Good question, Ken. I wonder if @duckduck2020 @tucsonguy @miriam57 @dideon @katydid77 @pjebp @engelee may have tips about how to reduce odor and lubricate the pouch.

Ken, what are you using now to help with odor and lubrication?

I have a powder I put in my ouch to eliminate the odor. I get it where I get my supplies from . I use nothing to lubricate the pouch at all

Hi Ken, I am 5 weeks out. I did try the lubricant, but didn’t matter to me, my poo is still more smooth still. Odor, I have read about the bags with a filter. Otherwise, generally, I don’t have smell unless I burp it.

I don’t believe I could be much help on this one. My husband has a urostomy and we have not had problems with odor with his pouch. We do use Lysol spray around the bedroom due to the night bag. Wish I could be more help.
