Peeing on a plane when you're paralyzed 

A big thank you for being bold and caring enough to share the process of peeing on a plane. You make able body folks aware of the challenges you face everyday so we can be a more informed group of folks who care about you as a para.

So glad you posted this! Being a man 90% of our clothing has the zipper LOL. But I too cath on a plane. I use the VaPro Plus Pocket by Hollister. It too is an all in one system. I always bring some type of jacket and drape that over me and simple do the deed. Disposal is always an odd issue. Telling the stewardess what is in the bag caused a huge issue one time and since then it goes into an opaque plastic bag and dumped as trash when they come. So I advise doing that otherwise they wish to treat as hazmat! Keep up your channel it is great!

Brittany you are wonderful. Thank-you for posting your videos.

I haven't even thought of this, OMG. I love this. Great tips, as usual!

Great info thanks

Damm Britt, you're clearly a better man than I am, I don't know if I would have the courage to share the way you do, you clearly have a big heart the Great Soul so glad you're running this site...

Thanks for sharing. I work for the airlines and this is good information.

It amazes me the airlines are allowed to keep the bathrooms so small and no handicap seating near the door. First row of first class should be easily accessible for someone in a wheelchair. How come ADA accessibility rules don’t apply?

TSA plot twist exiting the plane: "Madam, you are not allowed to carry on board a container filled with more than 100 milliliters of liquid!!!"

I appreciate that you don't just pay lip service to peeing on a plane.

Our thoughts are so in sync...either check your emails because you saw my email to you...or you and I are thinking along the same idea 🤣. It also helps a lot if you go before you get on the plane.

Great comments and I’ve tried all sorts of things myself. I’m a male double amputee. I say dehydrate before the flight, use the airport restroom before you get on the plane. On shorter flight it is easier. I always get a window seat regardless. Gives me plenty of options. If you plan on peeing at your seat , there are disposable urine bags, which I have a material that becomes gel. Ziploc bags are interesting, but don’t become solid. Perhaps use the airline vomit bag or bring extra bag with you to place your urine bag. Always bring a sanitizer. Urinal - Carebag Medical Grade Male Urinal Bag

Thank you for sharing what it's like for you. I'm sure it's helpful for so many. I "diaper up" but that's not going to suit everyone in every circumstance. x

Good Information. Thank you! Dankeschön! Best greetings from Germany.

Now, I’m going have to figure out what a Foley is. I only learned about catheters in general about a year ago. Previously I had no idea that a paraplegic lost normal control of the bladder and bowels - what an eye-opener!

Thank you empowered para i leaned how to cath anywhere using your videos. I love to travel your tips are good notes for a plane.

I do like these catheters from Coloplast but I have an augmented bladder (surgically made bigger to help incontinence) so these bags aren't big enough. Other brands that have bigger bags just tend to be less compact overall as far as I've found

Wel said sis.. thank you so much

Thank you, important note

It must be difficult for you to pee on a airplane, for you to talk about this is normalising this and making it easier for people who have a new injury and don't really know what to do, this is very honourable of you,

One of the few perks of having a Urostomy, being able to pee into a coke / water bottle while seated be that on a plane or a car in a traffic jam……👍🏻

Thank you But sadly I will never fly again. I am on 4 liters of oxygen. they will not allow me to fly with air tanks,

Even lowering yourself in the seat, you still need to open your legs to get the catheter in as there's nothing to hold your legs, a coat wouldn't hide that and even using a cover, how can you see your catheter isn't touching it and infected before you insert it ? There are usually 3 seats/aisle - how could you do all this and still check the amount of urine that came out without a flashlight ?? I simply wouldn't know where and how to put my legs ..

Re: Aisle Chair - do all chair users have to utilize the Airline Aisle Chair regardless of the width of their own wheelchair? I’m just guessing from the videos, but your chair looks pretty narrow.

Airlines generally don’t like it when people pee on their airplanes

Like that bag is part of catheter

Use a diapers

Did you check with the airline stewardess for a private space?

Wanna be my friend?? Iam Paraplegic patient

Passenger on the plane whispers to flight attendant. “There’s woman in the seat directly across from mine who is fiddling with something under her coat.” “I’m sure she is setting the timer on a bomb.” 😬. LOL. 😅

What is cath?

While traveling, I wear bigger absorbent products than usual that I can wear for a longer time.

How do you poop on a plane?

you can try adult diapers, less stress than?

PS...you might want to check your video quality of your camera 😉.

Have you ever considered a mitrofanoff?

👏💜👍🙏🤗♿️
