Painless Removal of External Male Catheter? (ouch)

The secret is the same as the secret for removing bandages. No, not
Acetone--not *there*!
The secret is counter-traction. Gently lift a bit of catheter from the
skin-(the last bit is not adhesive coated), then pull the catheter material
gently towards "off", while gently pulling the skin towards the body. No
need to pinch it, just a bit of thumb pressure and pull toward the body.
Stay close to the catheter with the skin thumb, and as the catheter comes
off, advance the thumb incrementally. A deep breath helps!

Hope that helps.

Ever since my first contests and XC flights I have been wearing an
external male catheter. Putting these things on is easy. Taking them
off is another matter altogether. I know they have to be sticky or
they might fall off at an inopertune time but jeez-la-wheez they sure
can stay stuck and are a literal pain to remove.

So what is the secret to pain-free removal of an external male
catheter? Any other advice on usage is welcome.
