Flushable Pouch Liners
Vancouver chapter reports receiving a letter from a local firm who forwarded samples of their product called Colomajic Flushable Pouch Liners. Included with the samples were a number of glowing tributes from ostomates who had used them. The liners are inserted inside any two-piece pouch, and can be removed, the contents emptied into a toilet, and the liner also deposited in the toilet and flushed away. The liners cost about 30 cents each for a box of 100, or 17 cents each for a box of 300. The firm is Jay Medical and their number is (604) 717-6292 or toll free at 1-800-452-9633.
