Hello All,

I haven't posted since my surgery to have a permanent ileostomy (late July). I've been doing/feeling great since then.

I had a question though, which is regarding filtered pouches. I have only used filtered pouches but wanted to get everyone's take as to the pros and cons of each as I'm thinking of trying the pouches without a filter.

Does anybody have an opinion as to which is better? Also - does anyone use the deodorize drops (and if so do they work)?

Thank you.

Hi
I used to use only the non filtered pouches, but when i switched to the Mio 1 piece, it only came in filtered. I get about 36 hours before it clogs up. 36 is better than nothing.

The filters always get clogged up on mine.

M9 drops are wonderful!! No smell....none.

I am a huge filter fan...but I do cover mine with a piece of Sure Seal (it's waterproof AND breathable) so I don't have leakage from the filter. I don't have problems with the filter doing it's job!!
