1. An ostomy appliance comprising: a. an ostomy pouch having (i) an interior space; (ii) a stomal aperture communicating with the interior space; (ii) a closable opening distinct from the stomal aperture, and communicating with the interior space; and b. an adhesive body fitment attached to the ostomy pouch along a region of permanent attachment that extends entirely around the stomal aperture so that the body fitment is permanently sealed to the ostomy pouch all around the stomal aperture, the body fitment having (i) an adhesive body-facing surface and (ii) a non-body-facing surface; and the body fitment including adhesive having a moldable region integral with a constrained region, the adhesive having a more constrained shape in the constrained region than in the moldable region; wherein the closable opening of the ostomy pouch is configured for providing when open access to and direct contact with the non-body-facing surface of the adhesive, through the pouch interior, to enable direct molding of the moldable region of the adhesive from the non-body-facing surface of the adhesive; wherein the pouch comprises a front wall and a rear wall, said stomal aperture being provided in said rear wall, and said closable opening comprising an access aperture provided in said front wall, and said access aperture at least partly overlaps said stomal aperture; and further comprising a flatus vent formed in said closable opening, and a deodorizing filter carried by said closable opening.
