Message: <blockquote data-quote="ElenaP" data-source="post: 2756547" data-attributes="member: 67557">I have experience with urine bags.  My (late) husband had to have a catheter and urine bags for several years because of Multiple Sclerosis.  You can get night-bags to attach to the urine bag.  Urine will flow from the day-bag to the night bag without leakage.  However, you must check that the tubing from the day-bg to the night- bag is not kinked, to allow drainage.  This is important.  A few times when  my husband was staying in a care home to give me respite, the staff couldn't be bothered to check the drainage, resulting him being in such agony with a full bladder that he pulled the catheter out. I can only imagine the pain. Then in the morning, when the day staff discovered all the blood, they phoned me to say that he had been taken to A&E by ambulance.These night-bags are prescribed to people with catheters the same way that you have day-bags prescribed.</blockquote>
