Hi Seagull,
My daughter used them, but she found them to be ineffective. Her experience with them was once the filter got wet, they didn't work, but do try them for yourself and see if they work for you. Best of health to you!

I had the same issues with the filters, once they got wet there were useless, but until they got wet they were wonderful as I did have a lot of gas.

My only advise is to try a couple of different ones, ask for samples from the various companies and see what works for you.

In my experience Coloplast's Assura range have the best filters. I team the Assura Easiflex bag with my Convatec moldable wafer and the filter works fine. Though I do change my bag every day after my morning shower so don't know what they'd be like after a day or two.

As Christine has said, order some different samples from various companies to compare filters. Smiler
