my partner uses drainage bags, which are a pain for him in warm weather, we have heard of drainage bags that can be worn on the thigh unfortunately the dr/pharmicist have know idea what to look for, also, apparently some are available with a crysta substance that soaks up the urine (a bit like a nappy) does anyone have any suggestions?

A company called Bard do thigh bags but I can't advise on how well they work as my husband uses their leg bags with a cathetar. Our district nurses give the best advice as doctors and pharmacists don't work so closely with patients with these problems

Sorry - I forgot to add - I can get the information from the leaflet in the boxes if you need it
