PLAY IT SAFE AND DON'T PLAY WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!  I can't warn you
strongly enough about the dangers of inserting objects up the urethra
with strict surgical aseptic technique and a thorough knowledge of
urological technique.

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i apologize for all the upper-case letters and exclamation marks, but i
can't emphasize this point enough:  DON'T PLAY WITH SOUNDS!!!!!   it's
easy to do permanent damage, as well as causing a  urinary tract infection
that could easily lead to kidney infections, which may be fatal, or cause
kidney failure, requiring a kidney transplant (if you're lucky) or the
need for permanent hemodialysis treatments.

here's more info on sounds:  in all the hospitals i've worked at, NOBODY
uses sounds except the urologists.  OTHER DOCTORS WON'T TOUCH 'EM - THE 
RISKS ARE TOO GREAT!!!

the wife of a medical student in my class DIED after having a routine
bladder catheterization, supposedly done in a sterile manner.  this,
despite hospitalization and many different i.v. antibiotics to attempt
to cure the kidney infection she got.

hey, be careful out there. . . .
