This topic is about exploring the experiences people have had with low-cost ostomy supplies from China, specifically those found on platforms like AliExpress and Walmart. The original poster is curious about the quality and reliability of these products and is seeking feedback before making a purchase. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. A couple of people mentioned trying similar low-cost pouches from China, purchased as a 30-count set via Amazon. Unfortunately, each pouch failed within an hour, leading them to return the products and go back to using Hollister supplies.

2. Many responses highlighted the saying "buy cheap, get cheap," suggesting that while the initial cost might be lower, the risk of pouch failure could lead to higher expenses or potential health risks.

3. One person mentioned they would only use such low-cost items for demonstrations or training purposes, not for actual use.

4. Someone reminded the original poster about a do-it-yourself alternative they had previously shared, humorously called "the Shower Cap," which involves creating a homemade cover or bag instead of purchasing potentially unreliable products.

5. There is a general warning that trying to save money on essential stoma supplies can end up being very costly if it results in leakage or skin damage.

6. Established and reliable brands, like Hollister, are recommended over unknown and unproven imports such as Zerodis.
