I would try a sample of Coloplast - the opaque, not the translucent. The opaque has a Velcro you can tuck at the bottom or just under the observation flap. 

Trying to decide if I should request a smaller bag on my next order, currently using Maxi, might try Midi (not Mini). In the morning, I'd probably have to empty frequently, but I have almost no output from noon until the next morning.

I'm petite; I wear girls' 14-16 pants!

I've read over and over comments like yours looking for a specific pouch size and having problems trying to figure something out on your own. I have a 23-24 Edgepark "Ostomy Supplies" catalog that list and shows pictures of everything that Hollister, Convatec, Coloplast, and New Hope make. I got mine from a Stoma Nurse. It really helps cut the chase.

This site has been a blessing for me in learning how to cope with and navigate this journey as an ostomate. I have a colostomy as a result of a perforation in my colon since May of this year. I don't know yet if it will be permanent or reversible. The people on here have provided me with so much advice and information about living with an ostomy that I don't think I could get anywhere else. You all have given me hope and a place to come to for support. I still struggle with acceptance, but know that it will come if I am patient. Patience has never been my strong suit! Also, I love all the humor, although it really pissed me off when I first came on here. Thanks to all of you.
