Four times a day manuals are a pain, so I prefer the cycler, 7 1/2 hours at night. Hopefully,  while I sleep. The problem i'm having is drain pain which wakes me up 3 times at night. It seems the placement of the catheter was so GOOD, that I get uninhibited suction on drain and feel it during the last 200 cc's. or so. And with the cycler, you can't control how hard it sucks... and it SUCKS.

The pain may subside in time. It took two months with manuals and about a week after the cycler. But every body is different.
