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.

The Velcro is hard to use if you have arthritic thumbs. And the Velcro shortens the bag too much.
