I'm a colostomate of a little over a year now. I have been using Sensura Easiclose Wide Outlet, Standard Wear Non-Convex, Maxi, Transparent bags for most of this time. I'm pretty happy with them for the most part. I love the easy open flap at the bottom with the Velcro to help it stay open when emptying and closed when done. It has a built-in filter which I'm really starting to think does a whole bunch of nothing because I still get what I refer to as a "Poolloon" lol, also known as a bag full of air. I'd like to branch out in the bag world and see if there are any other bags that I might also prefer. I'd like to stick with the easy open bottom, I really like that part a lot. Maybe a bag that isn't see-through and is a light skin color (I'm a white lol strawberry blond-haired female). Should I give the two-piece bags a try? Are they easy to care for and not messy? Are the wafers on some able to last longer? Maybe stick a little better? Please, any and all suggestions of different bags would be greatly appreciated.
