Hi, I was wondering if any of you out there experience small pinholes or cracking that forms on bags and causes small leaks to form? This has happened to me many times and there seems to be no real pattern. Most of the time, I don't have to change the bag until after four days, but when pinholes appear, it may only be after two days. No problem with the seal, but I find this issue annoying because you never know when it will happen. I now know to check for these. I use Hollister products. It seems to be where the bag is creased upon sitting, etc. Has anyone else experienced this?
