Bag It Away Ostomy X-Bag Bag-It-Away Ostaway X-Bags are specially made for disposing of colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy bags. This product was designed by people who understand what having a stoma means. The Ostaway X-Bag is a leak proof, odor reducing ostomy disposal bag. The bags are whisper quiet and because it is made with a light absorbing film, you have 100% invisibility of contents. The Ostaway bags are compatible with all major brands including Convatec, Coloplast, Cymed, and Hollister. These bags can contain the higher liquid output of ileostomy as well as the odor that can sometimes be associated with colostomy output.
KEM Osto-EZ Vent Ostomy Bag Vents

The KEM Osto-EZ-Vent - Air Release Vent for Ostomy Bags can easily be attached to any ostomy bag. The vent permanently bonds to the ostomy pouch and can be opened and closed to allow air inside the pouch to escape. With the Osto-EZ-Vent there is no reason to remove the colostomy bag from the wafer, instead, you open the vent, which allows air to escape. When air builds up inside of your ostomy bag, it causes pressure to build as well. That build up of pressure can easily cause pouch explosions and it can cause the wafer to pull away from your abdomen causing a leak. There is a wonderful step by step direction sheet that explains exactly how to attach the Osto-EZ-Vent to your colostomy or ileostomy bag. This is a terrific product that helps ostomates with a very real problem, it is easy to see that this product was designed by someone who not only is familiar with the theory of having an ostomy, but has one personally.
