This topic is about organizing and storing ostomy supplies to avoid bag leaks. It highlights the importance of choosing the right ostomy appliance and shares some personal experiences and advice from others in the community.

- One person shared their experience of finding an older style of Convatec pouch that had previously caused a public leak. They set the entire box aside but kept it just in case. This story serves as a reminder that finding the right appliance often involves some trial and error, and there are many options available beyond what is typically discussed by professionals.

- The person also mentioned that both pouches in their photo are Convatec products. The white one, which they currently use, is Convatec 22771 and is changed every other day. They are curious if it is wise to keep unreliable, outdated pouches for emergencies in case deliveries are delayed.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. Some users recognized the pouches as older Convatec models and mentioned they have also experienced leaks with bags that lack a protective "last line of defense."

2. Many recommend switching to pouches with additional security features, like Hollister bags with a cloth tape edge, to reduce the risk of leaks.

3. Flange extenders can offer extra security. Some people carry them for emergencies, although they might feel it adds unnecessary work to their routine.

4. The general consensus is to discard any appliance that has already failed you and to stockpile only those brands and models you fully trust for emergency reserves.
