I lost my emergency supply bag, which I use to carry a spare change of my ostomy pouch, barrier, wipes, and such. It was small, about 7 inches square. Very handy to keep in an emergency when I am away from home. Does anyone know where I can buy one?
I checked with my supplier, and they do not carry anything like it.

I use a small camera bag. Also, you probably could use a makeup bag or sponge bag. I don't live in the states, but I am sure they are available in many stores.

You should try calling Hollister, they sent me a small black one when I first had my surgery then I called them later to see if I could buy another one to keep in my car and they just sent me another one for free.

I have lost a few bags in my travels. Travels have little to do with losing them. It has lots to do with my mind?!

And, yes, a small camera bag works well. Most of my stuff comes from WM. I keep spares because I travel in a few different vehicles. Loren

Hollister sent me a replacement as well. All the companies have always given me helpful information and samples. I use a Hollister product, so that's who I called for the travel bag. Good luck!

I use a fanny pack; it holds everything I need and is very portable.

I have several emergency kits. I keep a change of clothes (pants, shirt, and underwear) as well as ostomy supplies in the trunk of my car at all times. Also, I have a small envelope with an ostomy change in my briefcase and in my golf bag. In the past 15 months since my operation, I had to have an emergency change only once...while my golfing buddies patiently waited on the first tee. I was completely distraught, but the experience taught me not to panic when leaks happen but to deal with these setbacks in a level-headed way. I'll credit the Boy Scouts for my being prepared, which makes all the difference.

You can't be serious.

Simply get a plastic bag of the size you choose and fill it with the items you feel comfortable with.

A small, flat, black makeup bag works fine... and looks perfectly inconspicuous in any handbag. I only carry the bare minimum in it: precut Hollister Ceraplus Bag, Hollister Ceraring, LBF Sachets (they remove all residue), a small disposable black plastic bag, and a couple of folded dry wipes I can throw away - that's it! My brother uses a slim flat black leather wallet to carry in his trouser pocket, as he flatly refuses to carry a "man bag" around. Lol. You'd be surprised how flat and small the above "emergency" kit can actually be folded up into a very small bag. You really don't need to carry much with you for an "emergency change." Don't over-complicate your life.
