For sensitive skin, consider using a skin barrier wipe or spray before applying the catheter.It is recommended that the skin should be cleaned with a mild soap that does not contain moisturizers.How to Choose a Size of Male CatheterMeasure the circumference of the penis, using the sizing guide. Measure the widest part of the non-erect penis. If the penis is circumference is in between two sizes, select the smaller size. Selecting the larger size can result in wrinkles, which can trap urine and promote eventual detachment of the catheter.Using the ruler, determine the appropriate sheath length: Standard (about 4 inches or 10 cm) or Sport (about 2 inches or 5 cm), keeping in mind that you do not want any excess role/sheath. https://www.biorelief.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Sizing-a-Male-External-Condom-Catheter-Using-a-Measurement-Guide.mp4  Instructions for applying the Conveen Optima Male CatheterTrim pubic hair.

When a skin barrier is applied to the area of the penis that the adhesive in the sheath of the catheter comes in contact with, it creates an invisible shield.  It can also be called a “fake skin”.  The skin barrier acts as a shield for the skin so that the adhesive is not coming in contact with the skin, but the barrier itself.  The skin barrier is easily removed using warm water and soap.
