Pouch Deodorant Alternatives

SallyK · 2023-01-11

Good morning 🌻 I ran out of the lubricating deodorant I use in my pouch so did a search to find an alternative until my order arrived. Thought I would share. Here are some things to put in the pouch:· Mouthwash· hydrogen peroxide· essential oil drops· baking soda· mints like TicTacs· 2 Aspirin tablets· Toothpaste· 1/4th to 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon Other than putting things in your pouch:· Drink a glass of cranberry juice each day· Chopped spinach, eaten once or twice a week helps eliminate odour· Pepto-Bismol is an effective deodorant. Take 1 tablet immediately after meals.· Eat parsley to eliminate odour. I would love to hear what other folks are doing. 😀

Has anyone tried mineral oil? Or heard of any ill effects using it as a lubricant?

I put an altoid mint in bottom of bag after emptying it. I have an ilostomey and yes there can be odor, enough to make me gag.

Were you able to find a good alternative for deodorant/lube? Low on mine, scheduled for reversal next week and unsure if I can get more in the meantime
