Disposable Liners - Reviews and Opinions Wanted

This discussion is about the experiences and preferences people have with disposable (single-use) ostomy bags compared to drainable systems. If you're considering which option might work best for you, here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. Hollister “QuietWear” Closed Disposable Bag
- Some users switched to these disposable bags when they returned to work.
- They appreciated how quiet the bags are and how quickly they can be changed, which is especially helpful in shared or time-limited workplace bathrooms.

2. Hollister “Lock & Roll” Velcro Drainable Pouch
- One user mentioned it takes about five minutes to empty and clean this pouch.
- The cleaning is mainly focused on the locking plastic flange.
- A helpful tip is to crease the two plastic seals first, making them easier to open.

3. General Work-Related Considerations
- Many found drainable pouches to be fine at home but less convenient at work due to:
- The time it takes to empty and clean them.
- The noise they can make in a shared restroom.
- Switching to a two-piece system with disposable or closed bags helped reduce bathroom time and noise for some.
