Mini marshmallows to the rescue.
I have no problems at all with naked showering after I found this tip that works wonders for me:
Get up in the morning and eat a cup of mini marshmallows only. Wait 30 minutes before removing your pouch and hopping into the shower.
The marshmallows somehow temporarily stop any flow from the stoma (for me about an hour) so I can get my shower over and sit for twenty minutes while my bare skin around the pouch dries completely before I put a new pouch on. I have done this successfully for six months now and I hope it works for all of you.
Cheers and best wishes from Texas.
