Still experimenting, I had a left over pouch from my original loop colostomy. It’s big; fits a 2-1/4” (57 mm) flange. I presently use a pouch that fits a 1-3/4” (45mm) flange. I was able to fit my entire pouch into the larger one, attach a piece of tape about 5 inches long across the top of the bigger pouch and secure it with the regular appliance belt. It worked! My regular pouch was kept dry by the larger one. If this doesn’t make sense, let me know and I’ll try to write in an understandable format.
Hope this encourages more experimenting for others.
