I can honestly say I have never been been so happy to hear someone talking about peeing. You guys keep it light-hearted, but truly, I can see just how tremendously freeing this is for both of you. Congratulations !!
As an early subscriber of S&G, continue to marvel at how much more energetic Shane is as well as his ability to speak at length with ease. So different from way back, when Hannah did most of the talking and Shane would fatigue easily, didn't have the vibrancy we see now. Love seeing his progress.
@@lovineveryminuetofit1314 What are you even talking about? If you had watched much earlier videos you’d see Shane has indeed improved in many areas as he’s overcome many challenges along the way. There was nothing rude about their comment.
I have muscular dystrophy and often dehydrate myself when outside of my home to avoid having to go to the restroom. I know of condom caths but never tried. This has motivated me to give it a go. Thank you.
I love you guys - I have commented before that my dad was in a wheelchair (Polio at age 17 - so wheelchair most of his life) and had many of the same issues as you Shane, and my mom was his full-time caregiver. They have both passed away and watching you guys makes me realize even more what a great team my parents were
Condom catheters are a game changer. I’m a retired nurse and have placed them on patients before. Every man thanked me for not shoving the tube into their bladder.
Nobody enjoys a Foley Catheter. I don’t really like an intermittent catheter unless I have to. I am allergic to latex, so intermittent catheters are a bit uncomfortable.
@revdrjohnbenjamindavidtatu8596 My dad had to use a Foley till he got his surgery. ("Old man problems making it so I cant pee"). He said he had an inexperienced nurse remove it and described it "you know how if you pull on a hose real fast and the other end whips around?" "Yeah..." "Now imagine it is doing that in your urethra".
Im delighted as everyone is about Shanes new discovered catheter use. But the real message to us all is to be open to changing ones perspectives which isn't easy for anyone especially announcing it publicly. So you go Shane. Continue to grow and change . Your influence on us is important.
I love that, not only is this life changing, but it was another proud disabled person advocating for, and sharing their own experience of, the catheter system. I have an ileostomy because of Crohn’s disease, so I’m a proud stoma ostomate. I feel if my story can help someone else, or de-stigmatise, life with a stoma, then I’ve had a good day
I appreciate people doing this so much. I had a surgery a while back in which a stoma was a possible outcome, and I felt a lot less concerned about that having seen people talk about their experiences with them online. I didn’t end up with one, but I really benefited from people like you sharing their experiences.
I'm on day 11 of my stoma. It's been a true relif, actually, after about 5 days of being sore. I told everyone about this outcome. I'm not embarrassed or anything about it. I had a tumor on my bowel. And with this surgery I'm still here! ❤. Got no complaints, just have to change some of my lifestyle and that's ok.
This is great but also so great that you had a friend in a similar situation who could talk you through it and encourage you. I think in the disability community sometimes it’s hard when we don’t have someone to ask about options because living daily with something is very different to a Dr saying this will be great and leaving out all the practical details.
As an OT who often works on bladder management with people I first congratulate you! And then I very strongly encourage you to hold it and go very mindfully only when you really need to, otherwise you will be training your bladder muscle to contract more often and reduce your control over time...
As someone who self-cathed from the age of 11 and now in my 40’s deal with terrible incontinence due to a spinal cord disorder, I would go back to self-cathing in an instant if I could. So glad you are doing something that makes your quality of life better. 👏👏👏 People don’t understand how much control over those basic life functions really affect how you feel about yourself.
How I empathise with you. An op two years ago to remove a spinal tumour has left me with no bladder sensation at all. By going every hour of the day I can manage it (mostly) but night time, total disaster without protection. Self catheterisation? I wonder
Wonderful!!!! Here I am on a Friday night, excited about a catheter for Shane while my laundry is in the wash. Life is good. I too was an early subscriber and am incredibly happy for this new independence for you!!!
Fantastic Shane!! The things we take for granted. The Texas catheter is a game changer for many men. Very proud of you for taking another step towards independence. ❤❤❤❤
As a fellow wheelchair user, I will say "It's all about bodily functions!". When I had a surgery to give me the ability to pee out a stoma in my belly button, to self cath as needed...total game changer for so so many reasons! Love to chuckle and nod as I watch/listen to your pee journey!
I finally convinced my mom to allow me to get a cathedar 5 years ago (wow!) asked since I was 18 finally convinced her when I was 25 (didn’t need her permission to like do it I’m my own guardian but needed recovery help) and the FREEDOM. As a fellow wheelchair user I’m so happy for you
It's about accepting something you refused to and finding its actually a bonus, not a negative. After many years of refusing a mobility car, its a negative thing, I'm finally picking mine up tomo and I'm now excited rather than resigned to needing it! We just will never admit we should have done it years ago, that's a shush now moment.
It's awesome that Shane and Hannah have friends like you guys who can help them out at times like this with advice, support, understanding, and the occasional joking around (as dudes do! lol!).😂😜
@@anaysesancho3260 Hannah is deciding how she wants to live her life and which partner she needs. And she has. And he has. And I’m genuinely curious as to why you decided that this was the comment you wanted to make, to represent you on the internet.
Congrats on your newfound freedom Shane! I recently went to my doctor for my own bladder issues and found out that I have pretty much no pelvic floor muscle. I've been SO embarrassed about it because I'm so young and haven't had kids. But this video made me feel better about taking the steps I need to take to get better 💕
Internalised ableism is real, especially for those of us who are disabled. We grimly hang on to anything that we deem ‘normal’ to our own detriment often. Xx
lol Shane trolling Hannah is just funny. Love the banter, and it is good to keep a good sense of humor between the ups and downs of life. And glad Shane has found a catheter that works for him.
Obviously I don't know what it is like to be Shane. But I have MS and because of that deal with things everyday that other people take for granted. It had just become my normal but it is still difficult. I can only imagine if I found something that solved one of those daily struggles!! That incredible feeling of healing and freedom!! I imagine this is what you are feeling shane, and I am thrilled for you!!
I love to hear you talking about this! I'm a home care-giver, and work with things like this all the time. I love your channel and how you talk about the REAL ins and outs of how things work on a daily basis. I love you guys!
Shane, I’m so happy for you! I’m so glad that you have the loving support in your life to be able to cope with these situations. Not only is a catheter going to be able to increase your social life, it will be so much healthier for your organs. It is so hard on our organs when we are not hydrated.🙂
Congratulations on such a big step! Bodily functions should not cause embarrassment- and it is so good that you can hydrate yourself properly!! Yay!❤❤❤
Life is so short- do whatever makes your life easier or more comfortable! Btw I’m an emergency room tech and I use the smallest that will fit on the patient, along with the skin prep, otherwise they fall off and make a mess.
I switched to catheters years ago, from the system you are using. It's the best way I've found to manage my bladder. The pressure of urine led to detachment. Since I started with urethral catheters, I've rarely had a problem. Just keep hydrated, and watch for the liquid levels.
I admire how straightforward you are about your bathroom habits with your disability. I hope you being so forthcoming can open up people being able to discuss catheters so it's not so taboo
Absolutely love the fact that you use this platform to really put the info out there that I am certain will help so many ppl. Your authenticity is incredible. Thank you for being such a loving & caring couple. I applaud you both. Truly amazing !
This is great news!! I am glad that you felt comfortable in sharing this update!! Merry Christmas to y'all!! I love your new white top Hannah, you look fabulous!!!
So happy for you! My wife is disabled from some skeletal deformities but not from birth. She was in some unfortunate accidents when she was young and from her I have gained an awareness of how difficult some things are that others may not even think about. Her nerve damage causes her problems in the bathroom arena, even bathing. Sometimes what seems like no big deal is a Huge deal to those who rely on caretakers to bridge the gaps between what self care the disabled person Can do and What they need assistance for. This will make an untold difference in your life.
Love you two. You tell it as it is , I’m sure lots of people in your situation will learn from your experiences. And you’re both so funny , Shane with his stories and Hannah with that look.
I nursed a man who used a condom catheter, in the uk it’s known as a conveen. The man I looked after said it gave him so much independence and freedom back as he didn’t need help to go the toilet other than some one fitting the conveen
Woah, congratulations on the new freedom. And the realisation of personal growth. Nice way to end out the year! I've definitely been guilty of denying myself disability aids because they look like something a disabled person would have. SMH. Your channel has definitely helped me to battle this internalised ableism. So thanks!
First of all, Congratulations! There is nothing better than being confident and knowing you don't have to plan your life around your toileting. Think of the Adventures ahead of you! But seriously, I love that y'all share your experiences. Others with similar disabilities may not be aware of these products that can make their ADLs so much more efficient and comfortable. I'm a Nurse at a Disabilities summer camp in Texas, and many of our Campers are on very rigid toileting schedules due to their inability to urinate without catheterizing. The condom catheter would be a complete game changer for our boy Campers, and our also our male Counselors who have similar urinary issues.
I’ve had mine for years with wearing pants to hide the tube and bag and I’ve always wondered why you never had one Shane so congratulations! It makes life so much better! Very happy for you dude!
As a girlie I am so happy with my catheter through my belly. It’s been so life changing, because I can go to the toilet anytime anywhere. It has to be changed every 6 weeks or so, but luckily there’s a company where I live who sends someone over, so it’s not an extra out of house appointment. I got it in 2016 in a kind of emergency situation but wouldn’t want to be without it anymore! I actually wish I would’ve had it earlier, it would have been so helpful in school.
I am so happy that you decided to try this and what a great sense of freedom it has given you. Way to go! (pun intended) You guys are so amazing - thank you for sharing your life with us. I'm sending wishes for a Merry Christmas and a GREAT New Year.
This is huge, Shane! Congratulations! It's honestly inspiring to hear you talk about this. We all have our inner resistances to things, that's very relatable, and it really is beautiful to see your confidence and empowerment regarding this. I think that your channel helps me normalise things that I've struggled with in the past, like it took me years of limited mobility before getting a wheelchair and I've recently got a motorised wheelchair and the freedom is just amazing. And it does feel like growth and self acceptance. And I think your channel helped me with that. And that you help others on the journey of accepting themselves and their needs. Hannah, sweatshirt is gorgeous! Great colour choice! 🙂
I'm so happy for you two, I have MS and have to self cath and learn to do this when I travel with my husband and this has open up so many doors for me, I'm so happy for you on your journey Shane 💖
Your overall feeling of wellness will be improved just by not being dehydrated so often! What a great advance for your independence too. Thanks for sharing with us. Congrats!
HAHAHA You guys are so funny! I LOVE the increase of independence this brings you! Thanks for sharing! You guys are adorable and I enjoy learning about your interabled relationship and just getting to know you in general (as a long time subscriber)... You guys are so smart and funny and interesting! :)
I’m really happy for you Shane! It’s lovely to see you both doing so well as I’ve not really been around much on your channel. Still “Bob in” from time to time though because I’ve been watching since the beginning. Lots of love to you both! 😊 xxxxx
This is such great news. Shane your humor is still on point, I was chuckling quite a bit in the beginning. I’m so happy for you. More freedom and independence is always a good thing. I’m a Type 1 diabetic and I wear an insulin pump and a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Before the pump, I was in the hospital for my diabetes a lot! So after the pump I have so much more freedom. It may be comparing apples to oranges but I totally get the enthusiasm and happiness from a medical device that changes your life and well being. Once again congratulations! I’m so happy for you. (I bet you were peeing when you read this). 😆😆😆😆
I really appreciate you bringing fun into this topic. Also talking about this subject, as a positive addition to your life, instead of the negative feelings a lot of us go through. Great work, Shane. I’m so glad this aid is helping you with even more independence. 🫶🏼 Merry Christmas, Shane & Hannah ❤️🎅🏻
Shane!!! This is wonderful news😊 Congrats on one more thing you can now do independently of Hannah! Not that it's bad yall are always together. I love that, too!! But the way it makes you feel happy makes me happy too! Happy peeing!🎉🎉🎉
We love Shane and his humor. 😂😂 I love how he can talk about anything and make it funny, something as small as peeing while Hannah looks over like stop being TMI.
Great video. Sometimes our own beliefs are self-limiting. I applaud you being open to trying something new, which ultimately has increased your quality of life.
That's great for you guys! I was a cna for 16 years&have a lot of experience with condom catheters,they work great if they are fitted right&put on correctly. Plus the new independence you will have is a great testimony. So happy for you Shane. I'm so glad you gave it another chance. You should be proud of yourself for trying again. Love you guys❤
This is amazing! I’m so happy for you and your newest form of freedom. Your channel is so entertaining while being educational. I’ve heard of condom catheters but never knew how they worked. Now go out and have fun while hydrating!!
This is really gonna allow you step up your beer drinking. Tailgating and football games are gonna be able to become all day events now if you want. 😂 Im excited for you, theres so many times ive been watching a game or been outside a stadium tailgating after many beverages and wished i had a catheter.
Anything that makes life easier for you and Hannah, you should do and not worry about thoughts of others. Glad it is working well for you. Merry Christmas to you both.
Happy for you guys! Yay! I can tell what a difference & positive change this option is. Our bodies detoxify more effectively & the mind is sharper when well-hydrated. Societal norms & thoughts of judgments & perceived embarrassment can be tough to mentally overcome.
Oh my;) got to come back for this. I always love the quick wit humor found in life curves but knowing all about caths Can not stretch this far this early. Be back
Just thinking how cool it is that Shane can hang out and just *relax* without having to worry, and how it represents independence (for both Shane and Hannah).
My son has a superpubic catheter, he shows in on the channel we do & Shane Well done to you, hydration is so important & exception is a huge thing, change is another, you should be so proud of yourself. Catheters are brilliant & give you so much more freedom. Congratulations for finding the right one for you ❤
I can honestly say I have never been been so happy to hear someone talking about peeing. You guys keep it light-hearted, but truly, I can see just how tremendously freeing this is for both of you. Congratulations !!

There is an early video of them doing a reading in a library . Shane had trouble reading more than a paragraph .Such an improvement.

Love this! Best to you!
I used to work as a LNA I cam tell you man men have had their life changed by these
My urologist at age 5 demanded it if me to prevent urinary tract infections.
I’m happy you’re open to change. That’s pretty much all life is…changes.

Your overall feeling of wellness will be improved just by not being dehydrated so often! What a great advance for your independence too. Thanks for sharing with us. Congrats!
I think this is a great positive for your life. I’m so glad that it worked for you & Hannah too.❤
What an amazing improvement to your quality of life!! So happy this worked out for you. Love you guys ❤️
HAHAHA You guys are so funny! I LOVE the increase of independence this brings you! Thanks for sharing! You guys are adorable and I enjoy learning about your interabled relationship and just getting to know you in general (as a long time subscriber)... You guys are so smart and funny and interesting! :)
Shane gets to pee like the Apollo astronauts now.
You both are amazing. The pee story cracks me up! Continued success for all steps forward, big and small!
This is both so awesome for your QOL improvement and a hilarious video; so excited for you :)
I am a caregiver for 2 adult men with disabilities. Bathrooming is a big part of our day. Glad you were open to talking about it.
This is awesome news! Thank you for being so open and sharing this. You guys help people in so many ways ❤
Yay for you Shane! Every bit of independence is well-earned!
I love you two, you crack me up! Oh and congrats Shane!!
I’m really happy for you Shane! It’s lovely to see you both doing so well as I’ve not really been around much on your channel. Still “Bob in” from time to time though because I’ve been watching since the beginning. Lots of love to you both! 😊 xxxxx
This is HUGE for you & gives you the flexibility to take care of business & go when & you need to. Congratulations!!
This is such great news. Shane your humor is still on point, I was chuckling quite a bit in the beginning. I’m so happy for you. More freedom and independence is always a good thing. I’m a Type 1 diabetic and I wear an insulin pump and a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Before the pump, I was in the hospital for my diabetes a lot!
So after the pump I have so much more freedom. It may be comparing apples to oranges but I totally get the enthusiasm and happiness from a medical device that changes your life and well being.
Once again congratulations! I’m so happy for you. (I bet you were peeing when you read this). 😆😆😆😆
I really appreciate you bringing fun into this topic. Also talking about this subject, as a positive addition to your life, instead of the negative feelings a lot of us go through. Great work, Shane. I’m so glad this aid is helping you with even more independence. 🫶🏼
Merry Christmas, Shane & Hannah ❤️🎅🏻
That is a true blessing. So happy for you!! ❤
I have a colostomy so I poop 💩 anywhere and everywhere 😂😂😂
Not everyone can say that so... congratulations!🥳😊
Seriously, tho, I'm glad you are healthy and able to use something that helps you. So important!
Life changing! .. It is amazing- the weight on worry of always avoiding the toilet is a big one. I'm so happy for you, honestly ❤
This is so amazing and I'm glad it's something that will benefit you!
Shane!!! This is wonderful news😊
Congrats on one more thing you can now do independently of Hannah! Not that it's bad yall are always together. I love that, too!! But the way it makes you feel happy makes me happy too! Happy peeing!🎉🎉🎉
I’m so happy that you’re more comfy Shane! Hannah you look so pretty in this video!!
I think this is awesome! Sounds like self acceptance has morphed into greater freedoms! Congrats!
We love Shane and his humor. 😂😂 I love how he can talk about anything and make it funny, something as small as peeing while Hannah looks over like stop being TMI.
Great video. Sometimes our own beliefs are self-limiting. I applaud you being open to trying something new, which ultimately has increased your quality of life.
That's great for you guys! I was a cna for 16 years&have a lot of experience with condom catheters,they work great if they are fitted right&put on correctly. Plus the new independence you will have is a great testimony. So happy for you Shane. I'm so glad you gave it another chance. You should be proud of yourself for trying again. Love you guys❤
This is amazing! I’m so happy for you and your newest form of freedom. Your channel is so entertaining while being educational. I’ve heard of condom catheters but never knew how they worked. Now go out and have fun while hydrating!!
This is really gonna allow you step up your beer drinking. Tailgating and football games are gonna be able to become all day events now if you want. 😂 Im excited for you, theres so many times ive been watching a game or been outside a stadium tailgating after many beverages and wished i had a catheter.
Congratulations Shan!! I’m happy to know you can stay properly hydrated now!! That is so sweet important to all of our health.
You two are so powerful, endearing and joyful, I can't help but smile !
I am so happy for you Shane 🎉. Loved the vlog as always. Just love your sense of humour!
I'm so happy for you, Shane! Just the hydration alone is probably a huge improvement in your life. 👏👏👏
You two crack me up! I’m glad the condem cath is working out for you, Shane! 😊
Anything that makes life easier for you and Hannah, you should do and not worry about thoughts of others. Glad it is working well for you. Merry Christmas to you both.
I love your love and how authentic you are with what you disclose!
All jokes aside, so proud of you for trying this out again and excited on how this will benefit yall both in the future !
That makes me so happy. I guess that speaks to the connection I have with you two. When we care for others we feel their Joy. 🙏🥰🥰
Happy for you guys! Yay! I can tell what a difference & positive change this option is. Our bodies detoxify more effectively & the mind is sharper when well-hydrated. Societal norms & thoughts of judgments & perceived embarrassment can be tough to mentally overcome.
Peeing Profoundly !!! Shane, you are hilarious.
Love the new sweater, and the good pee news, lol. Shane, your breathing seems to have really improved.
Oh my;) got to come back for this. I always love the quick wit humor found in life curves but knowing all about caths
Can not stretch this far this early. Be back
Just thinking how cool it is that Shane can hang out and just *relax* without having to worry, and how it represents independence (for both Shane and Hannah).
My son has a superpubic catheter, he shows in on the channel we do & Shane Well done to you, hydration is so important & exception is a huge thing, change is another, you should be so proud of yourself. Catheters are brilliant & give you so much more freedom.
Congratulations for finding the right one for you ❤
