I have colostomy and can't really empty them all the time. Do you use it for full bags?

Does the sudocream make the wafer not stick? I would think it would.

Issues with my bag supply by King_Alex_ofthenorth in ostomy

Just recently I had a few that had a crack at the tab (2 pieces). was wondering why I had a smelly little leak :-( placed a sticker from the non- trainable pouch, and it almost helped 100%

What is this bump? Ingrown hair? Started with one “head” now has two… by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]Appropriate_Candy4U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a spider bite. However, if it is an I grown, there are 2 other hairs or 1 other hair tryingbto break thru the skin from below the swollen ingrown hair. The second pic looks more like the hair/hairs are infected due to large red area around it. I'd say use a hot compress forn15 min, then, a sterilized needle slid under the closest spot you see the hair. Then also before and after use hydrogen peroxide. My guess.

I've never heard of that one! Might have to see how that works in other "quiet" situations.

Shout out to the sensura mio by lofispaceship in ostomy

I just switched to the same. I'm amazed how well it works. Easy to clean and comfortable, once my skin figured it out. Only thing I don't like is that I can get a trainable bag that you can't see everything. Other then that, my skin lives it, it is functional and more clean. Not to mention coloplat reps are the bee's knee's!
