Has anyone tried connecting their cone to a regular enema bag? Inexpensive, indestructible, has a flow controller...you'd have to measure the water you put in. I haven't tried it to see if my cone (or better yet, tubing) would fit the enema bag. I know I have one here someplace.

Nothing more to add except I am a new gatoer, a few months. Using convatec and like it. I was taught with Hollister but wear convatec and wanted to stay with those wafers.
So far so good. I rinse every day with warm water and hang to dry, on the opposite day, I rinse with a vinegar water mixture. If I feel I'm pretty cleared out b ythe time I shower ( with it on) I open it up and wash with soap and water then rinse well.

Order what you need now, before a new deductible year starts. I'm ordering an additional (back up) kit because my insurance wil lallow it.
