New colostomy: I'm a little lost and have questions

@dgroves0430 I do mix products as I found what works for me. I tried every ring and found none really worked for me so I dont use them. I love the skin tac after someone recommended it, I found I did not need to use skin barriers or glue removers The skin tac washes off with warm water. I do take hot bths so I soak my stoma quite often I will use skin barriers only when I go out not at home After two years and trying a lot of products I find the less I do the better off I am Just ask for samples tiill you find what works I also do buy Ostomy disposal bags on Amazon They are black and zip lock closed

@pez01
Thank you I hadn't heard of skin tacs. I'm allergic to adhesive. I don't use the skin barrier but need to use a ring as the area around the stoma has a couple of divots.

@pez01 awesome. Yeah, I feel like at home the more simple the better. Right now I've just started on the products they gave me at the hospital, but i did order the little disposable bags to put my bags in so the trash isn't unpleasant, plus I have animals so I got a small bathroom trash with a lid. I'm glad the companies are willing to send samples. I feel like that will help with having options.
