The Platypus bottle folds flat and has sports cap with a nozzle. It’s easy to carry and works nearly as well as the wash bottle. Amazon carries it in various sizes.
My ileostomy isn’t reversible because of the underlying cause. I had radiation therapy for prostate cancer in 2006. It cured the cancer but caused extensive damage to surrounding tissue: I have a recto-urethral fistula and a urethral stricture.

I’m so sorry that this has happened to you. Thank you for the info on the platypus. I will look for it. Thank you for your openness. You don’t have to answer me if I ask something too personal. I’d never want trick bring up anything that is uncomfortable but I do appreciate your honesty. Kathy

Thanks. Followed a suggestion of standing to empty bag. Much easier. The output on toilet easier to clean.. Need to add clip to my bag for holding dress.
