Hello,

Does anyone have any experience of using Flushable Stoma Pouches, part of which can be flushed away in the toilet. 

Thanks

Mansel

  • Hi. I used flushable pouches for a while but as my house is old and I  have had problems with the plumbing in the past, I decided not to use them any more just in case they caused a blockage. I found them ok to use though. They don't have a split cover like the normal ones do. You could order a sample to see how you get on with them before adding them to your prescription.

    Best wishes,

    Kim, many thanks. I have just requested a sample. My main concern was in blocking the plumbing! I do live in a new apartment block with communal plumbing. 

    Regards
