Sometimes my bag that drains to overnight bag twists shut, causing backup resulting in a flood. Any suggestions?

If you have a urostomy? Your tubing is too stiff, so when you turn over and over, it will sometimes shut the valve off. Mine did the same thing until I put a short piece of latex hose, and I have not had that problem since. Hope this helps you.

Where would you attach the latex hose?

Just splice it into the hose that you now use. It only takes about one foot of the latex hose. Just put it at the top and connect it to your bag. Hope this helps you.

Thank you, I'll give this a try
