Strap or Holster: What Works Better
The right securement option depends on how active the wearer is, where the bag sits on the leg, and what feels comfortable during daily use.
- Fabric or button-style straps are a common choice for everyday wear and are generally easy to adjust and reuse.
- A holster-style option may suit people who prefer a more enclosed fit with less direct contact between the strap material and skin.
- For users who move around frequently, a more secure fit around the thigh or calf can help reduce bag movement and catheter pull during transfers or walking.
- Always check the size carefully before ordering, a strap that is too tight may restrict circulation, while one that is too loose may allow the bag to shift.

Comfort and Skin Checks
- Make sure straps feel secure without pressing into the skin or leaving marks.
- Check the leg regularly for redness, irritation, or pressure areas where the strap sits.
- Reposition or adjust the strap if the bag starts to shift or pull during movement.
- Follow the product care instructions for cleaning reusable straps and holsters.
