I use these

http://www.coloplast...compactcatheter

Being female, it's short, but they also make a compact one for men.
Twist the top and the cathing tube pops out, pre lubricated.
The only thing is since it is so compact you must pee on the toilet, not from your chair.
Usually if there is a toilet, there is toilet paper. so I dont have to worry aboout bringing anything extra. This is smaller than a tampon, and if it were to fall out or someone were to see it, it looks like lip gloss kinda (even though I dont use anything like that).
Not a lot to carry, very discrete.

If you get samples and try them I'd be interested to hear what you think. I found them to rigid. It is mentioned in another thread somewhere, maybe GB could find it he's good at that kind of thing

I use astra tech lofric primo's and just push the end onto my leg bag its a perfect fit then just empty the leg bag into the toilet the only tricky bit for me is pulling my pants back up when done so sometimes i have my butt hanging out when i get back in the car :yikes:

Good old GB, spot on. Also Silone I use the Primo when I'm out the house. I use the Easy Catch when I'm home and can get to my own bathroom.
