Best Colostomy Bags of 2025

“I've tried various brands for my father, and none have worked well until now. This product has no significant issues.”

“I ordered these as a backup while waiting for insurance deliveries, and I found that the appliance performed excellently. Although the bottom closure was a bit unfamiliar, it worked just fine.”

“The adhesive is incredibly strong. I appreciate the effective odor control from the carbon filter, and the two-piece design suits me better than one-piece options.”

"Initially, I was a bit hesitant about the bags' appearance, as they seemed a tad flimsy compared to my usual Convatec Esteem bags. However, I have been extremely satisfied with them! Their smaller size is perfect for my needs, and they are incredibly easy to empty without any output sticking to the bag. The wear time has also been very good."

"After trying these bags for a month, I’ve found them to be working exceptionally well. I did notice that the Velcro flap doesn’t feel very secure by the end of the day, so I started using a spring-loaded paper clip to hold it closed. This small adjustment has resolved my concerns. Plus, at $1.80 per bag, compared to $5.20 for similar Convatec bags, the savings are significant!"

"I bought these bags out of necessity since my regular brand was out of stock. I was pleasantly surprised by their thinner adhesive wafer and tougher material. Overall, they seem to fit better and, while I'm still unsure about the Velcro closure, it does provide a good grip. After using them for about a year, I can confidently say they hold up better than the thicker alternatives I've tried, and I appreciate the cost savings!"

"Having had an ileostomy for about 7 years, I've tried various appliances. I finally found this 1-piece bag that lays flat, which helps me feel less self-conscious. It's also significantly less expensive than what my insurance covered, so I don’t even go through them anymore. The only downside is that the bags are clear, but I wear a belt over them, so it's not a big issue."

"I have a temporary colostomy and was struggling with sensitive skin and rashes from other products. I came across these bags and they are phenomenal! I do have to change them 2 to 3 times a day, which can be tough on my skin, but the two-ply design and built-in filter really work for me. I did face some issues with gummy adhesive in the summer, but I was able to return them, making it a win-win overall."

"I purchased these colostomy bags and I was really disappointed. They feel like cheap plastic and the Velcro keeps failing. I can even smell through the bag, which is quite off-putting. Honestly, I'm just tempted to throw them away as they feel like a total waste of money!"

"These Ostomy Bags work great for my needs and are half the price of others I've tried. I'm giving these a thumbs up!"

"I'm nearing the end of my journey with these bags and I'm really pleased with the shorter closed-end pouch system. They were affordable for my prep day and better than expected. No leaks, and comfortable!"

"I've experienced some skin breakdown from these bags. They also make a crinkly noise and the adhesive caused some discomfort. Unfortunately, they leaked a couple of times."

"I recently had surgery and needed colostomy bags. After trying various brands, I found these bags to be a great backup option. I was surprised at how well they performed — they lasted four days without any leaks. I did experience some odor by the third day, but overall, I was pleased with the odor resistance. The extra adhesive strip gave me added confidence, and the visibility window helped me fit the bag properly. For the price, I’d definitely buy these again as a reliable backup."

"My son has been dealing with Crohn's disease for years and has struggled to find bags that work for him. After trying many options, we discovered these and they've been a huge improvement. We used to have constant leaks and discomfort, but now he can typically wear one for three days without any issues. It’s a relief to finally find something that allows him to live a more normal life. Even though we still pay out of pocket, it’s worth it for his comfort."

"I usually buy more expensive bags, but I decided to try these based on positive reviews. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality, thinking they looked cheap. After using them, I found the adhesive to be good, but I had a leak within two hours. They are shorter than what I’m used to, which made me a bit uncomfortable in public. Unfortunately, I don't think I would order these again."

"I’ve tried many ostomy bags, and I can confidently say this is the best I've found. The quality is excellent, and the ease of use is fantastic. It sticks well, and I love the Velcro closure. I highly recommend it!"

"I've experienced a lot of issues with different bags, but these are by far the best! They stick like glue without irritating my skin. The ease of removal is amazing, and the price is very reasonable. I’ll definitely buy again!"

"As someone living in the tropics, I sweat a lot, and most brands fail quickly. I tried this one and found it much more secure. It feels reliable, and while I may need adhesive remover for my skin, the confidence in its protection is worth it!"

"I've been using this product for two years and I am very satisfied with it."

"I wouldn't switch from Convatec; it has improved my quality of life by 100%."

"These bags were a game-changer for me! They stick way better than the hospital ones, but I wish they were a bit cheaper and came with more clips."

"I find these bags incredibly easy to apply, and I appreciate that they didn't leak during use. Reapplying is a breeze. Great product!"

"After trying various styles, I've discovered these colostomy bags to be the most reliable. They are the easiest to drain and clean, making them perfect for traveling!"

"I need 'Sharr Colostomy Bags' as they fit me well. I used to spend $30 for a box of 20 bags. Please check my previous orders and help me with this!"

"I use Hollister, but I now alternate with Konweda to manage my skin irritation around the stoma. The pricing is reasonable, and I appreciate the built-in odor control. The Velcro closure makes it easy to fold over. Initially, I thought the wafer was separating, but it turns out it's just an extra fold that lifts. I find the wafer shallow and easier to clean with water. Being new to ileostomy care, I'm learning through trial and error."

"These bags are great for their purpose, and the cost per bag is a bargain compared to others. I love that I get 15 bags and five barriers in a box. At 72 years old, the coverage from Medicare falls short for me at 20 bags per month. I need 60 bags, so the lower price helps me save money. I'm not interested in draining and cleaning bags, life is too short for that!"

"Initially, I wrote a negative review due to shipping delays, thinking it might be a scam like my past experiences. However, the items arrived as ordered, and though the box was a bit damaged, the contents were securely packaged. The bags and barriers seem to be of similar quality to name-brand products I've used, and I'm confident they'll serve as a useful backup for travel."

"I've found these bags to be a good deal for the money. They work well in a pinch and I definitely recommend them."

"I previously gave this product a positive review, but I need to revise it now. After wearing the skin barrier for a few days, it cut me and got infected. I'm now on my fourth round of antibiotics. The barrier shifted after a few days and caused a small incision near my stoma, which led to the infection. I believe the plastic is too sharp or rigid. I won't be buying these again."

"I decided to try these bags since my usual ones were unavailable. However, I found them to be thin and see-through, and they ended up leaking. I returned the second box because it wasn't opened yet. I was disappointed with the odor when they weren’t leaking yet."
