Male vs. Female Catheters: What’s Different?
- Anatomical fit: Female catheters are generally shorter than male catheters, with design differences to accommodate anatomy.
User experience: Insertion method, handling, and comfort preferences may differ between genders.
Product flexibility: Many catheter types are unisex except for length/fit; we help you choose what works best.
Catheters for Men
Male catheters are typically longer in length (around 16 inches) to accommodate the male urethra. They are available in a variety of styles, including intermittent catheters, Foley (indwelling) catheters, closed-system catheters, and external (condom) catheters.
Men may need catheters for a range of reasons, such as:
- Enlarged prostate (BPH)
- Prostate surgery recovery
- Spinal cord injuries or mobility limitations
- Chronic urinary retention
- Incontinence management
Catheters for Women
Female catheters are shorter (around 6 inches), designed to fit female anatomy and allow for easier self-catheterization. Like male catheters, they are available in different types such as intermittent, Foley, closed-system, and pre-lubricated catheters.
Women may require catheters due to:
- Bladder dysfunction or nerve-related conditions
- Incontinence
- Post-surgical needs
- Urinary retention or frequent UTIs

Catheter FAQs
What are the different types of catheters available?
There are several types of catheters, including intermittent catheters (single-use), Foley or indwelling catheters (remain in place), closed-system catheters (help reduce infection risk), hydrophilic catheters (pre-lubricated), and external catheters (such as condom catheters for men).
What is the difference between male and female catheters?
The main difference is the length. Male catheters are about 16 inches long to fit the male urethra, while female catheters are about 6 inches long. Both are designed for safe and effective bladder drainage.
Is catheter supplies invoiced through insurance?
Yes. Many catheter supplies are covered by insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. At UroStat Healthcare, we help verify eligibility and manage the paperwork for you.
Are catheters painful to use?
When used correctly with lubrication or pre-lubricated designs, catheters should not be painful. If you feel discomfort, it may be due to sizing or technique — we recommend speaking with your provider.
How do I know which catheter is right for me?
The right catheter depends on your diagnosis, anatomy, and lifestyle. Your healthcare provider will prescribe the best option, and our team can help you choose from trusted brands and sizes.
Can I travel while using catheters?
Yes. Travel with catheters is common. Many people use compact intermittent or pre-lubricated catheters for convenience when on the go. We can help schedule deliveries so you don’t run out during trips.
Do men and women both use intermittent catheters?
Yes. Intermittent catheters are widely used by both men and women who need to empty their bladder multiple times a day without wearing an indwelling catheter.
