Condom Catheters (Male)

Male External Catheters for Confident, Comfortable Bladder Management

Male external catheters — sometimes called condom catheters — offer a non-invasive approach to managing urinary incontinence without internal insertion. They fit over the body, seal securely, and connect to a drainage bag, making them a practical option for daily use, overnight protection, or situations where mobility makes bathroom access difficult.

Getting the right fit is the most important factor. A catheter that's too loose risks leakage; one that's too snug can cause skin irritation or restrict circulation. Most male external catheters are sized by diameter and come in standard, large, and extra-large options — many brands include a sizing guide to help you measure correctly before ordering. If you're unsure where to start, Choosing the Best Catheter is a good first read.

Beyond standard roll-on condom catheters, you'll also find newer designs like the PureWick male external catheter — a non-invasive system designed for men who are seated or lying down, particularly useful overnight or for those with limited mobility. We also carry a range of options from Cure Catheter, a brand known for quality and comfort across catheter styles.

A few other things worth knowing: latex-free options are available and worth choosing if skin sensitivity is a concern; self-adhesive catheters stay in place without separate tape; and hydrocolloid-based designs can be gentler for extended wear. For everything needed to complete your setup, catheter accessories including drainage bags, securement tape, and adhesive removers are available separately.
