I am sorry to jump in here, but .....if you do chose to use the shower cleaner to rinse your bag, you are goint to ruin the odor and water proof protection barrier built into the pouch. It may look cleaner, but will soon begin to smell and leak.
The best rinse is warm water with some soap. It may not be perfect, but will protect the pouch.

Well it's just coming upto a year since I had my emergency stoma. Since joining MAOM I have learnt all different kinds of ideas to help with the stoma. Not only that I have made a lot of good friends who I can talk to. The beauty of this site is it's not just giving tips and ideas we talk about anything and everything. So thank you for giving us a great site. XX

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.
