Crazy is on the bus. Next stop?
Anywhere USA.
Would you find it easier to dump empty into a larger container by standing up?
I speak of doing this out of practice. It saves knees, back, toilet paper, and clean-up time, of which there is none.
Very practical. Cheech and Chong "gotta go to the can, man." Indeed.
Maybe now since I’m not using the Adapt, I will go longer. But whew… that stuff really made my bag smell even with the filter 😕😷. My insurance pays 100%. I am very fortunate but I still try not to be wasteful.

Happy New Year to all! One of the best things that happened in 2024 was finding this site. I get advice, support, humor from y’all. Great to be a part of such a kind and caring group.
Everyone is different, I think? I don't know any different because this is what I started out with.
My insurance only wants to pay for M9 drops. I hardly use them because they just smell funky to me. I'd rather deal with output smell, which is rarely an issue anyway as I have an ileostomy that is often liquid and doesn't smell. But there is definitely a weird smell to them.
Sadly, I must agree. I found that not only does it have a weird smell, it doesn't work as intended.
I have found Safe'n'Simple Ostomy Deodorant to be the most effective deodorant and it has no odor. It can be purchased on Amazon.
