GBI have a serious problem and the small bag is insufficient I have a serious problem and the small bag is insufficient to handle the flow. On several occasions recently, while sitting, the bag got too full and released from the pressure before I could get to the bathroom to empty the bag. I suggest there be one or more bag sizes available or one unit designed to be used with an upgraded leg bag.

GBvalve design needs more work I have used the external catheter for about a year combined with a calf catheter bag. Recently have had to go back to diaper because of design deficiency in the vacuum break valve. It does not provide enough air flow to allow the urine to pass freely down the tube. This results in a suction effect on the tip of the penis leaving it engorged at the end of the day. It also leaves the penis tip constantly exposed to urine. These combined effects produce what I can only describe as diaper rash on the penis around the opening. I don't recall the previous valve design giving this much of a problem. My usage of the device has been greatly diminished as a result.

GBA well-engineered, comfortable product -- but one caveat A well-engineered, comfortable product. It didn't take long to learn how to use it easily, without accident. But one caveat: My most recent shipment has design change in the release valve at the bottom of the catchment bag and a different relief valve at the top. The result, at least in my limited experience with the new design, is that it takes longer to empty the bag. I like the old design better; but even with the new model, I'd hate to go back to soggy pads

GBAppliance attached well and stayed in… Appliance attached well and stayed in place. There was no leakage. All good. But at my level of activity it was awkward, always reminding me it was there. Psychologically, I didn’t like it because I always had to spend the time to put it on and take it off, making me feel that I was more of an invalid than I think of myself. I am totally incontinent following prostatectomy, using 5 pads per day with occasional leak thru if I’m not careful, but I prefer that to the Men’s Liberty appliance. As I get older and more sedentary , my thoughts may change.

GBFAKE AIR INLET VALVE Have used this product for many years. Have found ways to make it work well, The new design that came out a while ago is not as good as the original and is cheaper to produce. Because it has a FAKE AIR INLET VALVE urine is always in contact with the skin.I can't overcome this problem. Such a shame a great device has taken a backward step due I think to manufacturing costs
