I have worn an opaque bag for 30+ years.
Having issues with my old Convatec bag/flange leaking due to me gaining some extra poundage at the waist line. Convatec reps sent me some alternative appliances. The bags are clear and you can see your output. WHY clear? I hate the clear bags!!! I have NEVER cared to look at my output while it was in the ostomy bag. I think its a BIG turn off seeing a bag of ...well c-r-a-p. Do people look at their output in clear bags? I assume this is a cost saving measure from the manufacturer. Is there a medical need? I guess people could have major blood in their stool.
