Has Anyone Tried the Freestyle Flushable Pouch?

This topic is about the experiences people have had with Freestyle flushable ostomy pouches. The original poster is curious to know how well these pouches work and is seeking feedback from others who have tried them. Here are some insights and advice shared by users:

1. A user had a positive experience with the Freestyle flushable pouch, also known as "Freestyle Vie":
- They used it for three months without any issues, and it usually flushed on the first try.
- It was easier to separate the inner waste pouch from the outer adhesive wafer compared to an older product called Impact Flushable.
- The pouch performed reliably during a one-week trip to Spain.
- This user recommends the product to other ostomates.

2. An alternative to a fully flushable pouch is the Colo-majic flushable liners:
- These liners fit inside any two-piece pouching system, allowing you to remove and flush only the liner.
- The cost is about $65 for a box of 300 liners, available from C & M Ostomy Supplies.
- One user prefers not to flush them at home to avoid potential plumbing issues.

3. A professional plumber offers some cautionary advice:
- Even products labeled as "flushable," such as bags, liners, wipes, and tampons, might not break down in older pipes, lines with root intrusion, or septic systems.
- It is recommended to flush only stool and toilet paper and to dispose of ostomy bags and liners in the trash to prevent costly blockages.
