This topic is about a concern with Hollister ostomy pouches, specifically the 18182 model. The issue is that the pouches seem to have an unpleasant smell coming from the material itself, not from the stoma output. The person experiencing this is curious if others have had the same problem.

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. A couple of people mentioned that they have not noticed any odor coming from the material of the Hollister 18182 pouches.
2. It was suggested that the smell might be due to improper storage before the pouches were purchased.
3. A recommended course of action is to contact Hollister directly. They might offer replacements or look into any potential quality issues with the product.
