Hi all, does anyone in the Cleveland Ohio area have a bottle of ostomy deodorant I can purchase off of you?
My boss did not put our pay in on time and to order online it will take days to get to me. I'm almost totally out and need it for work at least.

Temporarily, if you need something, try popping into your pouch a few peppermint Altoids - they really work...

Hello everyone!!!
It has been almost a year since joining this site. I just wanted to share. I know a lot of people get concerned about meeting someone on here. I'm not a lifer membership and I had someone initiate to take me out. I've been divorced since 2009. He lives in Chicago. I ignored the first time thinking he was joking. I live in Milwaukee. So a month later he sent me a message through this site saying he wanted to meet me. That was in April this year. I must say it was the best thing that could happen to me. We talk almost every day. We have so much in common. He comes up all the time to spend the day or weekend together. It really does make a difference when someone has an ostomy like you. Such understanding and we always have something to talk about. I want to share because sometimes people think it's hard to meet someone or they say this site doesn't work. I'm a testimony that this site does work. We are talking marriage this time next year. I will keep you posted.

Just cut an aspirin tablet in half and place half in the bottom of the pouch. Many ostomates have found that it works like magic and only costs a penny or two! Some need two halves, and others with very thick stool need to dissolve an aspirin tablet in an ounce or two of water.

Don't know if I can message you to find out when and where to get it from you as I'm not an upgraded member.

Glad that you are going to try it. The reason for cutting aspirin in half is that most are coated and don't dissolve very well. Some ostomates just carry a couple of aspirins in the pocket and before using one just scrape a corner with the teeth. Some say that baby aspirins dissolve well.
