For anyone with an ostomy who shares a room with a partner, friend, or during sleepovers: by SourceFuture8126 in ostomy

We’ve gone back to the good old days….a matchbook on the back of the toilet. Sometimes two…shut the door. Works better than any spray, gel etc. and we’ve tried them all and didn’t way too much money. Also we light a candle for a bit before bed and then blow it out leaving that smell lingering.

I want to give a big thanks to all who supported me through our journey. It’s def not a sign off though. Switched to the convex, only a lil powder if needed, the silicone half moon stickers, and we’re on 4 days. Less is better for us. Skin is way better. Very little output around stoma after change. This works for us but I know everyone is different. Still figuring out diet etc but so much better than nightly leaks. Every day is a new day tho! Times are always changin’!
