Sleeping Through the Night - High Output Bag Game Changer

This topic is about finding a way to sleep better at night for those using a Coloplast SenSura Mio high-output bag. The original poster was having trouble with waking up multiple times during the night to empty their standard pouch, which left them feeling exhausted. After learning about high-output pouches, they decided to try them out and found that they could finally sleep through the night. Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people have experienced better sleep using Coloplast high-output pouches, as they hold more and reduce the need for nighttime emptying.

2. If the main issue is overnight capacity, one suggestion is to use the high-output pouch only at night and switch back to a regular pouch in the morning. This is easier with a mechanical "Click" two-piece system.

3. A taller user shared their experience with the Coloplast large-output pouch:
- It hangs below the belt line and stays invisible even when filled.
- It is thin, easy to fold, and can be tucked away during intimate moments or everyday activities.
- It features a narrow, screw-type drainage tip that is more secure than Velcro closures, making it suitable for active lifestyles.
- It cleans quickly, remains hygienic, and is essentially leak-free when used with a barrier ring.
- It provides peace of mind during social events and dining, allowing for a variety of foods without worrying about sudden bulging or gas.

4. Additional tips from the same user include:
- Stop eating by mid-afternoon to reduce nighttime output, as they typically have one main meal per day.
- Pair the high-output pouch with a barrier ring for extra security, which is especially helpful for those new to ostomy care.

5. Overall, trying Coloplast SenSura Mio High-Output or Large-Output pouches can be a significant improvement for anyone dealing with nighttime emptying, leaks, or the need for discretion during the day. These pouches are available through Coloplast sampling.
