Red Solo Cup - A Game-Changer for Ostomy Bag Changes

Past Member · 2023-06-30T09:41:29-04:00

Yup, I said it, RED SOLO CUP!! Grab that solo cup while rolling when changing and fill her up and HAVE A PARTY!! So I have an ileo and I literally never have a quiet time. So bag changes are super fun, lol not really but hey, that's ostomy life, takes me anywhere from 2-3 hours and after that a very short window of about 5 mins to slap on a bag. So while sitting there for over an hour trying to catch my output with a million gauze pads clumped in my hand... I grabbed a red solo cup and boom y'all, works freaking great!

Have you tried Lomotil? Works every time for me.

Oooohhh... love this tip! My stoma always wants to erupt at bag change time. I was thinking she was just talking to my boyfriend. LOL Putting marshmallows on my grocery list.
