No first hand advice (Definitely no pun intended) to offer. Aside from trying a variety of positions or techniques, or drowning out the offending noise with loud music, even headphones... I don't have a lot to offer. I do know that there are devices made for older couples where the weight of the person on top is supported in a stool like way, while still allowing the person on the bottom to enjoy themselves. It's a big stretch, but it might reduce the noise from the crinkling pouch to an 'overlookable' limit. That being said, one other possibility is to try to change one's outlook on the pouch noise in the first place. Accept it, learn to let it have it's place in your physical enjoyment. There may come a time when it would be a small price to pay for enjoyment.. Personally, I'd love to stay sexually active into my nineties, dependant upon living that long... but I'm probably dreaming. Thing of it is, with or w/o IBD, the aging process can be pretty cruel.
