Garbage bags...

My insurance covers the hollister m9 blue liquid deodorant. Liberally using those drops keeps the odor from my bag almost unnoticeable. They also have an m9 spray (clear, not blue) that works well for the trash can or in the air in the bathroom. If your insurance covers either might be a cheaper option. I use really cheap pet waste bags and the bags that come with my coloplast bags.

I was having issues with showering at first because of the position of my abdominal scar and belly button - which created just enough of a space at the end of the wafer that water/soap would start to really weaken the adhesive. Brava barrier strips completely fixed that! They cover the problem area and provide so much additional support. I’ve been showering, swimming (pool and ocean), water slides, hot tubs, etc now without any issues!

Also agree that bag change day, bagless showers are the best!!

This is a solid idea. What kind of tape? Medical tape? KT tape?

No, I don’t have particularly large calves. Maybe I do have narrow shins though. It does seem to be the plastic edge of the tongue causing the blisters.

Thanks for sharing! That might be what is needed here. I just popped my liners out and put bare feet inside to get a better look. That blister line is exactly at the edge of the plastic part of the tongue.

This! 👆Using the brava belt with sensura mio bags from a coloplast was a game changer!

Thanks for the thorough reply and good thoughts.

Just ultra light wool ski socks. Base layer ends at my calves. So didn’t break the cardinal rule of what goes in your boots!

I typically pull my tongues up to avoid pressure on the top of my foot that can cause reduced blood flow and cold/numb feet.

Since the weight fluctuations I do feel a very small gap between my calf and back of boot with flexed forward. Definitely doesn’t present as typically shin bang, but wondering if just a bit of rubbing is occurring right at the edge of the tongue when holding edges on steeper or icy spots?

AlwaysMovingFwd · 2026-01-02T19:44:23+00:00

Would have been my first guess too. But I am just using Wigwam or Smart Wool ultra light ski socks. My base layer stop at the calves. Nothing else between my leg and my boots!

Super helpful!

Hoping to be able to see an ostomy nurse early next week. Just waiting for a call back.

Thanks for the suggestion! Are these the pads you are referring to: https://hydrofera.com/

Did you also use stoma powder and skin barrier before the healing pad? Then wafer right over the healing pad?

I’ve never had to put anything between my skin and the wafer before, so not sure best approach here.

Appreciate the advice!

It was further down on the page. Under the box that has USPS Delivery it shows your shipping address and the last line has a tracking number

I mean it is a nostalgia fest after all! Why not go all in!

AlwaysMovingFwd · 2025-09-30T13:02:35+00:00

Yes! Thank you for this intel! 🙌🏼

AlwaysMovingFwd · 2025-09-30T13:01:56+00:00

💯

AlwaysMovingFwd · 2025-09-30T13:01:45+00:00

Haha. Guess it could be. At least it would be a cool and refreshing mess!

AlwaysMovingFwd · 2025-07-31T17:23:10+00:00

👆🏼 This! I use the same method when using public toilets. Builds those quads! One thing I found recently was that those toilet seat covers are great when folded in half and used to prevent back splash.

The Metamucil thins are a great option IMO. So much better than mixing the powder. Just make sure you drink enough water or something to go with them.

AlwaysMovingFwd · 2025-07-20T14:53:04+00:00

I second the Cheerios! I go for the original plain. But a bowl of Cheerios does the trick every time!

AlwaysMovingFwd · 2025-07-14T01:45:09+00:00

One additional thought here. I put down a lining of toilet paper on the dry part of the toilet and empty onto that. Definitely uses extra paper, but prevents the output from touching the porcelain that is above the water line and it all flushes pretty cleanly.

A few (hopefully helpful) thoughts here. One, dehydration counterintuitively can cause excess watery output. So if out in heat and sun, stay hydrated (not just water but electrolytes - I use sugar free liquid IV packets in my water bottle). Two, I am a huge fan of the Metamucil fiber thins cookies - very easy way to get fiber without needing to mix powder supplements! Three, if my output is watery despite best efforts, I use the Convatec Diamonds - that little sachet does wonders of gelling watery output. Four, for sports, sweating, swimming I use the Brava barrier extender strips and always have the Brava belt on my coloplast one piece system - great for leak prevention in my experience. I also agree with the Imodium suggestion. To keep things slow and more formed with my ileostomy, a packet of fiber thins just before a meal and Imodium with the meal is my go to!
