If you are using the disposable pouch liners that are flushable instead of a drainable pouch, you can also use the small bags that people use when walking their dogs. Instead of them costing 20 cents a piece, they cost 1.5 cents a piece and work just as well. They are also biodegradable. Just cut the ties off and put them in the pouch just as they come from the box, and stretch them over the opening of the pouch and snap it in place (for 2-piece systems and not advisable where septic tanks are in use). When a change is needed, just pull them out of the pouch and flush away. Put in a new one and you are on your way.
