I got these backup bags on Amazon for a good price. Someone mentioned on here about thinking about supply chain shortage possibilities and stocking up, so I just bought them thinking of that. It was a quick purchase, and I didn't really put much thought into it. So then they came, and there's a flap that is open. I mean, they overlap, but I can't imagine what the purpose of having that is. Is that for colostomy people to burp it from the front? But even so, I can't imagine ileostomy people can use a bag like that. And even if you burp it from the front, if that is the idea, then how do you lie down with all the stuff not falling out? I don't understand the design purpose.
