Hi,
I had such brilliant support from this forum pre-surgery (thanks!), I'm back with a question...
I now have both colostomy and urostomy. I use Hollister two piece system on both - which is excellent in terms of how easy the bags are to change, no leaks, and perfect skin....BUT the bags are noisy. I sound like I have two crisp packets tied to my waist. I'm very conscious of it and have definitely seen someone sitting near me notice the rustle.
Anyone found stoma bags that are quiet, ie don't rustle?
Many thanks
Hi Babotie
Ah, the crisp bag rustle! I don’t use 2 piece systems for either bag, but I use a convex Hollister urostomy bag and it definitely rustles-I am sometimes quite conscious of it. I’ve never found one over the years which doesn’t rustle.
For my colostomy, I use Salts Confidence B bags which are very neat- available in black, nude or white and don’t rustle at all-they are nice and soft.
I hope others might have suggestions and you can find something. I’d love a non rustling urostomy bag personally!

My Salts Confidence B bags are flat bags and are not to my knowledge available in a 2 piece system but it’s always worth checking out as I haven’t ever used a 2 piece with either of my stomas.
I’ve used Sensura Mio bags in the past but only for my colostomy when it was new and having a drainable bag was handy, but from memory they were pretty quiet. It’s been so long ago I’d forgotten about using them!
Request some free samples online from both companies and then you can try some out to see how they feel without needing to change your prescription yet. Good luck!
