Urine flowing around the tetherspout
I've been trying tetherspouts for a bit over a month, starting with the 2 smallest Ternence sizes. After getting used to the feeling, the 8 mm + 10 mm (smallest) fits well and doesn't escape, but still I'm trying the 9 mm + 11 mm to see if it's easier to use as an anti-escape tool.
I was able to fit the 9 mm after a little stretching (I haven't done any sounding before ever). It's a tight fit, but I can wear it in the default position (it kinda snaps in place with the retainer when I push it in) indefinitely and I don't even feel it unless it gets caught in underwear and hurts a bit to push it in. I can feel the 8 mm when it's pushed in, but it isn't uncomfortable.
All that to say that I think the 9 mm is a tight fit, and any size bigger will be uncomfortable or won't even go in. Still, I was testing the waters with a drill stopper to lock it to a cage, but I notice there is still a little bit of urine flowing around the tetherspout.
Is it common? Is there anything I can do to prevent that? If not, how do you deal with higiene with the urine that gets caught behind the locking ring?
