This topic is about the experiences and challenges some people have had with the Coloplast SenSura Mio one-piece pouch, specifically the version with the new full-circle pre-filter. The company claims this pre-filter helps prevent issues like clogging, ballooning, and odor. However, some users have found it problematic. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. **Filter Usefulness vs. Output Consistency**:
- Many users find that integrated filters, like the full-circle design, work best with thicker or more formed output. If the output is very liquid, the filters can clog quickly, leading to issues like pancaking or becoming ineffective, which is what some users have experienced.

2. **Effect of Rinsing**:
- Rinsing the pouch from the drain end can allow water to reach the filter, which can ruin it. Once the filter gets wet, it may not vent gas properly, and odor control can be lost.

3. **Purpose and Timing of the Round Filter Stickers**:
- These stickers should be placed over the filter before activities like showering, bathing, or swimming to keep water out. They should be removed or not used at other times, as leaving them on can prevent the filter from venting gas.

4. **Risks with Stickers**:
- One user mentioned that removing a sticker after a shower tore the pouch, so they choose not to use them and haven't experienced any problems.

5. **Moisture, Deodorizer & Clothing**:
- If a pouch is worn for several days, internal moisture might seep through the filter or deodorizer pad, dampening clothing. Using a sticker can prevent this but will block gas escape, so it's a trade-off.

6. **Alternative Products**:
- Some users have found success with other brands, like Braun (B. Braun) pouches, which reportedly do not have these issues and do not require filter covers. This might be a good alternative for those who are not satisfied with the Coloplast SenSura Mio.
