag i've never secured the cath tube although they have given me things to stick to my leg for that purpose.
also the district nurse never seemed concerned that the tube was not secured.
i posted previously about "flip flo" valves but i still afraid to try them as i've had no feedback or don't know anyone who has used them.
i'm quite active but always aware of the cath's presence.

2&1/2 bottles of port wine a week at say 18% alcohol content, is roughly 4 standard drinks per day. Every day.
Just so that you know ...
