Your protocol for using a catheter

Hi all,

I have a j-pouch not a K-pouch or similar but I was just told to use a marlen catheter because I have trouble emptying my pouch because of structural problems we are working on. I haven't had success getting replies but I am curious how you go about using your catheters since you use them all the time. I just got mine and took it on a test run. It was fine and worked great but I was wondering how you typically clean it and store it and what you use for lubrication. Fingers crossed I never have to use it in a public restroom because I honestly had a hard time containing everything and cleaning up in my home bathroom How on earth do you clean it and keep your hands clean??? I finally figured out a nice protocol for using my Diva cup in public restrooms (the only ones I have access to at work) but this was much messier and challenging to clean and is absolutely a two hand job. 

Thanks
