An ostomy pouch has a body side wall and a distal side wall defining a collection chamber. An opening is provided in the body side wall. A barrier is operably mounted to the body side wall over the opening. The barrier has an inlet opening. An internal collection member is mounted to the barrier. The internal collection member includes a tubular net having a first open end and a second closed end, and a ring-shaped capsule for storing the net inside the capsule in a collected manner. The ring-shaped capsule has an open central region and is mounted to the barrier with the capsule open central region and the barrier inlet opening aligned with one another to define a pouch inlet. The capsule extends into the pouch collection chamber and the first open end of the net is mounted to the capsule overlying the pouch inlet. Excretion is inlet to the pouch and is discharged into the net, paying out the net.
