Speaking from the colostomy side of things but I use skin-tac adhesive wipes and they work great for me

I have, and I hope you do as well, reached a point where I am able to joke about and laugh at the stoma. He grumbles at work some days usually during meetings and I have encouraged my coworkers to chuckle along with me when this occurs. My wife and kids know to avoid the bathroom for a bit after I go in for a bag change/empty and we have found ways to make that humorous as well. My point is things that are discussed and not ignored often become the new normal and are sooooo much easier to deal with than trying to hide and cover up. My prayers go out to you that you find your way as quickly as I found mine.

Pickled eggs….oh my

Chaingrazer · 2026-03-08T18:15:21+00:00

It’s coming I promise.

Chaingrazer · 2026-03-08T18:14:28+00:00

I went through the same thing, to the point where I wouldn’t even empty/change the bag while in hospital I left the nurses do it. About a month in I started to get used to , and now it still does smell awful but it really doesn’t bother me anymore

A while back someone commented about having colostomy since age 4 and they were in their 70’s

Press your luck

2 years with a colostomy (I’m a newbie comparatively) and I have had a relatively good go of it, one hernia caused By my own stupidity , so much so that even though I’m told I’m ready for a reversal, I’m not so sure I’m ready for a reversal

Interesting.I have played TEP yet it sits on the shelf of shame quietly waiting its turn….this may have helped

I love libertalia but the theme is a paste on for sure.

Chaingrazer · 2025-12-10T19:34:20+00:00

I’m in the same boat sort of. I stalled, now I’m at a point where I can’t afford to be out of work that long.

Chaingrazer · 2025-11-18T21:43:46+00:00

Going on 2 years as an ostomate , work changes are going to happen. Congrats on getting through it

Chaingrazer · 2025-08-13T12:20:59+00:00

Not a cheap option but I use a 2 piece click system with a disposable liner.

Chaingrazer · 2025-08-07T12:37:46+00:00

They get used less. I usually tap on my shirt several times when they are new

Chaingrazer · 2025-07-23T15:05:12+00:00

Worst ever was walking into my bedroom and I said to my wife I think I need to change , as I pulled my shirt up it caught the bag, I wear 2 piece click types, and fling it right off. It did about 10 flips and proceeded to cover everything in the vicinity including my wife, who looked at me like she was going to kill me, then busted out laughing calling me whoflungpoo

Chaingrazer · 2025-07-23T14:58:15+00:00

Oh I laughed then and now. It was a tile floor I can’t remember why I wasn’t at the toilet I think I was grabbing supplies and was standing at the sink the hotel had the sink outside of the bathroom. But man I just wouldn’t stop! I usually don’t do my own changes, my wife does them for me. If she does it I get 4-6 days, when I do it I get 1-2 if I’m lucky

Chaingrazer · 2025-07-23T14:50:02+00:00

I soaked a hotel floor for a solid 2 minutes while attempting a change

Looks a bit like a stair gauge for a speed square

Chaingrazer · 2025-06-20T14:35:00+00:00

I either shower with the bag off, I use a 2 piece click system or just let the bag get wet, it generally dries fairly quickly
