My bag is so darn crinkly sounding at the slightest movement. I need help because this little(?) bundle of joy is for life. I've tried so many belts and covers I could open a boutique!! I'm always watching help videos and reading, but nothing helps with crinkly noises. I'm only 73 and have a good 20 years left in me.

Hi Mary, love your attitude - I have a bundle of joy for life, too! Have you tried different brands? I use Hollister which is actually noisier than others I've tried but I like the length, the softness and the peekaboo window. I seem to recall Coloplast being quieter. Maybe give others a try?

Hi MO, I like the part about being 73 and looking forward to at least 20 more years. Some days I think that might be good, other days not so much. I've had my ileo for almost 40 years and don't mind if my Convatec pouch is crinkly as long as it's not leaky.

I use Coloplast and never worry about noisy bags and I use transparent so I can rinse it as clean as possible.

I put a little talcum powder on the outside.  I think it helps.
