Hi Marco,

Hey, whatever works, right?

Personally, I use a bag liner and love them!!

When I have output, I just open the bag and lift out the liner, put my lubricant in a new liner, insert in the bag, clean up around the flange, and put the bag back on. Simple and clean.

I order the liners from https://parthenoninc.com/

Aww, thank you Vickie... you're a sweetheart. Unfortunately, I use a one-piece appliance and a septic tank, so they probably won't work for me. I'm happy that you found something that works well for you! It's like everyone has a different situation and different needs... It's refreshing that we can share these ideas on this site! ;)

Peace and love,

Marc

I sit sideways with my bag at the back of the toilet. Since I have a trash can and various other impediments alongside the throne, I can't face the tank. I also have found that sitting side saddle is about the only way that works on airplanes.
