Tear off top of lubricant packet (or open tube of lubricant) and apply lubricant to the tip and along the length of the catheter. Take care not to touch tip of catheter. OR

Tear off each end of the lubricant packet, insert catheter through the packet, and slide back and forth.

Application Instructions For Female:

1. Wash hands with mild soap and water. Apply lubrication to catheter on the end with drainage eyelets.
