If yu have a urostomy? Your tubing is too stiff so when you turn over and over it will sometimes shut the valve off. Mine did the same thing until I put a short piece of latex hose and have not had that problem since. Hope this helps you.

This site has been a blessing for me in learning how to cope with and navigate this journey as an ostomate. I have a colostomy as a result of a perforation in my colon since May of this year. I don't know yet if it will be permanent or reversible. The people on here have provided me with so much advice and information about living with an ostomy that I don't think I could get anywhere else. You all have given me hope and a place to come to for support. I still struggle with acceptance, but know that it will come if I am patient. Patience has never been my strong suit! Also, I love all the humor, although it really pissed me off when I first came on here. Thanks to all of you.

Just splice it in to the hose that that you now use it only takes about one foot of the latex hose. Just put it at the top and connect it to your bag. Hopes this helps you.
