I use disposable bags for my colostomy. I get 5 to 7 days on my flange. My output is pretty thick, so when I change bags, there is a lot of output around the race of the flange and in the crevice under the ring. How do those who use disposables handle this other than wiping out as much with TP? I was thinking of making some kind of device that you could attach to your flange with water running in one side and out the other into the toilet. Maybe some kind of agitator moving water around the flange. Or do they make anything like this?
