This product might be of interest, but it is presented like spam. Won't pdabel01 (who has only made this one posting) reveal their connection to this company?

Aloha All, ordered some of these, will post a review when I receive them.  Right now I'm using a shower shield for my leg catheter.

Do you have any affiliation with CathDry?   I'm asking because you post sounds more like marketing drivel than an actual comment by a user.

Received the product but it's too short for my tunnel catheter in my leg.  Contacted the maker and he offered a refund or he is making a longer version of the original.  I opted to wait for the longer model will update when I receive the newer ones.

Aloha All, received the newer longer Cath-Dry and it works.  I don't have to use my shower shield and I can move around more with the Cath-Dry.  Been using it since arriving in Hawaii on Thanksgiving and it's been keeping my tunnel catheter dry.  I will be ordering more for use back in Okinawa.  Note I had just one incident where I didn't seal it all the way and it turns the seal red to indicate a leak.  Hope this helps.  Mahalo Dr. Pascal for listening and making a longer model of your Cath-Dry.
