@pez01 do you use the cottonelle wipes on your skin when you change your appliance, or some other time?
Are you using a one piece and changing the appliance when you dispose of the bag, or a two piece?

@pez01 thank you so much for the advice. I have cottonelle wipes, I just wasn't sure if it was something I could use but that's a great option. I'm definitely going to look into those bags, I've heard good things about the brand. Did you get the whole system or just the bags, I wasn't sure if anything is interchangeable or not? I know the hospital gave me hollister.
