Best Flushable/Ostomy Liner Recommendations?

This topic is about finding flushable or easily disposable pouch liners that fit a 2-piece flange system for someone new to using a colostomy. They are currently using a ConvaTec Natura Sure Fit system but find it too bulky and are seeking recommendations, including brand names, item numbers, and real-world feedback from other users.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. The person is looking for the exact ConvaTec item number that another member is using.
2. They are currently using ConvaTec Natura Sure Fit but are testing liners from Colo-Majic and Attiva, which are Canadian brands. Shipping to the U.S. takes 1-2 weeks, and these are not covered by insurance.
3. As a cost-effective solution, they sometimes use unscented black dog-waste bags from Dollar Tree as liners. This works well if the flange seal is tight and the pouch is emptied early.

Advice and insights from others include:

- Colo-Majic liners can be ordered through Edgemark or directly from Colo-Majic. They fit ConvaTec 2-piece closed-end pouches, lie flat, and add minimal bulk. A full change takes about 30–60 seconds. Free samples and a $15-off/free-shipping coupon can be requested from their website, with about 100 liners costing around $30.

- It's a good idea to contact Colo-Majic or Edgemark for complimentary trial packs before making a purchase.

- Many users advise against flushing liners at home, especially if you have a septic tank, as they don't dissolve and can block pipes. Even with city sewer lines, plumbers warn that "flushable" liners can behave like baby wipes and may snag on roots. It's safer to bag and bin them.

- For disposal, black zip-lock style bags from Edgemark can be used for discreet disposal. Dollar-store dog-waste bags (unscented black) can also double as ultra-cheap liners or disposal sleeves.

- Other brands and products mentioned include Attiva liners from Canada and the 1-piece ConvaTec Esteem, which is noted to be thinner than most 2-piece sets.

- An example of a ConvaTec set-up that works with liners and is covered by insurance for one member includes the SUR-FIT Natura Durahesive Moldable Convex Skin Barrier and the Natura+ Closed-End Pouch with Filter.

- Some insurance policies may reimburse for liners and even ostomy undergarments, so it's worth checking individual policies.

- There is an unanswered question about whether liners exist for 1-piece pouch systems, with no definitive answer yet.
