I just had a nurse come out to me and show me different bags. I was very comfortable with one stainable, non-see-through pouch. Before we even showed me any bags, we had disguised the texture of my bowels. I had told her they were normal. So we go in the room to replace the other bag I had for new ones. They are so much better than what I had before. My question is, all of a sudden, my stool is not like normal and is softer. It sits on and around the stoma without falling so I can drain it. I had disposables before, which I was changing too often and would give me blisters. Now I like drainables, but can't drain. What about water through the shower hose? Help me, I'm in the same problem as before if I take the whole appliance off when it should stay on longer for me...
