Belly bags have a 1000cc capacity. |

That's impressive compared to a leg bag. Do you connect it to a night bag at night too? |

A quick search online shows most go up to 1000ml. |

I wear my catheter and belly bag 24/7. Large\XLG disposable mens underwear with the wide waist band keeps the bag softly against my body for day and night use. |

Oh, and don't forget to use a Prevail type\brand underpad under the sheet. Sometime I've forgotten to close the valve at night if I'm sleepy in the bathroom emptying. Nothing worse than waking up in a wet spot if you don't have to. |

The leg bag I use is 900mls, made by Hollister, there are some that are just about as large, I prefer that size as I know I am good for at least two voids without being full and having a disaster, I usually drain it asap anyhow. Puffy |

BB 58, Thank you for the suggest on the belly bag. I gave it a try and I am going to stick with my leg bag. I already have a special holster to hold it in place on my thigh and that works best for me, Thank you again for the suggest, maybe someone else here will like it better. |

mlhjr What kind of holster? I've seen a few and don't want to waste money to try it out. |

BB58, I use the Netti pants, they hold my leg bag up so it doesn't move down my leg. They are very comfortable and they are strong enough to carry a full bag till you can get to a place to drain it. The belly bag is a great idea but, my bladder needs natural gravity to aid it, to drain properly. |

UROCARE makes a "sock" that the leg bag slides into. They make them for lower leg and thigh. Don't think that helps for the belly bag users but the leg/thigh bag users could benefit from it. |
