The Daily Reality

Living With a Nephrostomy Tube Shouldn't Mean Giving Up Your Life

Managing external drainage bags can make the simplest daily activities feel impossible. Tubes tug. Bags shift. Getting dressed is stressful. And the fear of accidental dislodgement is always in the back of your mind.

Caregiver worries, mobility limitations, and loss of privacy take a toll, not just physically, but emotionally. Patients deserve better.

"After my husband's catheter became dislodged and had to be reinserted, I knew there had to be a better way."

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.

NephroWear™ was engineered around the real challenges nephrostomy patients face every day.

Discreet Side Pockets
Integrated side compartments hold your nephrostomy drainage bags securely against your body, invisible under clothing.
Zippered Catheter Tunnel
A unique tunnel system routes and anchors your catheter tubing, reducing the risk of accidental tugging or dislodgement during movement.
Unique to NephroWear™
Rear Drainage Opening
Empty your drainage bag without fully undressing. The rear opening makes restroom management fast, easy, and private.
Silicone Grip Bands
Gentle silicone interior bands keep tubing stable without constricting. No pinching, no shifting.
All-Day Comfort Fabric
Made from 85% polyester / 15% spandex, soft, breathable, and stretchy enough to move with your body all day long.
Gender-Specific Fit
Separate designs for men and women ensure a proper anatomical fit, not a one-size-fits-all compromise.

Slip on NephroWear™ like regular underwear. The soft waistband sits comfortably at your natural waist.
2
Secure Your Catheter
Thread your catheter tubing through the zippered tunnel. The silicone grip bands hold it in place, gently but firmly.

The Story Behind NephroWear™

Born From Personal Experience. Built With Clinical Expertise.

My name is Gina Lissone. For nearly 30 years I worked as a nurse practitioner caring for patients with complex medical needs, including those living with nephrostomy catheters.

When my own husband faced life with not one, but two nephrostomy catheters, I witnessed firsthand the limitations, frustrations, and risks that came with managing them day to day. After one of his catheters became dislodged and had to be reinserted, I knew there had to be a better way.

NephroWear™ is the solution I wish we had. It's not just a product, it's a promise: that dignity, comfort, and practical support should be accessible to everyone navigating life with a catheter.

What Patients & Caregivers Are Saying

★★★★★ 5.0 / 5.0 · Verified Reviews
★★★★★

"My husband has bilateral nephrostomy tubes. He had resorted to hanging the bags from a waistband with safety pins. We ordered NephroWear and couldn't be happier. It fits well, is comfortable, keeps the bags in place, and prevents skin irritation."

"This product has been a huge blessing to me. At my age (mid-30s) I never imagined having a long-term catheter, but NephroWear has made it more bearable and convenient. Great product and great service."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before placing your order.

What type of catheters is NephroWear™ designed for?
NephroWear™ is designed specifically for individuals with nephrostomy catheters, including those with bilateral (two-sided) placements. It is not a general-purpose catheter garment.
Does NephroWear™ work for bilateral nephrostomy (catheters on both sides)?
Yes. The garment features integrated pockets and tubing access on both sides, making it suitable for patients with catheters on one or both sides.
How do I know what size to order?
Please refer to our size chart on each product page. We offer S, M, L, and XL in both men's and women's cuts. When in doubt, size up for comfort. The fabric is 85% polyester / 15% spandex, so it has natural stretch.
How is NephroWear™ different from a regular leg bag holder or catheter strap?
Most leg bag holders are generic band or wrap solutions that don't address the specific needs of nephrostomy patients. NephroWear™ includes a full integrated pocket, a zippered catheter tunnel for tube routing, silicone grip bands, and a rear drainage opening, features purpose-built for nephrostomy management, not adapted from a general-purpose product.
Can I machine wash NephroWear™?
Yes. NephroWear™ is machine washable. We recommend a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying to preserve the silicone grip bands and fabric elasticity.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns on unworn, unwashed items within 30 days of purchase. Please contact us to initiate a return.
