Healthy p*e should be a pale straw colour* We know plain water can be boring - you could try a cool herbal tea or diluted fruit juice instead. And remember, food can also hydrate you - a side salad with tomatoes and cucumbers or a few slices of melon with your breakfast all add to your fluid intake.

Share your tips for staying hydrated.

Myth: Catheterising will hurt.

Fact: People can experience different sensations when catheterising. Some may feel mild discomfort during insertion or removal, but it shouldn’t be painful.

Sometimes, changing your catheter (such as trying a smaller size or a different eyelet design) can help. If you do experience pain, please speak to your healthcare professional.
