yes, most plastics are permeable, and yes they probably pressure test bags, maybe not all though. but this is 2 different conversations. a quick pr...

sounds like you had a chance to practice some water conservation. I often change the bag and shave the same morning. I use 1 cup of water for the e...

Lil, I think you are gettiing a Loop ileostomy, I've read where they can be a little more trouble than a permanent ileostomy. luckily its temporary.

LK, so you say the doctor pulled on the bag til it came off your body? did the doc pull on the bag or the flange? So you consider this a common eno...

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...

glen, when this happens, what happens if you just open the outlet? does this situation continue? how long? I'd see this effect for maybe a couple ho...

partial vacuums or pressure differences are commonly used to move liquids. so to say that a vacuum on the stoma side stops output is kinda backwards ...

Delia, 2 things: 1.) thats one reason I do not wear 2 piece bags, never a concern with a 1 piece. 2.) the Coloplast is much easier to clean, I nev...

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...
