Does anyone use a 1-piece, closed bag on a daily basis?

I was talking to the Coloplast product person and he was recommending I try this. I'm athletic and small framed so a lot of products out there are cumbersome and long on my body, but I am concerned about adhesion issues with my skin. Currently I'm in a 2-piece Hollister set-up and do a bag change approx 2-3x's day. I have no skin issues but am worried that if I switch to a 1-piece I will cause skin problems with the multiple daily removals. Any one out there using a 1-piece closed bag on a daily basis or more on an as-need basis? Thanks!

Does anyone make a 'quiet' bag?

I use a Hollister 2 piece system which fits me very well but their bags are so noisy. I'm not bothered much during the day, but at night when I toss and turn I hear 'crunch, crunch'. I'm open to changing brands but I'm a slim, tall woman and very few flanges fit my narrow abdomen. And if there are any other women out there that have a small build and are very active, I'd be interested to learn what brand you are using. Thanks!

Malinois thinking "Why is he so darn slow?"

Norbert is our 130 lb Sulcata Tortoise who for the past four years has had to endure a Malinois that keeps dreaming he'll move faster than a snail and trigger her prey drive. So far no luck, but she still finds excuses to 'hunt' him.
