Anyone have solutions for keeping nightbags attatched ?

I've had issues lately with my nightbag coming away from my urine pouch in the night . Im starting to get really down so any ideas or solutions would be very welcome . 

  • Hello  

    A warm welcome to the Community and I fully understand your issue.

    I had an indwelling catheter for 10 months and after a couple of weeks got fed up with the "thud" of the night bad dropping off the stand.

    Solution 

    * Ensure all the holes at the top of the bag are full on the studs.

    * Attach 3 large bulldog clips to the top of the bag/stand.

    Result  - a great night's sleep and a bag still on it's stand in the morning.

    If the issue is the actual night bag and smaller bag becoming detached during sleep (I had that once and once only) I ensured the bag was fully pushed up the rubber ribs - it did involve some effort to separate it in the morning - but well worth it.

    I hope the above is of help.

    Best wishes - Brian.
