I can't imagine anyone wants that thing in them.
Can you use a diaper instead?

Edit: Uhh this probably belongs in the Discussions thread.

^Clarified this myself. (This is what I got from the call..)
So if you have spinal anaesthesia and your lower body's numb, and passing urine is difficult, it's necessary or there's no outlet for your urine. But it might not be. In case of general anaesthesia it generally isn't necessary. Pretty relieved since I was dreading the damn thing.
