Can anyone recommend an adhesive for an external sheath. I have been using Holister adhesive for around 5 years now, but for some strange reason this has stopped working for me. Any other ones on the market that are good. Thanks in advance

I've been using Hollister for a while myself without any problems. I haven't seen any difference in it's adhesive qualities of late so maybe it's something peculiar to you. The only other make I've tried is Dow Corning. It's very similar to Hollister but might be worth a try. Manfred Sauer also make a spray silicon adhesive and offer a choice of six strengths. I haven't tried their adhesive myself but their helpline is very good. Here's a link:

Hi I've use Hollister for the past 6 years with no problems before that I used dow corning untill they stoped it. I did note that the different glue needed different application eg dow was best to be a little wet when applying condom and Hollister I let dry before applying condom. They can stay on with no problems for up to 48 hours all though I changed every 24 hours or 36 if I'm lazy. Are you sure its not the batch of condoms.

I have been using Hollister condom catheters for more than 10 years and they work very well , except in instance where they sent me the wrong catheters instead of extended wear condom cahters they sent me none extended wear and they do not work as well as the extended wear . For me I consider Hollister Condoms to be the best , cause I tried other brands and they do not work as well .
