• Part the labia with two fingers. Grasp the catheter below the protective tip plate, and insert the protective tip until the base comes in contact with the urethral opening. Release the labia. Keep the protective tip in place. Insert the catheter forward until urine starts to flow. Once the urine flow has stopped, slowly withdraw the catheter to ensure the bladder is completely empty. Then gently remove catheter completely.
