I saw a promo on the Uncover Ostomy Facebook page about Colo-Magic bag liners. They are supposed to be flushable and work with 2-piece products. Before I spend the money, I'd like some feedback from anyone who has tried them.

I haven't tried the bag liners but someone on here posted that they have used the liners.
They said they really liked them and they are flushable. I was going to buy some but my
Dr. has scheduled me for a reversal so I didn't spend the $$. I go April 13th for the reversal.

This group has been my go-to during my loneliest hours whenever I've had a "bag blowout" at 3am and there was no one else in the world to talk to.

Because it's a global community, there's always someone here to lend an ear, provide advice, and just hold my hand if that's all I need.

Sure, there's also a lot of camaraderie, fun topics, and laughs, but the main reason I come here is for the total acceptance I get from the members. No one else on the planet could possibly "get" what I'm going through, not even my loving husband or supportive family.

The "Meet an Ostomate" forum is definitely a one-of-a-kind family, which I am very proud to belong to.

I have the liners, but they are not easy to use, and I make more of a mess. It would be nice if they were as easy as they advertise! I bought them hoping to be able to use them when away from home; better than emptying the bag!

Hi - I don't use the liners now because I irrigate my colostomy, but back in 2003 when I had a temporary colostomy I used them all the time with the 2-piece closed pouch (could have used them with a drainable pouch too).

I only wore them when I was out and about - not flushable in a septic system, which is what I had at home.

I have been using Colo-Majic liners for 10 months now.
For me, they are great! I never have to clean a pouch - just pull the liner out, dump the contents and liner in the toilet, and flush.

I have to admit that the prospect of a liner is interesting. I watched the video on the company's site. All I could hear was the noise/crinkling of the bag. Is it just me or is that annoying or a sensitive video microphone?



I would think that your hands are just as likely to get messy?

I have been using the flushable liners for almost two years now. Best thing since sliced bread, easy to use, much cleaner and sanitary. Wish they were cheaper but ... I won't go without them.
