Hmm... how does that compare with the Velcro? I mean, you are reusing the same bag with an open end and a clip, correct?

Your logic shows Velcro wears out? Can't be used for 15 years? Is that right? Hmm. Loses its stickiness? Hmm.

I guess it would do that after 15 years. Who keeps their same bag for 15 years though? That sucker is worn, ha ha!

I'm biased. I replace my bag and base plate in one change. Think of it as being fresh.

I do understand some have a limited budget.

Have you ever lost your clip? Broken it? Doesn't it seem a bit bulky?

Interesting reply. Thank you.

My portable emptying device. Hollister disposal bags fit perfectly. Drill a tiny hole on the side, allows bag to expand. Carry it in an emergency bag.
