# 1 when changing bag the important thing is to make sure you use barrier cream, I wash around stoma and use a hair dryer to make sure it’s bone dry then a thin layer of barrier cream wipe of access . Use dryer again till dry make sure it’s dry or you will get embarrassing leakage .
#2 when showering I use Saran Wrap enough to cover bag and use adhesive tape to tape top of bag. Have also used plastic bags and taped them at top also.
Hope these little tricks help you
Good luck …Foss

Forgot to mention I use protection ring after barrier cream before putting on pouch. I use only Coloplast products. To me they are the best. Foss
