Do You Cath? Liberator Medical Commercial Offers You Catheters Out the Wazoo!

I love a man with a big catheter!

I can’t get the benefit of a commercial if I’m wincing the whole way through it.

A question for anybody who caths, or someone in the know with this business- does this sh– hurt? Or is the situation at least a bit uncomfortable?

My curiousity is killing me.

I cathed a huge one this morning. It was about as thick as my wrist and as long as your arm.

To #3. I had a serious emergency back operation that left me numb from where the sugery was done in my spine to the bottom of my feet. A lot of nerve and muscle damage. It does hurt even if you are numb in that area, it can still be quite painful if you miss/don’t put it in properly you can draw blood. It’s not fun and not funny. It’s a real bitch. Imagine having to piss really really bad and the only way it’ll come out is though a tube because your muscles and nerves don’t work. Yeah it’s painful.

I spoke with Holly, she’s actually a very nice lady and had no idea this commercial would cause such a stir!

Also, her dad designed the Mustang logo!

I wonder how the Holly the Cath Lady’s feminine hygiene is? This commercial grosses me out as a man who likes women. I’d avoid one like this with the plague. I hope she got paid good. Wonder what her friends think of her now.

yes, its uncomfotable, but not as uncomfortable as when the muscles dont work and yoy gotta go and you cant, i did the first commercial volunteer because i was so mad that they were telling us to reuse these plastic things, as far as my hygene goes, wow, what a question, geez, i can assure you my significant others have never complained, and i and sure not offering myself up to be examined by you for this purpose…wow my friends are still my friends, and they knew how sick i was before, they are glad i am better, i am shocked this commercial has caused these comments, and yes dad died at 32with urologicalissues too and he not only did the mustang emblem but also the drawings of the mustang prototype 1962; google phil ckark mustang… wow guys

The commercial was done by Holly to help people who had to experience reusing catheters. Show them they had another choice. I hope none of you have to experience this. It isn`t something to laugh about. Hope you don`t end up in a nursing home. You may have a little more compassion for you fellow man. It takes a special person to make this kind of commercial.

Marilyn,

You are so nice to say that.. that is very true. Everyone will probably have to catheterize at some point–when they have a baby, or in a nursing home or with a surgery, if they don’t, someone close to them will. It is just a fact of life. How many people take care of people and have to help them with this issue. Bless you hospice people! Thank you For your POSITIVE Comments on this.

I just wonder why people have to “cath”? Not a joke.

I have been cathing (due to Spina Bifida) since I was 7 years old (now 39). I have NEVER had to sterilize catheters, I have always reused- just soak them in rubbing alcohol for pete’s sake! This commercial is so stupid and gives the wrong impression. I, personally, find it very offensive.

It says on the Catheters DO NOT REUSE. I can’t imagine soaking them in Alcohol. I use Antibacterial Catheters. The alcohol would change the dynamics of them. Wow. Never heard of that one.

Is the dark-haired girl in the new Liberator Medical Holly’s sister? They look like twins and even have the same speech patterns.

I’m pretty sure the woman in the new Liberator commercial is Holly, just with a different hair color and style.

Probably depends on the type of catheter. I have never heard of antibacterial catheters, that’s cool. The doctor’s who first taught me to self-cath 33yrs. ago are the ones who said to use rubbing alcohol. Of course those were red, rubber ones 🙂 I haven’t had a UTI in over 10 years, so can’t be too bad.

I think that it is not right 2 reuse cathiters. I have been reusing sins i was eleven years old. I beleave Holly has the right idea 2 make it publice. People should know. That it is rough 4 people that have 2 reuse them. They smart but after i have used them 4 about eleven years it duse not bother me. My parents was told April 4th 2000 that i may not make it through the night. The doctors told me and my parints that i may not live but 5 years and i have passed that point. the doctors are amazed at my will 2 live and the stringth that i have shone. So I know how it feels being tied down 2 a bed. When they cought my kiddny problen my bladder was the size of a backetball and colapsed in on its self. and that was very painfull. But know that I think about it i am glad that i am still alive. So cathiter can help when 1 is in need. I am glad that Holly took a stand 2 let the publice see.

Delaina…this is Holly. God bless You sweetheart. It is for You and others like You That I made a stand. My dad died awaiting a kidney transplant himself….I too am just trying to stay healthy as possible. My thoughts and prayers are with You.

PS..holly is a real person…she Just uses over the counter Feria hair colour…and it looks even darker in winter and under less light… same Holly all Liberator commercials.Holly Clark.

Holly, u r absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you to all those who are concerned about me.
..
Im having some new health issues…but I feel like one of Dr Houses patients with all that’s going on…. keep me on your prayers…IC and MS aren’t fun…and now heart issues are added yo the bunch …guess that goes with the kidneys. Stay healthy friends !

I cath. I had to have my urinary bladder removed a few years ago due to cancer. Instead of having to wear a bag to pee in, as I would have had to do not too many years ago, my urologist created an internal reservoir, with an opening near my belly button. The catheter gets inserted into the opening (also called a stoma), allowing me to empty my created “bladder”. Isn’t uncomfortable at all. Sure beats a lot of the alternatives!

I hate to say it but I was laughing on the floor with some of the comments and the initial story up top. I have to get a towel as I was crying at how funny the explanation of cathing, not the problem was. God bless those that have to do this, but It was funny, especially about the asparagus last night. was curious what cathing was,, now I know.
