A day leak-free?
Favorite internet radio station?
"Mi Soul" app, 3 stations in one: Mi Soul,
Mi Groove & Mi House. You will be hooked,
I promise!
Night - large brandy & port with a slice of lemon & a block of ice!
Medicinal.
Sleep - an hour before midnight is worth 2 after!
Hair dryer! Warm up your skin & bag before & after fitting to the skin & you will have much fewer leaks! Big game changer!
Another idea I tried which works is to buy a wheat bag you heat up in the microwave & put it over the bag to heat the seal up. I use it in my Moho.
I got a long bolster pillow about 4 feet long for my bed & when I do go to bed, I put it parallel to my body & "tree hug" it with one arm & leg over it on my side. Great if you sleep alone & only have one bag, but trickier with 2. So I sleep on my colostomy side as I rarely have output in the night & get a much deeper sleep than on your back!
