Hi Star10473
As I let you know in the cervical group I’m bringing the discussion over here as it’s more appropriate in this group and allows the thread there to continue to be relevant for the original poster.
So, to summarise, you have mentioned that you are having issues with a bag filling up quickly and being noticeable and you are worrying about the bag bursting which is upsetting you.
You haven’t said which stoma is giving these issues, so can you let us know if your worry is about the colostomy or urostomy? The advice we can give will depend on which stoma it is, so if you can tell us this we can try to help and advise you.

I have used pre cut bags for about 4 years now. It’s fine to do that, so long as you are providing exact measurements to the supply company.
You can easily try new products-lots of companies are happy to send out free samples-you can do it online. You don’t have to limit yourself to what you’ve had from the very start. I’ve changed what I’ve used many times over the years when new products came out or I wanted to try something new which I thought might be better for me.

I have done in the past. First of all, you could look at the companies who make particular products-like Coloplast, Salts, Trio-there are a large number of them and you will find their websites online. You can then complete an online form and ask for samples to try.
I’ve had lots of different things to try over the years by doing this.
