Chris has been using a nylon bag. Problem is the tube gets bent. Any suggestions on storing a catheter so it stays straight and more stiff?Especially in hot cars in Fla.
I tried a hangar tube, not large enough, tried a wire hangar, couldn't get it through, afraid to put a hole in the catheter.

Keep an insulated cooler in the car.
To keep the catheter straight try using a money belt or long fanny pack.

Maybe I am dumb here but why not use a curved one? I find that they go in easier and don't have the cracking problem that the strait ones do. then I carry them in pencil cases, usually plastic lined or makeup bags, always lined with plastic. Try the kind with little pockets on the inside or out for the individual lubricant packages and stoma toppers.

what I have been doing is cutting the cather down to size then folding the end (the end without the holes) and keeping it in a toothbrush carrier container. I have found that the fold at the end can be pointed straight down into the toilet.

Thanks
I will try. Chris has a valve that goes up so curved may not work, either way he is stubborn and won't try it!

Should have mentioned this, and almost found it out the hardway. Make sure you dont pick up a toothbrush carrier with a little vent hole in it, otherwise you could end up with a wet pocket.

Hi Holly
How is Chris doing? Is he feeling well and gained some weight?
