I am always hearing that the vent in most pouches (including my own) only lasts maybe a day before they become clogged. Thought I would try something new.....there is a small space on the Hollister pouch near the top of the flange......took some glue and glued it together, so now the vent is open to the sides and not directly into the pouch.......so far seems to be working...!
