Yeah, I think he has it figured out by now.

Yea I figured it out alright. I tied that sucker off over a year ago (the pee valve that is) and I take a leak before I suit up like everyone else around here.

My question was does the squeeze of the dry suit affect the operation of the valve.

Absolutely, if it is a balanced p-valve.

A balanced p-valve works by bleeding pressure from the dry suit into the exhaust chamber.

If you run your dry suit with a little bit of a squeeze, urine will tend to leak through the balance valve into your undergarments. Will suit squeeze cause your catheter to pop off? Perhaps, if you are having to exert a lot of force to void.

BTW, I thought condom cathers came in three sizes:
Large
Medium
Caucasian

Not quite everyone.
