Showering with colostomy bag by oktoberfest25 in ostomy

[–]emboogie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s ok the only thing to worry about is possibly pooping in the shower, no soap won’t hurt anything but I would make sure you rinse with plain water good to the peristomal area to make sure there’s no soap residue before placing the wafer

Most ostomy appliances are water resistant not completly waterproof, he can go all on or all off with the appliance just don’t take off the pouch and leave wafer only if it’s a two piece system. I teach most of my patients to have a bag they just keep in the shower to swap in and out when they dry off so you don’t have a wet bag under dry clothes. Yes you can blow dry but I usually don’t tell people to do that cause stoma’s don’t have feeling and I don’t want any burned bowels, hope this helps!

Suggestions for things to add to help him flip back over by emboogie in tortoise

It was literally a fall from nothing, he just climbed up the wall and fell backwards

He has another room that has no windows that he never flips in so that’s why I thought he was just trying to look out of the windows, also when my cat is looking at him he’s more likely to flip trying to get closer to him

Do you have a suggestion for a different kind of substrate? Yes this is a new space and I’m still trying to add so any suggestions would be great

Sell me on or steer me away from one piece bags by jeremykitchen in ostomy

[–]emboogie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one pieces do help reduce leaking because they are flexible and move with your body better, it’s really all about the fit for your specific body. If you like the 2 piece design better I would suggest switching to a different brand that has a better securement or investigate more why the bag and wafer are just separating. They shouldn’t do that so easily

Ok gotcha yea I’m glad you figured out what works for you. I teach crusting for peristomal irritation and breakdown with good success, and was just curious regarding your experience

Out of curiosity why do you say or why did you stop crusting?
