Opinions on Colo-Magic bag liners?

This topic is about Colo-Magic flushable liners, which are designed for use with 2-piece ostomy systems. These liners are meant to make managing an ostomy easier by allowing users to flush the contents without needing to clean the pouch. Here's what people have shared about their experiences with these liners:

1. General verdict:
- Many users find the liners to be excellent, describing them as "great" and "much cleaner and sanitary."
- However, one user found them difficult to use and messier than simply emptying the pouch, suggesting they might not be as straightforward as they seem.

2. Ease of use & handling:
- Those who like the liners say you just pull out the liner, drop it in the toilet, and flush, with no need to clean the pouch.
- On the other hand, one person mentioned making more of a mess during removal and felt their hands could still get dirty.
- A potential user noted that the liners make a loud rustling noise, which could be bothersome.

3. When & where to use:
- The liners are often recommended for use when away from home, such as in restaurants, while traveling, or at work.
- One user with a colostomy prefers to use irrigation at home and only uses the liners when out and about.

4. Compatibility & systems:
- The liners work well with 2-piece closed pouches and can also be used with drainable pouches.
- There have been no reported issues with different flange sizes or brands, as long as it's a standard 2-piece system.

5. Flushing considerations:
- The liners are designed to be flushable in regular municipal systems.
- However, a user with a septic system advises against flushing them at home, as they are not suitable for septic systems.

6. Cost:
- Some users wish the liners were more affordable but still purchase them for the convenience they offer.

7. Duration of use reported:
- Positive experiences with the liners range from 10 months to nearly 2 years of continuous use.
