Someone told me that there are pouches made of cloth on the outside and plastic inside, that I can put my bag in the pouch and hook it to my belt. If anyone has one or knows anything about the pouches, please let me know. Also, sometimes my bag will go four or five days without any output. I've tried stool softeners, drank some nasty stuff, and tried to irrigate it, but I started freaking out, so I stopped. What else can I do? Thanks...Ragdoll
