What is all the drama??? Is there a problem if I put my number when I am selling a piece of equipment? Or is I have a question and want them to email me? I have no problem giving out this info, why do all of you? I have an important question for a female quad that Caths themselves.

I have a lack of profile bc I do not use this as much. I read posts but do not offen post. I have questions so I posted for an answer.

If you have a question, ask it. If you don't want to ask the question in the pubic forum, Care Cure Community has a Women's Only forum that you can join to get a response to a personal question from other women. Alternatively, you could post some idea of the kind of question you have on the pubic forums and ask that someone send you a private message which is a feature on this site. Likewise, if you are trying to sell equipment, members can send you a private message if they have interest in your items. There is no need to contact you by private email or phone.

It is recommended by administrators and moderators on this site that members do not click on sites or email address with which they are not familiar. Your email address could conceivably take someone to a "phishing" site where data is mined off of a computer or where a virus may be planted on a computer.

There is no drama intended, we are just being cautious. Frankly using the term "Cathy's themselves" and the smiley face doesn't sound or look very legitimate.

All the best,
GJ

No drama just good sense. Just being on the safe side and you can PM someone and as said you can use the women's forum. When someone always request people contact them instead of just having an open conversation no matter what the topic that can be a red flag....

Hi all

I know Christan, she's legit. Hasn't spent much time on CC therefore she doesn't know about devotees or the dangers of putting her personal info out there. I'll fill her in. (I cleaned the thread but left the posts with advice/explanations).

Good job Jim.
It is a sad fact that so many fake and perverted people have made many of us extra cautious and there are fewer responses to new and legitimate posts.
Being burned by the fakers has made us understandably leery.

ok i am not new but i have a question how does a gal quad cathe?

i am c6c7 i tried and failed

It is VERY difficult for a female who has a fairly complete tetraplegic injury to self cath. I have one seen one woman who was able to do this at C6. Without perineal sensation, and with no finger sensation, it is extremely difficult, even using a mirror.

This is a major reason for the Mitrofanoff procedure to be so popular with this specific population (females with low tetraplegic injuries).

i got the mitro. cathing was ok for me (tho oddly, when in hospital, nures had a hard time cathing me as they say my urethra likes to hide <rollseyes>) but getting my pants down and up was a nightmare. whole thing took 30min to one hour! now it's 5 - 10min start to finish. wouldnt be able to do a lot of the things i do without it.

This topic came up with an able bodied female friend a couple of weeks ago. She actually thought thought you cathed through the head of the clitoris. She really thought you pee'd out of the tip of the clit! And argued with me when I tried to correct her.

I've had the same argument with women. I first had this argument with a 30yr old woman when I was age 16. How does a woman not know? (not really asking... quite obvious they've never looked)

Haha. We pee from birth. We don't think about it. I was mystified too.
