Today, I am using a leg bag to extend storage from the regular bag for the first time. I am back in the office and running to the bathroom all the time is annoying.

@jaxfl Good idea! I’m going to tell my husband about that…so he doesn’t have to keep getting up to use the bathroom. I have to look that up, also. I think the tube goes into the stoma and you secure the pouch to the upper leg. That should give the surrounding area around the stoma some time to breathe and be free. How did that work for you today?
