Opinions on Attiva Flushable Ostomy Pouch Liners?

This topic is about the use of Attiva Flushable Ostomy Pouch Liners and whether they are worth the extra time and effort. Here are some insights and advice shared by people who have experience with these liners:

1. The liners are designed to reduce odor, protect the pouch’s charcoal filter to prevent ballooning, and make cleanup quicker, especially when you're not at home.

2. They are particularly useful in situations like traveling, attending outdoor festivals, standing in long toilet queues, or any place where changing or rinsing a pouch is inconvenient. Carrying spare liners is lighter than carrying spare pouches.

3. When it comes to disposal:
- Most people recommend not flushing the liners, despite their "flushable" label, due to the risk of plumbing issues at home. Instead, they suggest discarding them in plastic or dog-waste bags.
- Some might consider flushing only in commercial or public systems with larger pipes and stronger water flow.

4. There are some practical drawbacks:
- They can be costly if your supplies aren’t fully covered by insurance.
- Removing a full liner from a drainable pouch can be messy, and some users find it difficult to do cleanly.
- Liners may not be useful if you often have liquid output that soils the entire pouch interior.

5. Similar products like ColoMajic liners are also mentioned, which are labeled as flushable, but users advise against flushing them as well.

6. A few tips include:
- Adding a few drops of baby oil in the liner can help the stool slide out more easily.
- Keeping a roll of dog-waste bags in the bathroom or your travel kit can make disposal more discreet.
- If you don’t experience leakage or odor issues, you might find little benefit in using liners and may choose to skip them altogether.
