I'm keen for a little information on the P valve.  I have only recently 
begun using external catheters but with a reuseable latex legbag.  It 
works fine, but there is this feeling that you have this time bomb ready 
to explode on your leg!

I haven't seen any P-valves here in Oz, but understand the basic principle. 
Would be keen to hear about:
-how easy it is to use
-how well it seals
-what glue is best to use to secure it to the drysuit (with a viking suit)
-who sells them and how much they cost.
