I may have hit the wrong button and posted an unfinished post. If so, please excuse me. I have read a lot of posts where people say they don't have to change pouches and wafers for a week or longer. I have to change mine sometimes a couple of times a day or in a couple of days. My output is so pasty like pudding, it sticks to the pouch all the way down. When I empty and clean it out, it is hard to get it all cleaned out. Then it stains the pouch very badly. I wonder if anyone has this problem. I have started putting a few drops of oil in the pouch, and it helps to clean a little better but still stains.
