The topic is about ostomy pouch liners and whether they are beneficial for people who use them. Here are some insights and advice shared by users:

1. Some people find pouch liners to be cumbersome. They mention that liners can be time-consuming and might feel like more trouble than they are worth. An alternative suggestion is to apply a light coat of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on both the baseplate and the inside of the pouch. This can help improve the flow of output and make cleaning easier.

2. On the other hand, some users find pouch liners very helpful:
- They have been used successfully for about 18 months by some individuals.
- Users report that they are convenient and easy to swap, with a liner change taking about 30 seconds.
- Pouch liners allow the same closed-end pouch to be reused for a longer period, which reduces the need for frequent pouch changes.
- Most liners can be flushed in standard sewer systems, although it is not recommended for homes with personal septic systems.
