When my father could no longer leave his bed due to a bad infection, he had a really hard time going to the bathroom. Many of the doctors suggested that we put a catheter in to help with this problem, but I really didn’t want my father to have to suffer with this. I knew that the procedure would be very uncomfortable and that it would make him feel terrible to have to have this.

I began to look for a lot of different options that I could use just to make sure that he would be able to stay comfortable on a regular basis. We needed some kind of an option that wouldn’t allow for spilling as many bedside urinals do. After a lot of searching, I was able to find a spill proof urinal men could actually use in bed without any difficulty at all.

This was something that was perfect for my father in his condition and it was so much better than having a catheter. With a catheter, my father would have been at risk for infection and other problems. With his urinal, he was able to actually take control over his own elimination once more.
