Q:
The collection bed bags will not stay connected to the all silicone cath's. I have tried taping them with medical tape and duck tape with no luck - still comes loose. Any suggestions? Thanks Leslie
A:
I had that problem for a long time. I finally started cutting the connectors off the tubes on my bed bags and leg bags and replacing them with plastic connectors ("hose barbs") from the hardware store. 5/16" and 3/8" seem to work best. (I think Allegro sells plastic connectors, and for a lower cost than the hardware store ones.) Some bed bags have ribs on the inside to help prevent kinking, but the ribs can cause leakage around the hose barb. In those cases I put some silicone cement on the connector before inserting it.
