Foley at night: pros and cons

Hi! I would like to share my experience and at the same time read opinions about what I'm doing.

To provide a background, I can only hold around 300 milliliters of urine. I'm against Botox because I had a shot once and it needed anaesthesia and I really don't want to go through that twice a year.

The solution I engineered is the following:
  1. Not drinking much during the day
  2. Using a foley at night
  3. Drinking a lot of water before going to bed


The pros I find are:
  1. Not having many accidental voiding
  2. Not needing to wake up at night to cath
  3. No voiding at night
  4. Keeping a good level of hydration (this is a sensation, I have not done any study)
  5. No UTIs, against conventional wisdom


The cons I find are:
  1. A foley and a urine bag are not something a girl would like to see when going to bed
  2. I still void occasionally during the day, still forcing me to use diapers


Look forward to reading other people's opinions, as well as SCI-Nurse providing a professional opinion regarding this.
