Request advice on urethra devices

A urethral tube with a ball ending is certainly easier and safer to insert. Whether it makes it safer for extended use is debatable.

 

I have a Looker 2 and have worn it with the insert (again the ball-end type) for over a month with no physical problems or discomfort.
This was with no removal at all.

Hygiene becomes very important for such durations and the use of inserts generally. Wipe from front to back and wash regularly to prevent bladder infections.

 

The important bit if I have understood no removal correctly is just that.

Once it's clean and inserted leave it and it stays clean .

I have a looker 01 with the round ball, same as the others. If the device you are using is plastic with the metal insert then I am assuming you mean the UCB 8000+.

I have tried it, and would definitely avoid using the insert on the UCB 8000+. you can unscrew it and use the cage without it though.

My experience is as below.

With the looker, the insert projects past the base ring to help with security and the insert is made of a titanium alloy so very strong. The ball makes insertion safer, less nerve wracking and easier as, because of the shape, you avoid cutting the or scraping the lining of the urethra. Also, if the penis moves in the cage, there is no discomfort as the end of the insert sits behind the base ring and generally doesn't move at all. Your penis tends to slide over the insert.

The insert on the UCB 8000+ is shorter than the cage so does nothing for security anyway. When inserting you have to be more careful and I found it difficult to insert without some kind of scraping on the lining of the urethra. Also, as your penis moves in the cage, the end of the insert will be moving along the walls of the urethra which is probably what is causing the irritation. Lastly, the edges at the end of the insert itself, although not sharp, do narrow and act very much like a scrapper which just adds to the irritation and causes the problems I had when inserting it.

My UCB 8000+ was hardly ever worn and now sits with multiple other devices in the drawer. I always seem to go back to the Looker 01, with or without insert, or my Gerecke Twister 2.

Hope that helps.

 

As long as you clean your bits (like, around the outside bit of the insert) and conscientiously wipe from front to back.

The only reason I make this point is that after about 6 weeks of constant wear I got an unpleasant infection, which was apparently due to some colon bugs getting in there. You don't want tummy bugs up your peeper, people.
