This year my Crohn's has decided to start developing fistulas, and now I have several draining fistulas in the area around my ileostomy that I am dealing with. They are too close to use separate pouches to get drainage from them, but too far apart to fit in most bags. I just got a sample of something with a 4-1/3" cut size, which just barely manages to fit the fistulas and ileostomy in it. However, I do not care for the bag at all so far. This is the bag, btw:

Probably the worst thing about the bag is the "access window" or whatever, which has the plastic ring. Unlike a 2 piece system, where that would be down skin level, this is stuck above the ileostomy, so the ileostomy pushes the ring out away from the body, making the ring very visible in my shirt, and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm sure it's made worse by the fact that my ileostomy is quite long.
Anyways, I've been looking at a lot of different supplies, trying to find anything with a large cut size (I need at least 4-1/4" cut size), and this is the only thing I've been able to find that's large enough. I figure there must be other large options, right? If you know of anything else that would be great, thanks!
