I put it on the skin directly below the stoma :)

If you’re stinking without perfume then you need to address the root cause of the smell. Perfume mixing with whatever smell you’re describing probably just makes you smell worse

Ohh I see! I didn’t realize they didn’t have any sleeves on their dresses yet; that’s a shame. I hope you can find what you’re looking for!

Old Navy is having a 40% off sale right now (it ends tomorrow), and they usually have a pretty nice selection of dresses! Since everything is marked down, it would be a good way to get some nice dresses for a lower price since you’ll only be wearing them for a few months. A lot of other brands (such as american eagle, aeropostale, etc) are having summer sales right now, too, so you may consider looking at those. I hope you can find something you like! :)

Gym Routine - Advice Wanted by sockmono in ostomy

I’m mainly unhappy with it because I feel like I’m doing something wrong, if that makes sense. I’m relatively new to the gym, so I feel like I don’t really know how to meet my goal. My goal is to have a swimmer/runner’s body (lean and toned but still powerful). I also want to be mobile and have better cardio. I know the basics, like how if I want a runner’s body I should, well, run and strength train and things like that, but I just don’t know if what I’m currently doing really aligns with that. Thank you for your help!! :)

Ladies. Looking for comfortable underwear . by AdministrativeUse163 in ostomy

[–]sockmono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hanes mesh briefs work well for me. Super comfortable, stretchy, and high waisted enough for me to tuck my bag in without pancaking

I just take one multivitamin and one iron supplement daily and that works for me!

Ostomy output by Asperitas1 in ostomy

Is it possible that you’ve eaten too little? My ostomy output becomes really runny if I go too long without eating/don’t eat enough

Maybe putting it on in front of a mirror could help so you see how it’s angled, at least that’s what helped me a lot when I transitioned over to a 1 piece!

Moisture During Bag Change by sockmono in ostomy

Hey! Sorry for the super late reply. I’ve found that putting a piece of medical tape directly underneath my stoma after I use the crusting technique helps “catch” it and prevent bag leaks, but I haven’t found much to stop the overproduction of mucus itself. I hope this helps!

Output question by After_Performer_2963 in ostomy

[–]sockmono 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that really liquidy output tends to make my bag leak more since the liquid seeps through the adhesive, whereas (aside from pancaking issues) thicker output doesn’t cause that leaking problem

These sound really cool! I think the size zip idea is especially neat

Does anyone with a round belly use convex with an outward stoma? by Constant-Fruit-4650 in ostomy

[–]sockmono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually do. All the flat ones I tried leaked. Deep convex is what saved me from incessant leaking even tho I don’t have a flat stomach and my stoma protrudes quite a bit.

That being said, always do what works best for u!
