I was looking online at some ostomy supplies and saw pouch liners. One site said they were flushable, then another said they cause problems for the sewer system. They are supposed to be biodegradable, but a guy posted a video that showed they were not. He had three one-liter bottles and put toilet paper in two and a liner in one. He shook the bottles up for a little bit, and the paper dissolved but not the pouch. He continued to shake the bottle with the pouch up, but it did not dissolve. My question is, do any of you use these? It just seems like they would be hard to get out of the pouch, but the way they showed it, it wasn't. Thanks for any input. I forgot to add he had water in the bottles.
