Yes my insurance does allow that many but I do have a copay I would be afraid to reuse a pouch cause no matter how well you rinse them they still contain bacteria and could cause a problem but thats just how I feel It may not be a problem but I would check with your nurse or doctor if its safe .

@pez01 Already have checked with the home visiting nurse. Because I have a catheter and that is like a conduit for UTIs no matter how clean you are, I tend not to worry too much about ostomy issues.
