Recommendation for Coloplast Pouch without Filter?

This topic is about someone looking for a Coloplast two-piece ostomy pouch without a filter. They currently use a SenSura Click system but have experienced some issues with odor escaping through the charcoal filter, even when the pouch is nearly empty. After an embarrassing moment at a social event, they are seeking a completely sealed pouch to manually release air in private. They prefer to stick with Coloplast and maintain the same coupling size. Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Coloplast does offer filter-free versions of the SenSura Click pouches, including a transparent option that matches the current model. You can call Coloplast customer care to request free samples, which will include product numbers. If you prefer an opaque look, consider using an external bag cover.

2. As a quick fix, you can use the filter-cover stickers that come in every box or apply waterproof tape over the filter. Some recommended tapes include standard household Sellotape or 3M Transpore medical tape. This can help block odors and prevent any leakage from the filter opening.

3. Tape is typically applied on the outside of the pouch over the filter. Since the built-in cloth cover might make it tricky to stick tape, using a firm, waterproof tape can ensure better adhesion.

4. Users of Hollister products have reported using the same method of covering the filter, as some Hollister models are only available with filters.

5. To help control odor, you can add liquid deodorant drops inside the pouch. It's a good idea to carry a small bottle with you when you're out and about.
