If yu have a urostomy? Your tubing is too stiff so when you turn over and over it will sometimes shut the valve off. Mine did the same thing until I put a short piece of latex hose and have not had that problem since. Hope this helps you.

Just splice it in to the hose that that you now use it only takes about one foot of the latex hose. Just put it at the top and connect it to your bag. Hopes this helps you.
