Draining My Pouch

Posted by pidge32 @pidge32, Jul 28 8:00am

I have tried using the deodorizer solution as well as oil and I’m still having a problem with a backup above my stoma. Right now I have to work it down and it still isn’t really cleaned.
Any suggestions?

@charlescarnohan I agree, I prefer coloplast to hollister.

Thanks, I’m using Coloplast right now as well. I wasn’t sure what M9 was.

Hi, I am now using the baby Johnson mineral oil and is helping quit a bit.

I found this on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. It's a game changer! After emptying the open end of the bag I fill this soft plastic bottle with water and squeeze it standing over the toilet. I usually fill the bottle two or three times with water from the faucet. The stem of the bottle goes all the way up the bag and around the stoma for a clean rinse of the bag. You can then add deodorizer if desired. Great results for less than $10.
