Belly Bag in the :Florida heat
This is a great product and as mentioned in other reviews it may take you a few times to adjust it to find your "sweet" spot. If you wear tighter slimmer cut shorts this is the answer to the leg bag issue. Here are a few things I learned. During those sweltering days in the summer you are going to need a barrier between the bag of the bag and your abdomen. I cut up some old t-shirt and place it on the back of the bag and fold it over. This prevents the bag from getting that perspiration smell. It also prevents any rubbing or rashes from the heat. In addition, this bag should be emptied often. No more so than you would if you didn't have the cath but it helps to try to keep the bag content no more than half full. Otherwise, you will get some bulging and the heat from your body fluids makes you hotter. Finally, I am a VERY active man in my 40's. With physician approval, I can swim, walk, ride my bike and have even played volleyball with this bag. As far as other reviewers mentioning an issue with gravity and proper drainage...once you find a comfortable, lower abdominal spot, the drainage issue goes away. Great summertime product that only needed a few tweaks.
