My fiancée uses both a Urostomy and an Ileostomy bag. As you probably know, at night one bag hangs on each side of a single bed.

This makes sleeping in the same bed practically impossible. The only way around it is to wear a smaller bag and have a PA come in at night, which is tiresome, infringes our privacy, and isn't what we want. A smaller bag can also burst.

I'm therefore wondering if there are any solutions to this? There must be other Urostomy and Ileostomy users in a relationship.
