Glad to hear you are doing so well. Is your bag disposable or the kind you clean out yourself?

I went to an ostomy nurse prior. They went through a training kit with me and samples from hollister.
The one I started with, I like. It's soft skin color on the back and clear front. I like clear because I feel more confident, kind of like watching a fuel gauge🤣
I empty it daily as needed and replace the bag every third day.
I haven't seen a need to explore others as this is working well.
I did purchase a cover that fits over the bag if I feel a need to cover, like maybe a activity where your shirt rides up. It's black and i rarely use it but nice to have the option.
I have hollister part #s for what I use and can share if you ever want to see what they are.
