Anyone else having trouble with the smell of the bags, Hollister 18182? I mean, whatever material they are made of, not the contents inside.

Hi Road,
No, I've never had an issue with the smell of those bags. Maybe they were stored improperly before you got them? I'd contact Hollister and ask for replacements.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, messages, and tips! So many have helped! We are learning as we go, learning the ins and outs of this bag. I have ordered special tape that does not irritate my skin and am now using Domeboro powder before putting on a new bag. My boyfriend says that my skin is so much less red!
Saw an ostomy nurse today; she said my boyfriend is doing everything right. One of my issues is that I am really thin, and my skin is really crinkly due to the surgery. We shall see how this bag goes.
This site is a real blessing. Everyone here is so awesome!

I haven't had any issues with that bag at all. Like Bob said, give Hollister a call.
