Hollister 8031 Premier 1-Piece 12” Drainable Ostomy Pouch & Flat FlexWear Skin Barrier, Pack of 10, Ultra-Clear, Cut-to-Fit up to 2-1/2” – Adhesive Barrier (Tape)

Hollister is the only brand of ostomy bags I use. I've been at this since my surgery in August but not my first rodeo as my first ostomy I had reversed almost 20 years ago. I like these bags more than the other brand my insurance covered back then (Coloplast). Both ostomy sites are different though. My training from my Ostomy nurse is better this time around too.I prep with warm water wash, then stoma powder as required, Cavilon skin prep, and usually I use a medical adhesive agent to strengthen the adhesive on the bag. I average 5 days per bag! Much better than my first ostomy. Even at the end of the 5th day I notice no odor from the bag contents except when emptying it.There is another Hollister bag I use that has a carbon filter and a belt system for even better support and peace of mind. The science behind that is the belt holds the bag snugly in place with tension that enhances the seal and thereby extending the life of the bag. I use a app that scans the internet for the best price and thats the bag I go with, best bang for my buck.No issues with quality control with this model. The edges are secure, not separation there. No holes opening in the bag itself. The seal at the end of the neck always works unless I get in a rush and neglect to ensure it is closed properly. All in all a well designed, secure and safe bag, imo. I need the security from the bag as I start chemo soon. The last thing I need is to be worried about the quality of my bag while dealing with this cancer.

Have used about 6 of them from this box so far, no complaints! Stick well, seal well, Velcro lock clicks closed and holds well. Includes the measuring card. Everything we hoped for and expected. Love Hollister!

Easy to apply. I wish it had a filter. Price is nice. Packaging it came in was undamaged.. They don't stick together like some do. The end stays closed good when velcroed.

I am amazed that they get away with pricing these almost 4 times more than the competitors 😲.I just bought them thinking they must be better than everything else out there. Well after using them and then trying the other brands available,I definitely rate these as the worst. The plastic almost seems porus and gets stinky right away.🤷 Bottom line is, try your options because this is the worst one out there. They must market the hospitals and doctors with their products so you are just programmed to think that this is the go to product..Smart marketing on their behalf but definitely the lamest product out there.

I got these only because the nursing home i was in kept threatening me with not having anymore until their delivery arrived. They worked as expected

Good value

Very useful

I ordered a box in May and they worked decent enough. The adhesive was kinda old so the edges of the bandaid part would peel quickly. But I just got another box in and what arrived was a completely different style of bag. Luckily these will still work for me but just in case for future buyers I'm leaving a lower review. The new box had all of the same style numbers and everything so I didn't know until I went to put a new one on. The adhesive of these newer ones are still kinda old/peel but I've used these with a medical adhesive to help and it works. (See review pictures for bag differences)
