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

Posted by dgroves0430 @dgroves0430, Jul 18 9:24pm

So I just got my colostomy, I'm still trying to deal with my feelings about it, but a few of my concerns are i like hot baths and hot tubs, and I really like the idea of scented tablets or spray for my bag. Does anyone have any good suggestions on what to get and where to get these from? I'm a little lost on it. Also I was looking into caps (preferably snap on) for my stoma just to hide it/ be out of the way for intimate activities. So I was hoping someone had advice on that.

Never a dull moment. I have one issue that is happening with both the Hollister and Cololast brand and is pancaking. I am putting lubricant but still happens. Any tricks that anybody knows on how to solve this?

@claudiod I still have some pancaking but not very often I found I must keep my stools very soft like a liquid to avoid the pancaking. I take a stool softner twice a day
