Flushable Disposable Pouches: Discussing the New Product

This topic is about a new type of ostomy pouch that is both flushable and biodegradable, introduced by Welland Medical. It's an innovative idea that aims to make life a bit easier for those who use ostomy pouches. However, as with any new product, there are some first impressions and practical concerns shared by the community.

Here are some of the thoughts and advice from the discussion:

1. Durability Concerns: Some people are worried that the biodegradable inner pouch might start to break down too soon. This could be a problem during activities like swimming, heavy sweating, long work shifts, or if you live in a place with a hot and humid climate.

2. Climate and Temperature Considerations: There's a light-hearted suggestion that these pouches might be best for very cold areas, as warmer temperatures could make the pouch feel soft or "squishy."

3. Exploring Alternatives: Another product to consider is the Ostomy Ez Clean flushable pouch system. It's worth checking if either company offers free samples, so you can try them out and see which works best for you.
