This topic is about finding temporary solutions for colostomy bags when you can't get to your clinic to pick up the ones you usually use. Here are some helpful suggestions:

1. Rather than trying to make a colostomy bag at home, reach out to local medical supply stores in the Twin Cities area. There are places that stock ostomy products, and forum members can guide you to where you can buy them right away.

2. Look for 1-piece drainable pouches that are readily available. These pouches often come with either clip or Velcro closures, making them a convenient temporary option. They might be easier to find quickly than attempting to create a homemade solution.
