I bathe when my system is calm and I havent eaten in a while I put a washcloth over stoma just in case it leaks and it really feels great to thoroughly soak and clean area. In between changes I use a warm washcloth also. I use a hairdryer to be sure area is dry before applying new pouch

That’s what I do. Have u ever heard of someone going in a hot tub? Just wondered if it was possible. Or too risky

Bathe as in the bathtub? I would give a million dollars to take a bath but I have yet to even shower! I do have sitz baths and wash daily.
But a real Bath, omg, a dream come true. Is that safe for your stoma as far as soaking in water that could have germs in it?
