If like me, you use closed pouches, do you find it very difficult and embarrassing when you're out in public or at a friends house and don't know what to do with the nappy sack afterwards? I used this method for most of my colostomy life.
However, after googling it and finding nothing to help. I came across new flushable bags that are biodegradable. They are pretty amazing. I've been sent some samples and not only are they comfortable, but the fact you simply take it off and drop it into the toilet and flush away is, for me, life changing.
Obviously changing bags can be a difficult transition for some, I hated the idea of trying new bags as I've always found my ones to be comfortable. But if you're in the same boat as me, do try them out or ask your GP because it's great. Not only am I saving money on nappy sacks and helping the environment, I get to feel somewhat normal whenever I have to change my bag out in public or at a friends house.
I hope find this useful!
