definitely get new pouches asap. like Gemz, cut your own for now are probably your best bet, but if you can't get them, then at least get a variety of sizes. once your gut starts going, there really isn't much you can do. to save clean-up, just strip down and hop in the tub/shower and hang out there until things slow down. get one of those hand-held shower heads and attach it. that way you can rinse off while you are waiting. you should try to change your pouch during your slowest part of the day. for most people that is first thing in the morning (empty stomach = empty bowel). also try getting some Eakins seals or something similar to protect the area. powder and wipes alone won't cut it.
