The Mio should have a filter...correct.... do you still need to burp the bag? If you opted for a bag without, try one with a filter. The only down-side to a bag with a filter is clogging. I need to change my bag every day or every other because the filter stops working because it is clogged.
How do you like the Mio? I tried it when it first came out but found the two piece too puffy... I could see it under my clothes.
Thanks! Have a nice day. LH

Rather than burping the bag, go to the ladies room and empty the bag. It will be nice and flat after that. I very rarely burp the bag.

There is a vent that can be used to burp the bag:
HCPCS Code: A4366
Manufacturer: KEM ENTERPRISES
The Osto-EZ-Vent, a venting device, is a leading Ostomy product for any type pouch; one piece, two piece, drainable, or closed end. Easy, quick access makes the Osto-EZ-Vent a better alternative to burping or opening the bottom -- less mess, less bother, more security. The Osto-EZ-Vent was specifically designed without a filter to quickly release air build up on demand aiding in reducing pouch explosions, and wafers pulling loose. Because it is not a filtering device the Osto-EZ-Vent works efficiently, lasts as long as the pouch, it does not become ineffective in water, fits on any pouch, and it is easy to install and use.

I'm with lady hope on the Mio being too obvious under clothes... but it's way better than the others for drying after being in water (I'm a kayak coach) I found that a bit of double sided sticky tape holds the top edge flat under clothes. I use the ones with filter so they 'self burp' but agree filters clog.
If I'm wanting to wear clingy clothes (other than a wetsuit!) I use a Dansac nova pouch. It has a very neat wafer I find. Best to wear a wrap too to hold it close to body and slight pressure seems to ease the gas through the filter.
