Many women prefer to sit on the toilet or on a chair across from the toilet.
With one hand, separate the labia and wash from front to back with soap and water or a moist towelette. Lubricate the catheter end that will go into the urethra. Use a water soluble lubricant and lubricate the tip and approximately 2 inches up the catheter. Then insert the catheter about 1 inch further and hold it there until urine stops flowing. When urine stops, slowly begin to withdraw the catheter.
