Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice on how to empty and rinse clip pouches for ostomy bags, particularly for individuals using one-piece bags and dealing with thick and sticky output.

Advice and Insights:
- Hold the drainable end upright by the flaccid plastic, unclip the clips, cuff the opening to clean it, and slide the output into the toilet.
- Use a 'ketchup' type clear plastic bottle with hot water to rinse the bag, squish the water around to loosen the output, and then flush it out.
- Use a lubricating deodorizing solution to keep the inside of the bag lubricated, control odor, and ensure a clean emptying.
- Use a flat piece of metal and a roller to help empty the bag, and then rinse it out.
- Consider using Velcro or blue tape at the end of the drainable bags for comfort and ease of use.
- Some individuals prefer using a two-piece system with Velcro instead of a clip for easier emptying and cleaning.
