Day Trip to Idyllwild: A Harley Ride and Ostomy Bag Experience

went up to idyllwild for the day yesterday put 300 miles on the harley. just love those hollister flex wafers and the new image bags.they dont fall off and dont leak.had my shirt off most of the way.I use the belt but have to tape the clip so the bag doesnt fly away,only happened once so far.

I think we should have a "show your bag day" once in a while

howdy bikerboy here

the floating flange wafer is# 14603 ,I like the 2 1/4 (57mm) wafer because you get a better seal as the adhesive area is bigger.And of course you cut the hole to fit. I also use the adapt cream so the stoma doesnt burn.The bag is a drainable mini pouch #18203,same size 2 1/4  57mm.I tell you Ive only had one leak in 22 months,I was welding and melted a hole in the bag.Today I rode over 100 miles with out my shirt off,and the bag was fine.

I some times mix the convatec bags with the hollister wafer and they work fine.The cost is about the same as regular wafers.Hollister is working on a wafer that doesnt have to be cut just stretched to fit the stoma.

good luck

Living with Your Ostomy | Hollister

thats what i sed hollister 15204 waffer and the bag is 18194 its the 2 3/4 bag and as far as today went my b day i went out and ate with family and friend 2twice then worked on my boa tfor a fun day in the sun cant wait to go fishing

I've always had bad luck with the Hollister wafers.  They last me less than 24 hrs.  I've been using Coloplast Sensura and really like the wafers but the bags are a little bulkier on me.  I get a good wear time and they last me through camping trips and boat rides.  So far...so good.



I'd love to hop on a bike and feel the wind wiping through my bag. lol
