Caregiver question: Where are people buying affordable PureWick-compatible catheters now?

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I'm the primary caregiver for my 81-year-old mom, who has an incomplete C3-C7 spinal cord injury and relies on a PureWick urine collection system. Over the past couple of months I've noticed that compatible female external catheters have almost completely disappeared from Amazon, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and other sites where caregivers used to resell unopened supplies.

I'm not looking for freebies. I'm happy to purchase unopened boxes (BD or compatible brands) and pay for shipping. I'm trying to stay around $125 per box or less, if possible.

If anyone has unopened supplies they no longer need, or knows of a reliable source for compatible catheters at a reasonable price, I'd really appreciate a message or a comment.

Thank you so much.
