I have had suprapubic a couple of times (when my urethra closed up so that a catheter couldn't be inserted) whilst waiting for a dilation. Mine was a few inches below my tummy button. Mine were done under local anaethetic or gas and air, it was very quick and not at all painful. Like you I was quite scared, but it was absolutely fine, so really don't worry about it. The tube is covered by a dressing and you just change it when you have a bath/shower. Best of luck x
