I haven't looked at the responses yet but I was given the best advice by my stoma nurse years ago. I "irrigate" in the shower. Prior to this I had been told to irrigate while on the toilet. It was so challenging and very time consuming. I use a rigid "hard plastic" type catheter as it helps me keep dilated. I posted a few weeks back with pictures of the catheter I use. To clean it, I will soak it and a mixture of bleach and water overnight. (I make sure rinse it very well before using). My JPouch never fully emptied and irrigating was a life-changer. Then when I started doing it in the shower.. amazing.

Wow, I am glad everything works out with the Catheter. I wonder why your J-pouch never fully emptied? That is interesting! How often do you irrigate/empty the pouch with the catheter???
