Abstract
Flexible, soft objects such as ostomy pouches, wound dressings, bandages, diapers, etc. can be flushed down a conventional toilet by covering the article with a sheet of material which rapidly becomes slimy or exudes a slimy material on contact with the water in a toilet bowl or by adding such materials directly to the bowl. An ostomy pouch constructed from materials particularly suited for disposal in a toilet bowl is also disclosed. The pouch is constructed from laminates of water swellable, cold water insoluble films and water resistant tissue paper.
