I do that sometime. I use the Depend heavy duty pad inside the Depend pull on. I went that route today as I had a trip to the urologist today for a cystoscopy. I place the pad without removing the sheet over the adhesive. The pad still stays in place that way. I had removing the sheet, but the adhesive would tend to damage the Depend pull-ons.
Most days, I use and external catheter with a leg bag and I find that to be much better for me. I use the a silicone pad from Coloplast WITHOUT aloe. I had tried the ones with aloe, and they left an awful gummy residue. Some nights, it would take me 30 to 45 minutes to remove the condom and clean up.
I use a leg bag and tube from Hollister that connects directly to the condom. I roll the condom catheter on the penis, and then connect it to the tube. The Hollister bag has wide straps that stay in place betweent the knee and the ankle. I can wear it from when I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night. I've been using one of these bags for about 30 days before changing, and after several months, have had no infection problem. I do use a bit of alcohol to clean the end that attaches to the condom.
To drain the bag, I just to to a toilet, raise the seat and place the foot with the bag on the porcelain, and flip down the lever on the bag to drain it in 10-15 seconds. The valve sits right above my ankle, so its a convenient location.
