Rusch - Teleflex B1000 Belly Bag Urine Bag, Bellybag Drnbag 1000cc

When I realized I was going to need a catheter and was originally equipped by the nurse with a leg bag before leaving the hospital, I was very depressed with the unsightly and uncomfortable new arrangement. Over a period of the first few weeks I was totally disappointed with the performance and, also, I was forced to wear long pants and restrict my activities. Living in Florida and accustomed to shorts and daily trips to the fitness center, I made a concerted effort to find an alternative to the leg bag in an attempt to return to my routines of daily life. I was cautiously optimistic when I read about the Belly Bag on Amazon because it appeared to address many of my problems. So, I ordered one and could not be more pleased with the outcome. I'm back to the gym and back to wearing shorts whenever I please. In fact, only those friends and relatives we have told know I wear a belly bag. It's also much more comfortable during the day or night and designed for ease of emptying without leakage.I hope this will help others who may benefit as I have and reduce the trauma and discomfort that will improve their life. Truly a wonderful product.

No odor or fluid leakages. Decently durable enough to last the whole day. Easily noticeable pressure when full. Discreet. Simple. Definitely will buy again.

Had prostate issue which required inserting a catheter on a continuous basis for up to 30 days. This "belly bag" is far superior to the leg bag, which is uncomfortable. It almost feels normal. I had no leakage.

these work great, needs a better securement system and a way so that the back doesn't irritate th skin“This product works wonders for me. So much better then a typical 1000 ML leg bag while having the same 1000 ML capacityGone is the bag slipping down your leg or straps leaving marks on them.Can easily be hidden under underwear/shorts and unless you let it fill more then halfway up when it starts to bulge out, no one even notices itThis bag needs a strap at the bottom to hold it in place as the single strap above tends to slip from the weightPlus you need to find a sweet spot for the strap, too loose and it slips, too tight and it constricts your chest creating an hour-glass figure.this bag could benefit from having a swivel for the re-flux valve , and some extra tube between it and catheter as it tends to yank your urethra vertically without more tube. Lastly the twist turn valve works, but it's cumbersome and a pain to unscrew or tighten, would really benefit from a T tap valve at the bottom instead”these two pictures show the bag at full 1000 ml capacity from over night

There are only two disadvantages - 1) Medicare does not pay for this urological supply and 2) the bag is a bit pricey but well worth the money for the freedom it brings.I was always tired of having to wear long, baggy shorts in the summer to hide a leg bag and still had "whoops" moments. With the belly bag, you can't tell as it is well hidden in the lower abdomen area.

I have been using a belly bag with my own design catheter (90 degree elbow - to "hug" body" and attach to the bag - see photo) for almost 10 years. The bags are incredibly easy to wear, use and maintain -- WAY (and I mean "WAY") better than ANY leg bag on Earth!!!! And for those that think that gravity only goes "down" - the belly bag fills because of the pressure within your bladder - NOT gravity - so having the valve in the direction it is located - and the bag around the "belly" - makes 100% sense!!! To prevent leaks the catheter should be mated to the valve stem with A LOT of force - which will keep it in place - running, swimming, other sports - including contact are ALL totally possible with the belly bag - and NO-ONE will EVER know you are wearing it - unless you WANT THEM TO!!!!The ONLY reason this I have rated the product a "3" and NOT a "5" (the functionality IS a five - but the quality of manufacturing is a ONE "1"!!!!) In my experience, EVERY SINGLE one of these that I have EVER worn - eventually leaked through either a pin-hole along an edge seam, or a plastic "weld" seam between the valve material and the bag itself. A 100% possible failure rate!!!!!!!!I typically keep 3 of these "ready" (washing and drying 1, while storing a 2nd and wearing a third - a three day "rotation") - after 3 months I throw all 3 OUT - as they WILL begin to leak!!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!I clean the one worn every day (and then rotate to the next one of the three) - with Clorox spray cleaner with bleach - both inside and outside the bag - and then let it dry. These keeps the bacteria count really low. The bag smelling fresh and clean!!!In spite of the OVERALL "3" rating - I HIGHLY recommend this product for its FUNCTION - just use it within its material and manufacturing limits and then throw it away BEFORE it begins to leak!!!!

It’s needs to be a little smaller, it’s bad enough it’s going to be noticed but that much my pants won’t even fit. It’s bad enough to have to use these products but when no concern is made for people to feel comfortable using them. I’m regretting having this surgery done. I have to deal with the fact that when it’s hot out I have to wear long pants and can’t enjoy wearing my shorts or a bathing suit anymore

So happy to have found this product! Feel so much more like a normal person.
