I'm now regularly using liquid deodorant drops in my pouch. What a difference for bathroom smell! Has anyone discovered an inexpensive one? I sometimes run out of the one I get with my supplies, so looking for suggestions.

I use baby oil all the time and find it works well for lubricant and odor, and it is relatively inexpensive. Plus, I buy the 3 oz travel size baby oil for when I travel and go out for dinner, etc. These go through TSA no problem in a backpack or carry-on too. Stay well. Penguins7

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.

Vitality Medical is now selling for $5.52 for an 8oz bottle, which will usually last me a month. It works and is a lot cheaper than M9, and it works!

Good to know all these off-the-shelf alternative odor killers in case you run out of ostomy deodorant.

Hello everyone!
The best thing I have found for deodorant in my pouch is a peppermint dietary gel cap. I just drop one in my pouch first thing in the morning, especially if I'm going out. My output is minty fresh for most of the day.
It must be the gel caps! There's peppermint oil inside and when the gel melts the oil is released in the pouch.
