I ve pulled on the bag too with a towel, doesn't feel comfortable. I was talking about day to day things that can occur. many people apparently bur...

LL, no I am not a fan of burying stuff in the woods. i try to minimize my waste generation. I go to the garbage station.

well, try this. lay a new bag flat on the table. how much space does it occupy? then think about the neighbor throwing a full, big bag of garbage ...

what bags are you using and how often are you changing them? you might change a day sooner to avoid leaks. I can bend all day for 3-4 days with a...

JTVT, I see no reason to have such fears that make a 2 piece more desirable. really, what would /could pull on a bag that hard as to cause skin to te...

composting toilets don't handle urine well, or just excess water. a watery Ileostomy would produce the same problem and you would need to find solut...

Interesting, I'm just the opposite. while having something tug hard on the bag is not fun, having the bag pull off as a fail-safe is the last thin...

well depending on where you live, in my case the 5 nearby counties only have 10 or less covid cases. I would contact your government and complain hea...

there's other sides to this story as well. my county has 2 cases of covid, and the adjacent counties have zero. so about 2 cases in an 80mile radius...

unlike hand sanitizer and toilet paper, its highly unlikely any shortages will develop, at $100 per box(my cost for 20), ostomy bags would be very cos...

Being that no supply chains have been broken, as in floods, hurricanes, fires , etc, shelves should be restocked soon. hopefully people are starting...

try slowly wedging your finger between the two mating surfaces, sometimes the velcro really bonds together well and is hard to separate. start at one ...

once you have drained a bag, i wouldn't add a lubricant after. the best lubricant at this point is just a little bit of water. watered down output ...

I've had odd functionality since surgery. but since things have not really changed in years, I just take it as the new normal as it started right aw...

interesting JTV. if you roll over on your stomach at night will the stoma bleed? mine only seems to bleed when I'm cleaning around it with a paper ...
