I've been having a small problem with the catheter and bag. For one the bag and the elastic made me itch but, more importantly, I kept feeling like I wanted to pee and wasn't sure the bag was in the right place. I thought gravity may help. So, I strapped the bag to the front of my calf, I'm using the strap to keep the tubes from flailing about and wearing a bath towel as s maxi skirt until I buy a couple. I cannot stress how much more comfortable this is compared to strapping it to the thigh.
I need loose trousers and ankle length skirts in case I need them in the future.
