I noticed online while searching YouTube that there are "ostomy hacks". Such as wearing the bag sideways. Have any of you tried this? What are other hacks that you can do? My other question is, has anyone found something they find works best for leaks? Also, on average, how often does everyone change their bag? I'm trying to gather an "average" so that I can use this information on educating people. Thanks!
