I received samples of this 'improved' pouch because I have been using Coloplast Sensura one-piece pouch #15521. This full-circle pre-filter is supposed to "protect against clogging, ballooning, and unwanted odors," but I found that it just takes up space inside the pouch and collects output, making it more difficult to clean (I rinse the pouch with a little warm water after emptying it). Does anyone prefer this pouch? Also, I never understood the function of those round stickers that are placed over the small round filter at the top of the pouch. The information about these stickers only states to apply them before showering, swimming, or submerging in water but doesn't explain what they are supposed to do. I have never used them and don't see a need for them. Are they supposed to prevent water from entering the pouch? And what is that round filter supposed to do when it's not covered by a sticker??
