@pidge32 If I recall correctly, you have a colostomy? How many times do you need to empty a day? If it's not very frequent, perhaps using a closed and disposable bag would make sense for you. I don't have a colostomy so I don't have any experience myself with this. But it would be something to talk with your your wocn about. You could also come to our monthly virtual meeting and ask there.

I have tried so many and continue to have the problem. The only thing that helps is to add a decent amount of the deodorant solution every time I drain.
On average I drain 4 to 5 times a day
