Tucking in the Tail of a Hollister Ostomy Bag

The topic is about finding a way to discreetly and securely tuck the tail of Hollister ostomy bags. The person asking the question has noticed that some other brands have a pocket for this purpose, but they can't find one on their Hollister bags. They are looking for advice on how to manage the tail effectively.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Some Hollister models do not have a built-in pocket for the tail. If you need a shorter appliance, you might consider switching to pediatric or kid-size bags.

2. Users of the Hollister drainable pouch model 18182 have found success by folding or rolling the tail upward and tucking it beneath the outer cloth cover. The box is marked "Lock ’n Roll," which indicates it is designed for this method.

3. When going out, you can temporarily shorten the pouch by folding or rolling the tail and securing it. Once you're back home, you can unfold it for maximum capacity.

4. Another method is to fold the tail up and rely on snug underwear or a similar garment to keep it in place. Make sure to leave enough space for output to prevent leakage or pressure. This also helps prevent the tail from rubbing against your thigh.

5. At least one person has tried the folding and tucking technique and confirmed that it "works great.
