If you're not using a Texas catheter, you run a risk of getting back-flow into your bladder if you lift the night bag near the level of your bladder as you empty it. My night bag is plugged into the outlet of my leg bag so I can shut the leg bag valve or let the check valve stop any flow-back. Be very careful with that.

Hi guys, I would like to know........Am I the only one that when I put my bed bag under my chair, it cause me to have pain in the bladder or on my right side of the bottom of the belly because it seems that it is not draining properly that is why I have to put my bag on the floor and by doing that, I have less chance of having UTI. Let me know if someone had the same problem or have a solution?

I do. I have a hole cut in the left pocket of all my pants for the tubing and the bed bag connects to a loop under the seat of my chair. I have black material that covers the bag and tubing. I never have to worry about drinking too much or the tube kinking. So much easier and more reliable than my leg bag days.

Instead of the little slit ones. They hold the leg bag in place better without bunching up. I bought a box of them before because I heard they were not going to make them anymore and im running out.
