Is there a way to tuck in the tail of a Hollister Ostomy bag? Other brands seem to have pockets to tuck the tail in, but can't seem to figure out if there is a pocket on the Ostomy brand bags.....

Not on the Hollister model I use. If you want a smaller bag, you could look into kid-size bags. &zwj

I use Hollister (bag type 18182) and have always folded/rolled the tail and tucked it up under the outer cover, actually says on the box "Lock 'n Roll," and I do!

Hi Barbiedoll, try this, you can make it as small as you want when going out and take it off at home. Hope it works for you. Regards IGGIE

I fold my bag up at the bottom and wear underwear to hold it in place, but always leave room for any output. I found this worked even at the hospital because the bottom, no matter which type was used, always irritated my thigh.
