Hi does anybody have any ideas, my sister is in a wheelchair and wears a catheter, but even with a longish skirt the bag is still visible does anybody have any ideas on how to disguise it, I had previously bought a cover bag on a handmade site but it didn't seem to be suitable.

Your sister should wear something like this, which sits on the thigh, so nothing much shows below the knee

catheter bag

Leg bags are obviously smaller so need emptying more frequently

I have witnessed this and the person was issued a leg bag which the urine bag slots into, theyre brilliant. Because they are elastic, they can be moved up the leg.

The 1s that I saw were issued by the district nurse but surely they can be purchased.

I have a look for you.

A wonderful old lady I used to visit fixed her catheter bag to her thigh with a rather sexy garter!

On a more serious note, my OH had velcro tapes to hold the bag to his thigh at whatever level he wanted.
