I think this product can be shared with all who are feeling very uncomfortable sleeping with the regular bag size.
It is from Convetac company and I don't know if other companies also have similar items.
It is designed for intimacy, but the outside material is plastic, with no draining hole. Actually, I did wash and reuse it.
Let's talk!
Hi BB, this pouch looks like it might be useful for some, but I can't see myself using it for sleep. The volume it holds must be very small, and I'd constantly be having blowouts! I have lots of output during the night. It might be good for intimate encounters as it's so low profile. By the way, welcome to a fellow Vancouverite! I'm born and raised there, but currently live in Delta.

Hi All, If you have an " old" or recent ostomy, this is the place for you. I think I've been a member for more than 15 years, but I have had my surgery, since I was a kid of 15 ( do the math-that's more than 60 years ago). As a teen, with a new ostomy ( for Ulcerative colitis) my parents dragged me off to my first ostomy association meeting. I wasn't happy, but in the long run, it's the best thing that happened to me. I met others, older, and teens like me, adjusting to the changes. A group of us started a Young adult group, and helped each other, and even visited kids who were new to the world of ostomies. But soon I married, and moved out of state, and although made some connections with other NJ ostomates, I became pretty much isolated. Until I discovered MaO. By then, I was having a myriad of other medical issues, and my aging stoma " wasn't doing well". I received a lot of help and support from members! I was pleased that I was also back to supporting others. I met a gal on line (from Papua New Guinea) who was trying to help ostomates in her country. There is a scarcity of supplies in some other countries, and unlike the US, insurance to pay for supplies isn't available. When my son followed his "love" twenty years ago, and moved to Australia I took advantage of an opportunity to help other ostomates. On one of my first visits to Oz, I brought a suitcase full of Ostomy supplies, handed them off to an Ostomy assoc. On the Gold Coast, who then had a friend take them to PNG. They were grateful for the help, and Janet and I still write.. This is the place to be, if you need help, and it also gives you the opportunity to provide help and support to others. Feel free to write, if you'd like to chat, about things ostomy, or life in general. Best REgards to all.. Marsha
I would think a person wouldn't want a smaller bag on at night. And I get the concept of a smaller bag for intimacy but a bag is a bag.
I love the longer 12" bags just because it holds more and the tail can be easily tucked into the waistband of your underwear.
They work for you, that's the most important thing. I'm pleased they do.
They're not for me, too small and not drainable. They look bigger than stoma caps, so they would be useful for lots of people when having some bedroom fun.
Thank you Terry, yes it is only a single room, no bathroom.
I have no BM at night during sleep.
I change it when I'm off from work then I'm not feeling something swing between my thighs.
Thank you.
