At this point, I've stopped counting days cathed, and started counting days without a catheter.

48 hours (give or take) with the 22. This size is by far the most comfortable size I've ever used.

Um, yes they can and do. Just look at the 30 next to the 10. The 30 is an absolute unit in comparison. Imagine my fingers are the neck of a bladder. Look at how much more space the 30 cc balloon occupies inside the bladder. Bladder spasm city and not exactly comfortable for long term use. A 10 cc balloon is plenty to ensure that the catheter is securely anchored inside the bladder and really becomes unnoticeable about 5 minutes after insertion. A 30 cc balloon is just overkill and becomes outright uncomfortable after a couple hours.

As you can see, the 30 is an absolute unit next to the 10. The 10 is barely noticeable. The 30 is an almost contentious bladder spasm. Not to mention the sheer amount of space the 30 takes up within the bladder basically guarantees that the only convenient way of using one is when combined with a bag. Otherwise you'll be going to the restroom every hour or so. At least that's my experience. 10 CC's is plenty to ensure that the catheter stays in place. 30 is overkill and just plain uncomfortable.

I'm free from the cage btw.

As you can see, the 30 is an absolute unit compared to the 10. Just look at how much more room the 30 occupies inside the bladder. Not exactly pleasant for long term use. In my opinion anyway. I'm freed from the cage btw.

The earliest I can unlock is 3 am tomorrow morning. The question is will I unlock because doing so will require removal of the catheter. And silicone catheters are expensive.
