Sibling likes clear ostomy bag in full view.

I have a sibling that uses an ostomy bag. The thing that bothers me is she likes it in full view so people see all the contents of what's inside. She said she's not embarrassed or anything, which I think is great. However not everyone wants to see poo in a clear bag when you're eating or walking around. Why does she not understand that people are sensitive to visually seeing poo in a bag.

UPDATE: Sister is 43, lives at home with mom, sister has had Crohns since age 15. She's had an ostomy for about 5 years or so. I'm her older sister and generally can only tolerate her is small amounts of time. Sister has always been attention iseeking. We don't really hang out together, but took a road trip together for a funeral. I'm going to see if I can find a Crohns support bag cover and hope she uses it since a Crohns support group is her life. Im also going to talk to my mom about this issue.

Update 2:I sent her a bunch if pics of covers and she likes them!!! Holy smokes!! Im only buying her 1, but I have my fingers crossed she uses it.

Handle holders?

At age 45 I just bought my first set of stainless cookware! I got Cuisinart Multiclad Pro 12 piece set at a steal of a deal. What are you all using for holders on the handles to keep your hands from getting too hot? I've seen so many options out there. Which do you recommend?

Edited: Thank you everyone!
