A drainable ostomy pouch 10 has an outlet 22. Reinforcing members 32, 34 at the outlet are deformable by application of manual pressure at their lateral ends to distend the outlet 22. The lateral edges may be offset or of different lengths to encourage the reinforcing members to bend away from each other, the reinforcing members may alternatively be made of different materials have different stiffness, or different curvatures when bent. A peelable distributed mechanical engagement fastener 46 secures the outlet 22 in a folded state, the fastener parts 46a (46b) are of a hook- hook type, plastic extrusions, or snap fit engagements. A security flap 50 is also provided with fasteners 52a (52b) to hold the outlet in a folded condition.
