This topic is about someone who has received around 100 ostomy bags with different size openings but doesn't have the matching flanges to use with them. They are seeking practical ideas, including the possibility of trading these bags for the flanges they need.

Here are some helpful suggestions:

1. Get in touch with the manufacturers of the ostomy bags and ask if they can provide free samples of flanges in the sizes you need.

2. Consider donating the extra bags to:
- Your stoma or enterostomal therapy (ET) nurse, who might be able to redistribute them to others in need.
- Ostomy Angels, a charity in the U.S. that provides free ostomy products to those who require them.
- A local ostomy support group. If there isn't one in your area, such as in Slave Lake, you might think about starting one.
- Friends of Ostomates World-Wide (FOW), keeping in mind that sending items internationally can be costly.

3. Connect with other community members who have expressed a need for supplies and see if you can arrange a direct trade.
