It's as old as my ostomy.  One year when we had to be evacuated due to forest fires, my son just rolled it to the front door put a strap around it & put it in the van & away we went. If need be it could have layed on its side in the trunk/boot of the car.  Its light enough &  even I can lift it with supplies in it. 

I don't enjoy cold water in my pouch or running water till its warm, we live in frequent drought conditions, so I fill 4 cups with water after each rinse then its mostly room temp. for the next round. I am looking for a short squat plastic type jug with a secure lid I can open the spout with my finger to pour from it as lately my muscle co-ordination is struggling & I'm knocking cups over more often then I'd like & well, we all know water Runs! Lol!

I have a "Tushy" in one of my bathrooms and it's awesome. Mine is connected to the water supply from the sink, so it can use warm water. Plenty just attach to the toilet water supply (cold only).

In my non-bidet bathroom I just keep a cup on the back of the toilet for rinsing. The bathroom is so small that I can reach the sink while sitting on my little stool in front of the toilet! Makes things simple if I decide to rinse more than once - lol!

  i fill 1/3 and swish it around.     ( the cold water actually feels good to me ) 

     as for getting my hands dirty,     its easier to clean up than my leg or pants.      i keep a bottle of hand sanitizer next to every  toilet in the house

My stoma shrinks when it gets wet with cold water, so it introduces leaks. When I rinse, I basically only try to get the lower half of my bag wet, or I'll use warmer water and do the entire bag.

i rinse my bag with a bum gun ( bottle of water when not available ) every single time i empty as i not only feel cleaner but the bag ( b braun flexima 3s 2 pc )  has a long tail that is a mess unless i rinse 2 or 3 times every time i empty.      i havent found any reason not to rinse every time if thats what makes you comfortable.....

I can’t see myself doing all of that in the video without making a huge mess. I wish I did not have to rinse but it is what it is.
