@dlkfiretruck They sent me a sample of all their bags, but they all use the new formulation sadly...

@lindsayt Happy you are OK, thanks for the update

@llholiday Nice, they look like the American Cashmere breed of fiber goat.

@glenn-giroir I use filter bags, but have found that they don't work very well, are usually clogged up even when new.

@glenn-giroir LOL glad it wasn't full!

That's a great idea! I love the roll and lock system too, but have actually been injured by the stiffness of it. The week I used a plastic clip, it ac...

@ileostony Good one! I woke from a nap just this evening with my bag as tight as it could go without coming apart. Red bell peppers always blow me rig...

@zhtfreak My first bags were the clip style. I learned to hate them quite quickly! I can't imagine the stresses of having an ostomy as a youngster, ...

Actually, my wife just reminded me of another great leak story. I was out in the barn doing some welding. Being lazy as it was just a quick weld job, ...

@squeakyandliza Ah, emergency clothes. Yes I'll be throwing something in the van tomorrow. Thanks for that tip! (I'm a hermit, rarely leaving the farm...

@veganostomy Love it! In my case, because of M.S. my hands are very week, and I just didn't get the bag fully snapped on. Being in a wheelchair at l...

That's quite clever! I don't mind getting my Hollister wafer and bag wet, as they pat dry in seconds with a nice fluffy towel.But his solution is bri...
