Overview
The Alvita Disposable Dry Ostomy and Incontinence Bag is a discrete, single-use disposal bag designed for the hygienic and dignified disposal of used ostomy pouches and incontinence products. Managing stoma care and incontinence in everyday settings — whether at home, at work, or when travelling — requires a disposal solution that is practical, odour-contained, and discreet enough to use in public facilities without discomfort or embarrassment. These disposal bags meet that need, providing a clean and hygienic way to wrap and seal a used product for disposal in a standard bin when a dedicated clinical waste facility is not available.
The bags are opaque, providing visual privacy during disposal, and are designed with a secure seal or tie mechanism to contain odour and prevent leakage during transport to a bin. This combination of discretion and hygiene makes them well suited to carrying in a bag or keeping in a pocket alongside stoma supplies for use away from home, as well as for everyday use in domestic settings. NOT FOUND — please confirm the exact dimensions, seal type (tie, self-seal, or clip), and whether the bags are individually wrapped from Alvita product documentation.
For anyone managing an ostomy or supporting a family member who does, having an adequate supply of disposal bags is a practical necessity. Browse our wider range of stoma care and incontinence supplies and our everyday health and personal care products for complementary items. Our pharmacists are available for a confidential conversation about stoma care products and supplies.
How to Use Alvita Disposable Dry Ostomy / Incontinence Bags
- Open the disposal bag by the designated opening — unfold or separate the seal as directed by the bag format. NOT FOUND — please confirm the specific opening mechanism from product documentation.
- Place the used ostomy pouch or incontinence product directly into the open bag, handling it as little as possible and keeping the soiled surfaces contained within the outer bag as you place it.
- Seal the bag securely. Close the bag using the tie, self-adhesive seal, or clip mechanism as designed — ensure the seal is fully closed to contain odour and prevent leakage.
- Dispose of in a suitable bin. Used ostomy and incontinence products wrapped in these disposal bags can be placed in a standard domestic waste bin. When using public facilities, look for sanitary waste bins — these are the most appropriate disposal point in public toilets.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after disposal with soap and water or hand sanitiser.
Tips for use away from home
- Carry a small supply in a discreet case alongside your stoma supplies so disposal bags are always to hand when needed away from home.
- The bags are compact enough to sit alongside supplies in a stoma bag carry case or small handbag pocket.
- Where a public bin is not available immediately, a sealed disposal bag can be held temporarily until an appropriate bin is found without risk of odour or leakage — but dispose of as soon as a bin is available.
For advice on stoma care products and supplies, speak confidentially to a Pearl Chemist Group pharmacist.

FAQs
Can these bags be used for all types of ostomy pouch?
NOT FOUND — please confirm the bag dimensions and capacity from Alvita product documentation to confirm suitability for different pouch types and sizes, and update this answer. As a general guide, disposal bags for ostomy use are designed to accommodate standard one-piece and two-piece pouch sizes, but confirming that the specific Alvita bag dimensions suit your pouch type before purchasing in bulk is advisable. Speak to a Pearl Chemist Group pharmacist or your stoma care nurse if you are unsure about compatibility with your specific pouch system.
Are these bags odour-proof?
NOT FOUND — please confirm the odour-barrier specification from Alvita product documentation and update this answer. Quality ostomy disposal bags typically use opaque, odour-containment materials and a secure seal to minimise detectable odour during disposal and short-term transport to a bin. If odour control is a particular concern, speak to a pharmacist who can advise on disposal bag options with specific odour-barrier ratings.
Can I use these bags in public toilets?
Yes. These bags are specifically designed to facilitate hygienic disposal of used ostomy and incontinence products in public toilet facilities, where dedicated clinical waste bins may not always be present. A sealed disposal bag allows the used product to be contained and placed in the standard sanitary bin found in most public toilet cubicles. If a sanitary bin is not available, the sealed bag can be taken out of the cubicle and disposed of in an external bin. Using a disposal bag removes any risk of odour or visible soiling during this process.
How many bags are in a pack?
NOT FOUND — please confirm the pack quantity from Alvita product documentation and update this answer. Knowing the pack quantity helps plan supply requirements — most people managing a stoma change their pouch once or twice daily, so a pack quantity that provides a week or more of supply reduces reordering frequency. Pearl Chemist Group stocks a range of stoma care and incontinence supplies and our pharmacists can advise on supply planning and product availability.
Does Pearl Chemist Group stock other stoma care products?
Yes. Pearl Chemist Group stocks a range of stoma care and incontinence products including disposal bags, and our pharmacists are available for free, confidential consultations on stoma care supply needs. If you have recently had stoma surgery or are managing an ongoing stoma care routine, our pharmacists can discuss your supply requirements and help ensure you have access to the products you need.
