The bag rustling referred to in the Teddy post is a minor irritation (I mean the sound of crinkling plastic not poo thievery). It seems to be noisiest turning over in bed; not an alluring sound. Several entrepreneurs offer covers to make stoma bags quieter (decibels) and louder (style). I found one site selling covers made of everything from lace to Kevlar (bullet proof your stoma!). Dan Male, who had to use a Hickman line, developed 'Joey Pouches' for various medical kit.
http://www.joeypouch.co.uk/ Funky fabric covers surely look better than the American Tan bags (there seem to be no bags in non 'white' skin tones; don't people of colour have ostomies?) and should you have a cover on a transparent bag? S**t yeah! I'm heading off to John Lewis fabric department.
I have a rhinestone applicator if you want to borrow it! Don't ask - you know already!

Useful bit of kit! How glam would that be. I'd worry that I'd catch and tear the bag!

I doubt very much whether they'd tear - the crystals are quite smooth really! I can see you're tempted! Just let me know if you'd like to play, and I can let you have the gadget and some crystals to play with! It's like a soldering iron, and the crystals have hot melt glue on the back - fully washable in case of volcanoes! Just Google "Bejeweller" if you want to have a look.
